Akira Nishitani Reveals Tidbits about SF2 and FF Development

[MrFlutterPie]

So Nintendo US said it's ok to  beat up transgenders?

No they said that they still had to swap out the female looking characters for male looking ones and poison/roxy do not appear in the NA SNES version.

Exactly.  Poison and Roxy were replaced with a male punk sprite called Billy and Sid.  Nintendo U.S is responsible for Poison being Transgender though lol.

The U.S GBA version doesn't even have Poison in it.  They kept Billy and Sid  in it as well.

Yeah, sorry I read that wrong.  I know about the sprite change for SNES.  I was thinking nintendo was thinking oh, it's ok, but lets still change it.  I'm still learning to read.

Regardless I think Capcom said that so they could just get away with less work for localization.

I love how any discussion on Final Fight eventually devolves into "Does Poison have a dick?"

Haha!  So true!  Probably why Capcom said that to begin with.  So nerds decades later will be "so...yes or no?..."

[ccovell]

Yes, it's true!
