Is it gunna be the same censored version the Wii U got?
Hi bbouinin,
About the censorship, the publisher didn’t say anything as of the moment. So, let’s wait for further announcements.
Thanks for visiting our blog,

If you mean the swimsuit costumes which were replaced by Zelda/Samus in the west, then neither the swimsuits nor the Nintendo costumes will be in the new version. But there will be a bunch of new costumes exclusive to the new version including 3 new swimsuits. So you can hardly speak of a “censored version” at this point.
To clarify, the physical Japanese PS4 version will have English text, is that correct?
And if I order it from your store, will it include the pre-order bonus costume mentioned here?

Hello Keiyuu,
The Asia PS4 version has the English text. However, for the pre-order bonus, it’s not promised due to limited quantities.

For the Nintendo Switch Asia-region physical release, will English Voice & Text be included in the game cartridge?
Or will the Asia-region version also receive English content as a patch on November 30th (the same way as the Japanese physical release)?
(At the time of this post) it seems like the only difference between the Japanese & Asia region physical releases on Nintendo Switch will be the cover and game titles (“Zero” / “Fatal Frame”).
Hi Sam,
The Asia version will also receive a patch for the English language on November 30.

Does the Asian version got delayed or the one listed on the website is some sort of second batch? The release date listed is November 30th, although the Japanese and Chinese versions are listed for release in October 28th…

The information for the language you’re giving is confusing. Your update from 08/16/2021: „The version with confirmed English Language Support as of now is the Asia Version.“ There is no mention of the jap. Version.
However, you are selling the jap. PS4 and Switch Version with english language support. But when I look in the japanese eshop, there is no mention of english language support.
It would be nice to have your source for the language options. I read through your article and found none.
