The recent launch of the superhero workplace comedy game Dispatch on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 has not unfolded as anticipated. A wave of discussions surrounding censorship has emerged, raising questions among fans and gamers alike.

Censorship Controversy

In the last week, significant debates have taken place regarding the censored content in the Nintendo versions of Dispatch. This has prompted multiple comments from the developers at AdHoc Studio, as well as a formal response from Nintendo.

Plans for Censored Content

AdHoc Studio previously indicated that they are planning to “address at least some of the censored content” in the Switch versions of the game. However, when GoNintendo inquired about the prospect of a “fully uncensored” physical release, the response was less than hopeful.

GoNintendo: Unfortunately, our contact revealed that there is “no possibility for a physical version to be released without the adjusted content.” They added that the discussion isn’t “currently relevant” as there are no announcements regarding a physical release at this time.

Future of Physical Releases

Despite the lack of a concrete plan for a physical version, Lead Producer Natalie Herman previously expressed enthusiasm for a physical edition, stating, “Let’s just say we’ve dreamed of Dispatch in a shiny red case.” This reveals the team’s dedication to catering to physical media enthusiasts, even if current circumstances dictate otherwise.

Regional Release Strategy

Moreover, in response to inquiries regarding the “singular worldwide release discussion,” AdHoc’s PR representative stated that they are “legally unable to provide further comment on why separate SKUs were not possible for different regions.” This adds another layer of complexity to the release strategy of Dispatch.

Community Reactions

As the situation unfolds, many gamers are left curious about the implications for the game’s future. In light of these developments, questions remain regarding the game’s reception among those who currently own it on Nintendo Switch or Switch 2.
