Could you imagine a Nintendo title being advertised like this today? (Conker's Bad Fur Day, N64) (lemmy.world)

This was printed in Playboy magazine in April 2001.

It's hard to explain to people who weren't around back then how loose the "rules" were for making games. Conker's Bad Fur Day was definitely trying to market itself as edgy, but aside from some faith-based groups who would be upset, nobody really cared.

I know this may come as a shock to you, so please sit down before you read this, but adults do infact buy and use Nintendo consoles.

He said, as he tries talking down to a 41 year old, old enough to remember playing an NES in the 80s.

And then follows up with this gem:

I haven’t used a Switch since about 2018.

You can't make this shit up. Or, well, I guess I personally can't make this shit up. I'm not creative enough to create this level of self satire.

I am old enough to remember consoles connecting to an RF Switch, which then plugged into the TV. Channel 3, baby. Whats your point?

Me not using a Switch since shortly after it came out doesn't mean anything. I brought it up because it was part of my point that I could not remember if there was a profile or parental setting to filter eroge on the Switch eShop. Perhaps there was not when I had used the Switch but now there is, a lot can change in 6 years.
