Thankgod for the US version.

He's wearing a hat, retard.

>>714565853 (OP)
>really need to
i never heard that one. Story?

uoh

Is there a naked Paula too

>>714565853 (OP)
why did US version give him an Auschwitz uniform?

>>714565853 (OP)
They aren't brainwashed by Christianity to see the innocent naked form as a big deal.

>>714565853 (OP)
They were brainwashed by Greeks to not see the innocent naked form as a big deal.

>>714565853 (OP)
the pajamas simply look better as a sprite
who goes to bed naked but with your hat on
shit is retarded
look at those cute pajamas, soulful as fuck

>>714567054
There's dozens of naked cherubs in every church.

What's a Ness? His name was Penis.

>>714567923
It's short for Loch Ness

>>714567923
his name is P. Ness

What went wrong with the land of freedom?

>>714565853 (OP)
...
why did the u.s. prototype give him a big smile?

is this THE thread?

isn't this game set in burgerland? in that case the localization change is good, because americans don't wear hats to bed

>>714567523
Puritans hate those and they are the foundation of American culture.

>>714569417
Puritans were a weird cult too extreme even for Anglican proties.

he's naked in magicant, not his bedroom.

i used to think ness being naked but still wearing his hat was supposed to be a reference to that popular joke:
>i dreamt the only thing i was wearing was a hat!
and magicant is technically a dream so it fit.
but i often see people say nudity is supposed to symbolize purity in jp culture.
so, i'm not really sure.

>>714565853 (OP)
Because you are always naked in dreams.

Kumatora (he/him)

>>714569717
It's this but also rebirth symbolism after emerging from water to fight the golden statue

>>714573829
it could also represent vulnerability since magicant in m2 is ness' inner world.

For what its worth, Marcus Lindblom, the translator who wrote 90% of Earthbound's script, wanted to keep Ness naked. The censorship was corporate's doing.

>>714574295
>If I had my choice I would've left Ness naked in Magicant. Because I thought that was kind of awesome.
based

>>714574295
I guess I can see why they took it out but I think it's funnier but also more thematically appropriate for ness to be naked.

there were unused battle backgrounds with naked lucas and claus too.
it was probably for a similar reason.

>>714565853 (OP)
Why is Ness happiest in the US prototype version?

>>714568998
>>714574892
They were probably testing their capability to edit the graphics before they settled on reusing the pajama sprites from earlier in the game.

>>714565853 (OP)
someone please draw Ness naked please with his small cute willy and his bubble butt bouncing about

>>714575098
porky...

>>714575098
paula...

>>714569330
Is Lucas a hapa?

do non pedophiles really want to see naked children?
i remember once seeing a 5 year walking around naked at a barbeque and i wish i didn't

>>714575307
he's probably american.
or french lol.

>>714575378
no, i just think it would've fit better for ness to stay naked.
i know why they didn't go through with it though and i get it.
it doesn't matter that much.
and you can't really see anything anyway in ness' sprite so i don't get how someone could even be attracted to his sprite.
it's just meant to look cute in the general kiddy way.

>>714572830
so why hasn't anyone ever found the eb64 prototype cartridges?

>>714565853 (OP)
>nipples
Holy fucking basedino!!!!

>>714567523
Have you ever seen naked female angels in churches?

>>714576615
No, never.

>>714576696
i think he's saying since naked female angels are so hot that that's why there are so many cherubs in churches.

>>714576696
See told you.

>>714574892
i read somewhere the graphics got fucked at some point

>>714575098
Dr Andonuts...

>>714575098
he should be censored with text in front of him that says "Boing!" in mr. saturn font.

why was there an angry hinawa ghost sprite?

Some Japanese fan did draw Ness naked with his penis visisible in the Official mother comic collection/collab.
>Itoi approved this

>>714565853 (OP)
What about Paula??

>>714565853 (OP)
every year I go to the beach I see bunch of naked children running around and no one really fucking cares
would that be possible in the US?

>>714566250
He's only missing a number on him before they throw him into a pit

>>714580751
The crayon shin chan anime has shin chan literally naked like 30% of the episodes and with his wiener clearly visible and part of the joke, it's a common thing in japan.
The thing would have been if it was a girl this wouldn't have happened because it seems it's only pedophilia if it has a vulva.

>>714576615
Yes, actually. A lot of classical art in churches - especially renaissance stuff - features nudity, including angels. It's not meant to be sexual but symbolic of purity or innocence. Cherubs especially got the naked baby treatment. It's only in more modern interpretations that people started covering everything up.

>>714565853 (OP)
>nudity is evil
Your mind is completely fucked

>>714579635
maybe it was meant for the final battle when she tells Lucas and Claus to stop fighting

>>714582261
You sure? I'm fairly sure female cherubs are always censored down there.

>>714565853 (OP)
Nudity isn't a big deal for Japanese people. They even share baths together sometimes with their kids. Also they have a lot of bathhouses where everyone is naked. It's just normal. America is full of prudes.

>>714580751
cute penis!

>>714565853 (OP)
They associate nudity with rebirth and purity
It's a culturally thing
