    Was it like this in the Wii port, or is this new to the Switch port?
    The Switch Port is based on the Wii port, so everyone might be getting mad over a 15+ year old change.

        It wasn't censored in the EU.

      From some quick Googling, the change in OP's pic seems to be new to the Switch version.

      I guess Nintendo wanted to change it because the act of a man gifting israeliteellery to a woman was viewed as limited or exclusive. Though come to think of it, I have no idea if same sex or alternative couples gift israeliteellery in the way that a man would a woman. Maybe it's old fashioned now?

      This is a far worse example. They just deleted the joke.

      The lonely spam email and the name change from Wollywog to Wollyhop were made in the PAL exclusive Wii release of Pikmin 2 with "New Play Control".
      If these changes were present in the recent US release of Pikmin 2 for Switch, it indicates they used the PAL release as the basis for the Switch?

      Why are they removing references to love and husband and wife? isn't olimar married? Feels like it's just removing bits of charm for no reason also that wollywog change is dumb, sorry EU wollywog is just more fun to say.

    Frankly I just don't see the point of translations that change the entire sentence or meaning? If the sentence in japanese is "this sandwich was delicious" why are they even allowed to change it to something like "hotdogs are better than sandwiches!" I mean it just makes no fricking sense to me? I understand direct translations can not make sense in the english language and you need to change or insert words here or there, but only a little bit for what is fully necessary.
