How Nintendo SECRETLY Censored a Character

first! The meme i made for this video wasnt even ussd in the video smh

To be fair, Marina does feel like the kind of person to be all sweet and polite all the time, and then to commit the most savage verbal murder

I haven't heard many people bring this up, I'm glad someone is saying something since it's a pretty neat and weird bit of splatoon history

i remember when this happened and as a pearl fan my reaction was "finally they buffed marina" (i had trouble liking marie in the 1st game because she could be so mean to callie sometimes and i hadnt wanted that to happen again😭i love all the idols now tho)

At least they didn't go the Sailor Moon route and make them cousins

Maybe the theory of “Savage Marina” was that it was pushed by the head honchos in charge of Inkopolis News, thinking that snark sells. But turns out as the game progressed, they got to know Marina a little better behind the scenes, hence the on-screen personality adjustments. So it’s possibly she just needed the OK to peek out of the proverbial shell.

Funny enough, I actually read about this in passing after my late intro thru S2. I don't mind Marina snarking at Pearl, but it needs to fit or it doesn't seem right. Also, Marina is a fan of the Squid Sisters, so there is the thought that she was trying to mimic Marie a bit.

I would really like to see some bit of savage Marinas personality coming back even if it's just for one scene in side order

“Looks up to Pearl” I doubt that 😏

Do you know that marina is actually supposed to have a crush on pearl? The Japanese version of the Splatoon base website describes her as a "maiden in love" towards pearl, but this was changed in the English version

I figured she was teasing and that pearl found it funny

I wouldn't say that's really censorship.. maybe a mistake in the characterization of a character on release. But it's pretty funny ngl. Savage Marina was great, and i like that she would occasionally still get some spicy quips in, later on in splatfests and the news from time to time.

2:23 SILENCE THE NON-PEARLIVER

Yeah I remember that update. I really did see it as kind of an issue though. With Callie and Marie. The rivalry was so entertaining to read. And they really went ALL the way with it. Nintendo started getting complaints from parents about Callie and Marie’s rudeness so for off the hook they designed characters to be nicer Even in the splatoon 2 American version. The rudeness felt very “half assed” compared to Marie. Even then it just made Pearl and Marina watered down personality’s of the squid sisters, with less interesting burns. The nice nature between them works a whole lot better not only for the story. But for reading the stage intro. However I will always forever prefer the squid sisters show. Very entertaining.

I'd figure it was Marina, she shows a little... too much skin in all her outfits we've seen her. She's so mean to Pearl, she one time told Pearl "Aren't you a rapper, how do you not know this?"

whole marina vibe in the EN version is an censorship to me tbh

Savage marina dialogues are still in the French version This time, off the hook ROAST EATCHOTHER 24/24 EVEN IN OCTO EXPANSION, they're showed to be good friends but still say mean things Ah, those Nintendo france translation..

Ah, yes. "Patched Marina's attitude"

I told people about this, but they never believed me to the point where I started to think maybe I made it up. Glad to see I wasn't just misremembering thing after all. Also, #bringbacksavagemarina

Really? This is very interesting. Nice job with this Shuriken. I never knew Marina was censored
