Wait what-

O-

Had to be made cuter They were the creaters of crashe's dance which features humping the air

Banicute must be UK. In Japan it's Kurashyu Bandeikuu.

Emerald The cat meanwhile tra- I mean fake crash is crying on the inside about how he's designed after a crummy Japanese crash doll

Shulk fangirl someone didn't get the joke they made

here he's bandiCOOL

No, it's Bandicam

@Alezander2002 yeah same obi is just a kid who likes fortnite dance don't worry your choice is correct

Yep alez

That's what went through my head when I saw this video's thumbnail.

To be honest they look almost exactly the same. I wouldn't be able to tell which one is the Japanese one at a glance. The difference in style is a lot more subtle than the range of styles on sites like pixiv, ranging from ultra realistic to Western cartoonish to different anime styles. This is especially easy to see if you look for pictures of Pokemon characters. It really just shows that it's not really the style that matters, but how much effort you put into making it look good.

western is kinda cringe, honestly the japanese design looks way closer to how he's portrayed in the og games

@@Danny_Cruz it's not really cringey though...

​@@Danny_Cruz How?

StalkerZHS it's so goddamn hilarious man

Funny you should say that...

Complete with pelvic thrusting!

Yo pass me the aux cable u better not play trash lol okay

+vince94 (haxxor199x) This is not Trash, this is Crash

i thought it was just a cartoon thing, didn't know it happened irl, shit

Sannidor Yeah, I wanna hear more about that honestly.

How hard is it to search "Japanese murders" or something related in google?

Why does Japan have to be extremely bizarre in everything

Yeah. Why can't their serial killers just rape, kill and eat their victims like in ordinary countries?

KyFinesse it's crash bandicoot

It's because they made him more kawaii, get it?

DoctorPhileasFragg then crash kawaiidicoot

randomroblox fanboi Its Crash Kawaiicoot. NOT CRASH BANDICOOT! *BOOP* Gone now.

OH GOD FANFIC GONE SEXUAL AND CRAZY

So uka means live?

@@marycollins1945 lol

Long ago in a distant land...

Apparently uka means evil in Bulgeria. Maybe the changed the pronunciation from acoo to aykugh or something

Aku means a lot of stuff in japan... Uka can just means 受かって means receive... lmao

Psycho3418 yeah USA makes kirby look angry

dafuq hahahaha

Psycho3418 Tbh if i had to save a immense world every year i would get pissed too

That does not excuse the insolent act of alienating foreign material. Goes for both America and Japan.

Japan: Make everything cute and it's okay to sexualize people. US: Make everything edgy but no child.can see over sexualized people.

I SWEAR TO GOD

Nice Puns

Sir, you deserve a medal.

Well, he already does... constantly, in this video.

Tim Hoving Crash bandislim

I think kids games are supposed to be easier or something, idk

@@cacomeat7385 The Megaman games ARE kids games but they're were given an easier mode labelled Normal Mode and the original japanese mode was labelled Hard Mode. I think this is just the Japanese trying to undermine the US at every turn as they are known to do. They are still a pretty xenophobic country after all.

@@Edward-Not-Elric yes but in the resident evil series, the contrary happened: the hard difficulty was the standard difficulty in the west in some games, so it is not always true

As a kid, I called them "tint" boxes for years. I still got the message.

GozUnlimited bull. If you've seen a Looney toons cartoon, you should know what that stands for

Robert Carter So every kid who played Crash has definitely seen Looney Tunes AND made the connection? For all they know, the word "Acme" could have meant explosives.

Fernando Banda It had to be associated with getting blown up. TNT actually ends up being an acronym for Trinitrotoluene.... and explosive chemical. A RED crate with letters tnt on it....res is associated with danger.

Robert Carter Now tell me those are completely reasonable assumptions and knowledge from a kid, come on.

and sonic lol

Sonic isn't really popular in Japan, Sega made him strictly to appease to Westerners such as Americans and Europeans. I mean his personality alone is a mixture of 90s American youth culture and Bill Clinton.

Sega themselves have said that he was made with Western and Japaneese audiences in mind. Sega of America was worried that Sonic would fail, so they made Sonic look more edgy in the marketing, changed Eggman's name, and even changed his backstory. ...Unlike Kirby, a majority of that was dropped after the success of Sonic 1 and 2.

I'd argue he still retains many of the characteristics that were placed on him by Sega and America. As I said, he doesn't have that much appeal in Japan today, its Americans, North Americans and Europeans that are nuts about him. And one of the reasons I've been told as to why he isn't popular in Japan is because he's too edgy and cocky.

+Thomas Ruth Considering that USA has very little control over how the games are handled outside of localazation, I don't think that's entirely true. The games in between 98 and 06 for instance come off as Japan TRYING to appeal to a western audience but doesn't really know how. Sure you got Shadow with guns and even a Final Fantasy esc like game in 06, but its still very obviously a Japanese game. If anything it didn't start to really become truely "americanized" until Unleashed moving forward with very basic plots and art styles. So in a way, Sonic is very much American since the JP market for him is very dead. But I think it has very little to do with the marketing in the 90's as that VERY quickly ended up being a fad that most people don't remember these days! :/

frankbauerful as much overthinking as american execs when redesigning kirby of all characters to look pissed off

frankbauerful they are acting like spoiled brats with power. That is all.....

