PS Vita Title Monster Monpiece Will Be Slightly Less Raunchy in the West

Wow, it seems that there’s still enough time left in the day for one more controversial story, so bear with us while we pop on our politician’s hat and attempt to tackle this topic with a professional level of tact. As rumoured late last week, PlayStation Vita role-playing game Monster Monpiece is coming to Europe and North America this Spring – but not entirely in its original form.

The adventure itself sees you arranging the abovementioned cards onto grids and pitting them against opposing decks in order to progress. Battles play out with three-dimensional chibi-style characters to add some visual variety, and you’ll be able to challenge people over the PlayStation Network if you get tired of the artificial intelligence.

While it sounds like only a few cards have been cut, we must concede that we find this localisation baffling to begin with. Let’s be honest, this isn’t the most popular genre on the planet, and any interest surrounding the game seems to stem from its curious use of the Vita’s multiple touch surfaces. Granted, there may well be an exceptional experience hiding inside here – but we suspect that the lead up to this title’s launch is going to be dominated by one topic.

@Epic@BornOfEvil@RyoHazuki I imagine that what they're failing to elaborate on is that it's most likely the more "childlike" cards with sexual content being removed. The West is much more sensitive of such imagery, and I'm assuming that's the main issue being focused on (think of how Mugen Souls was censored).
