Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore is set to blast its way onto the Switch scene in January, and new details found on Nintendo’s official Japanese website show that the game will be based on the censored version of the original title.
When Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE (without the ‘Encore’) first released on Wii U in 2016, some of the game’s more controversial elements were censored in the west. The changes made from the Japanese version encouraged a particularly upset group of fans to create their own patch which removed the censorship, and the localisation also initially disappointed the game’s co-director.
Nintendo’s website notes that the new Switch version of the game is a worldwide release which is based on the western version of the Wii U game. Interestingly, this suggests that the Japanese version of the new title will also be censored, even though the Wii U game was left untouched in Japan the first time around.
The game releases on Switch on 17th January 2020 and can already be pre-ordered from the Nintendo eShop.
