History Radar / Videogames

* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' has a greatly expanded camera feature compared to its predecessors, with plenty of tools that allow players to make artistic shots from nearly any angle. Enter [[Videogame/StarfoxAdventures Krystal]]: not only is she in her [[NubileSavage skimpy tribal outfit]] for the first time since her original appearance, but she is also wearing ''[[GoingCommando absolutely nothing]]'' under her loincloth, [[InnocentFanserviceGirl and her constant flips]] [[EasterEgg make it easy for perverts to get an eyeful of her nether regions]].[[note]]To put this in perspective: using the in-game camera to look up the skirts of the female characters quickly became a side activity for a chunk of the fandom. [[DevelopersForesight Nintendo expected this]], and [[FanService put real effort into making]] some [[https://files.gamebanana.com/img/ss/srends/57ca55be7c5db.jpg intricate designs]] for their underclothes. [[MediaWatchdog CERO noticed]], and demanded that Nintendo adhere to [[https://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/09/18/cero-and-palutenas-censorship/ draconian]] [[https://kotaku.com/princess-peachs-underwear-is-protected-from-your-gaze-1634782027 censorship]] standards that almost delayed the release of ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and are still in effect. ''[[FailedASpotCheck Krystal slipped by despite this]],'' and [[BeyondTheImpossible to make it even more incredible]], she ''[[AvertedTrope averts]]'' ''BarbieDollAnatomy'' in [[http://web.archive.org/web/20190128013921/https://imgtc.com/i/KOH5Go6.jpg some]] [[https://i.imgur.com//OffoMLh.jpg detail]].[[/note]]

* ''VideoGame/BionicCommando'', released when Nintendo of America's censorship policies were at their strictest, got all of its Nazi references scrubbed clean, but it managed to sneak in one instance of the word "damn", as well as a scene where Adolf Hitler/Master-D's head explodes into LudicrousGibs.

* ''VideoGame/TheAdventuresOfWillyBeamish'', a cult favorite remnant of the UsefulNotes/SegaCD, is pretty much nothing ''but'' adult innuendo. Most of the women are HeadTurningBeauty levels of busty, characters' names are dirty puns ("Lewis Stools" comes to mind), and so on. It's roughly the point-and-click adventure game equivalent to ''Animaniacs'', only somehow bawdier.

* In ''[=EyeToy: Play=]'', the tech demo for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2's [=EyeToy=] peripheral, the window-cleaning minigame had Music/GeorgeFormby's "The Window Cleaner" as background music. This would be fine if it wasn't ''one of the most risqué songs of the 1930s''; every single verse is about said window cleaner being a peeping tom.

* Sometimes, all one needs is a well-placed black bar or two to get something past the radar, but sometimes that bar doesn't stay placed all that well, as was the case with the Naked Ninjas in the UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn game ''Three Dirty Dwarves''. The Ninjas were quick while their censor bars were slow, making them the ultimate in {{Highly Visible Ninja}}s that make Mai Shiranui look downright prudish by comparison.

* The original ''Strikers 1945'', a VerticalScrollingShooter with otherwise no objectionable content, has special FanService [[http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/arcade/d/s45.htm endings]] (kinda NSFW). Despite the game being released in American arcades, it managed to avoid the wrath of {{Media Watchdog}}s, presumably due to the challenging requirements to unlock the special endings (get a gold medal on every mission) and the very low ratio of dedicated shmup players to casual ones in the US.

* ''Jail Break'', a 1986 arcade game by Creator/{{Konami}}, has a topless woman briefly appear randomly if the player shoots an enemy out of a window. Were the censors on break?

* While it is unclear if the Philips CD-I had a rating board, one game for the CD-i, called ''The Apprentice'', managed to include a [[AllAnimeIsNaughtyTentacles manga-looking bonus stage that can best be described as very suggestive]]. It might perhaps even be the first case ever in which a Western animated feature ever was blamed of featuring {{Hentai}}.

