    Due to certain child pornography laws, Nintendo's Scandinavian subsidiary decided not to release the game in the territory. Apparently some dude on a Swedish forum thought of reporting the game because some of the girls were under 18, just to make a point of how ridiculous he thought the law was. Nintendo panicked when they heard about this and cancelled the release days before the game was supposed to hit shops. Full story on Eurogamer.

    @Axxol: I thought if someone was going to write about this, they'd do it in the game's forum, and not in General Discussion.

    As long as the girls aren't naked. So they happen to be really developed.... They are not porn games.  


    Also it is okay if Ayane is 16, Ajay is younger then her.

    No. You can legally have sex with anyone that's at least 15 years old, but when it comes to pornography the girls depicted must be at least 18 (even if they're fictional).

    By the way, the guy that threatened to report the game actually did report it. He got the following response from the police:

    Farbror Blå said:

    "I've looked at everything you've linked, but can't find any child pornography...? It's not enough to write that someone's 17 years old, and besides, the image in itself is not pornographic."

    So the game was not "banned". Nintendo could totally have released it and everything would've been fine.

    @Icemael: Wait, so Swedish law says that you can legally have sex with someone three years younger than the age it's legal to view pornographic images of that person?

    What.

    Either way, it's a silly thing to cancel a game release over given that it's not a pornographic game and wasn't deemed to be objectionable by the authorities.

    I know. It's really weird.

    But then, what can you expect from a country where people eat rotten herring and salty liquorice candy?

    I read Sweden in the title, and now all I can think about is the Swedish Chef from the Muppet Show...
