The people who pre-ordered Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore in Japan are being offered the chance to cancel their order based on misinformation regarding the game, as it has now been confirmed that Japan will be receiving the censored version of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE that was released in the west.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE was an RPG for the Wii U that was originally billed as being a crossover between the Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei series, but became a separate entity of its own. The game was altered for its international release, which included increasing the ages of many of the younger characters and drastically changing a ℱchapter of the game where some of the teenage girl⛦ party members appear in bikinis.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore was announced for the Nintendo Switch during the most recent Nintendo Direct, and the fans noticed that footage from the changed western release was used in the Japanese trailer. The official Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore website used screenshots from the original version, so fans in Japan were unsure of what version they were getting. Nintendo of Japan has now released an for the mix-up and has confirmed that the Japanese version of the game wil𝔉l be based on the altered version.
Nintendo is also offering refunds for both digital and physical pre-orders of the game as a result of the misunderstanding. The official website for Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore now features screenshots from this ver𝔉sion of ꦗthe game, which is becoming the new standard version on the Nintendo Switch.
There was controversy regarding the censorship of the original version of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, as many fans felt that the cuts were excessive, especially in regards to its age rating. Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE on the Nintendo Wii U was criminally overlooked during its day, and the Nintendo Switch porꦰt will finally give it the chance it deserves. We can only hope that the backlash against the changes does not return to sour the reception to the Nintendo Switch version of the game.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore will be released for the Nintend💟o Switch on January 17, 2020.