** A certain RunningGag between [[MsFanservice Mai]] and [[McNinja Andy]] during the NESTS Chronicles reeks of thias. In both '99 and 2001, Mai shows up with a tyke of her own in her arms, which then acknowledges Andy/crawls towards to him while shouting "Papa!"; Andy's stricken [[OhCrap with a look of pure horror and disbelief]], only for [[{{Troll}} Mai]] to reveal that the baby is just a puppet and for Andy to nervously attempt to save face. This heavily imples [[FriendsWithBenefits that they've slept together]], since not only the "baby" looks a lot like a mini-Andy but Andy himself wouldn't freak out '''that''' badly if he didn't think the "kiddo" isn't his's...

-->'''Benimaru''' [after Kyo gets PISSED at their current rivals]: Now now, this is no way to treat a woman. Oh how I wish we had met in different circumstances...
-->[[spoiler: '''Mature''']]: My, what swet words. You've touched my heart... I'll spend some extra time carving you up!
-->'''Benimaru''': I never leave a lady wanting more. [[ChickMagnet I can give you references if you'd like]].

** In ''VideoGame/PajamaSam: Thunder and Lightning aren't so frightening'' Sam can use the toilet at World Wide Weather, which involves him unbottoning his pajamas, exposing his rear end to the viewers, take a dump and then ''wipe with his own cape''. No *actual* crap is seen, thankfully.
** In ''VideoGame/PuttPutt Saves the Zoo'', if Putt-Putt eats 10 cotton candies, he will [[VomitIndiscretionShot throw up]] at which point his dog, Pep, will jump off and ''lick it all up''. There's also a toucan who tells a bizarre joke without a real punchline that involves a king shooting a servant dead.

* Creator/HumongousEntertainment has included, probablly as in-jokes, some rather disturbing unused animations in some of its games, accessible via debug rooms:

* The third ''Farm Frenzy'' game is called Russian Roulette, and while it does involve growing food for Russian cosmonauts, the main character is holding a gun on the title screen. Yikes. The only ESRB [[http://www.esrb.org/ratings/synopsis.jsp?Certificate=29382 content warning]] is for "Comic Mischief".

* ''Franchise/MetalGear'':

** ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' for the NES managed to get away with not only letting Solid Snake keep his cigarettes, but also with printing a picture of him [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p04sna_-_Copy.jpg smoking badassedly]] in the manual. While that artwork was taken wholesale from the Japanese MSX ''Metal Gear'' manual, there was no reason that they couldn't have used the [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p10sna.jpg more innocent picture of Snake]] from it instead, and it's impressive they managed to get it printed. (Shows extra diligence when the F.X. Nine novelization of the NES game refused to let Snake kill anyone (although he was allowed to graphically blow up a giant scorpion) and had him [[NoSmoking turn down cigarettes at one point]] because they were bad for him.)

* ''VideoGame/WildArms5'' has a BonusBoss called "Adult Mag", which can be fought by taking a peek in a magazine on the floor of a blown up house. You can only examine it when your active party is made of all males.

* ''VideoGame/{{Solatorobo}}'' seems like a kid-friendly game, all {{Beast M|an}}en and MiniMecha... Then you run into Alman, a CampGay guy who constantly offers to get the hero to work for him full time, and Red increasingly panicking at the idea of getting near him. There's also a scene where KleptomaniacHeroFoundUnderwear, and another where a single lady tells him not to look in a certain drawer of hers (he does, and draws back in panic). The second half of the game also openly deals with genocide [[spoiler: and world war]] and averts NeverSayDie at certain moments, despite this, it has an all-ages rating in Australia and Japan (In comparison, the ESRB gave it E10+ and PEGI a 7+ rating). TheReveal that [[spoiler: Elh is a girl]] happens when he finds [[spoiler: her]] in the shower, [[AllMenArePerverts and for some reason]] moves forward as if to remove [[spoiler: her]] ModestyTowel.