Kagereneko MegaMan 's name change made little difference. Personally, we are more receptive of Japanese games and other entertainment

Kagereneko "Earthbound" sounds more epic. And the design of Megaman was a more egregious change.

Kagereneko you can blame small left wing localisation business', I don't know why but pretty much anybody from the US who works in game localisation has an agenda.

Yes.

It’s just a theory... *A GAME THEORY*

Tell that to Kingdom Hearts 1 where the opposite happened.

Some things get removed too.

Kryptnyt well the original metal gear solid was made in Japan and when they were released in the US they added plenty of content like a first person view mode and afew other additions

Both Japan and the West used to dumb down their games for the other's market.

uqbar42 Agressive can mean many things but they made him cute to make him more marketable, just like throwing in a girl in a bikini makes something more marketable

Exactly that's why I find awesome how different are the human cultures. Try to imagine the reverse case: Have Crash being Japanese but being localizated for America censoring the bikini ladies and making him more rude...

And these are the same guys who LOVE making horrifying shit.

It's funny that with the Western release of Kirby games, a lot of the box art had to make him look aggressive to appeal to the Western audience, lol.

Culture of raping lolis

Well, most Japanese women sound like that, even older ones.

​@@GabePickles3837 Another reason why Japanese dubbing sucks

MasterXG Cultural differences, the age old argument

MasterXG it happens the other way around alot too..

+Alexandra Prescott+ I wonder what they think of papa Nier.

MasterXG except during video game history 99% of the time Japanese games were those changed unrecognizable for usa market

Yep. And games are the only things changed. Merchandising in stores are changed (even for American brands) since Japanese fashion preferences differ, marketing materials for films are altered, so on and so forth. And, of course, not only just for Japan, but every country out there in the world. It's a big world, eh?

I think when he said aggressive, he meant intimidating, not so much as violent

So it's not okay to have some ''scary'' looking fake animal on a game but it's okay to show tits, murder, weapons, zombies, death ect...

I don't think Japan censored the box art, they just reinterpreted it. Like when someone does fanart where the character looks more detailed or "realistic" than they normally would. It's a different take on the character. EDIT: Not every change that is done in other countries is a "censor."

Are you saying that boobs *aren't* ok for kids to see? You know, those things that are literally designed for kids, and that they often have their faces buried in for at least the first year of their life?

OnEiNsAnEmOtHeRfUcKa i think they mean used for sex appeal

Holy shit

I think its just you but my god is that creative

It does!!!

Holy shit, your right

It kinda does actually... I wonder why.

And THAT high-pitched voice, is why I don't watch my anime in japanese, and will always set j-rpgs to english if given the option. I don't care if the english voice acting is bad, at least it doesn't rape my ears with the voice of a 14 year old high-school girl who's had her nuts cut off.

PikaLink91 Umm... although I agree with you about the Japanese voices, why would a 14 year-old high school GIRL have nuts in the first place? Also, wouldn't you want them to be nutless?

PikaLink91 to be fair yeah its kind of anoying but i also dont watch those kinds of anime too often so most of the times its only on my porn.

FirEmblm Fan - Hahahahah, fair point mate! xD

The dick makes it better..

Henry Rahardja You mean all three wearing bikinis right?

Who?

@@TheManuHimself I'd pay to see that

This was a damage animation, and Crash does have a full body, so seeing him reduced to this at the time could've caused issues.

let them be xD

I don't think sony had any part in the tentacle porn except for some of the TV's it's played on.

Well sony made mosft of the companies of anime in japan and the animation groups and the openings sound and endings in Sony Music. So yeah , they have made a lot of tentable porn

Daniel Son I don't know what tentable porn is

Pheenixorphan X or maybe somebody gets fucked by 10 tables, that'd be wild

Supreme Dorf I'VE GOT TWO WORDS FOR YA!

Supreme Dorf That dance is in every version...

*WHO THE FUCK SAID THAT?*

*FBI OPEN UP*

*more annoying

calm down guys it's just Japanese for brother

thank you from a person watching with low volume

Quantum lol

Yeah it bangs

I like the brighter colors!

I think it was more of a case of the company believing that the western depiction of crash bandicoot would not be very popular with the Japanese market rather than the typical response of it being inappropriate for children as many western games do not take off well in Japan like Call of Duty (I am not saying that call of duty wasn't popular in japan, but it is nowhere near as popular as it is in the west)

lol Nice job But i think ill stop feeding the troll now ^^

lol i think ill stop feeding the troll now ^^

except the onii-chan part ...

El Sueño Same

El Sueño *KURRASHU BANDIKUU*

*[ Ooh Yeah ]*

A lower graphic of Crash.

volarecantare yep

I would imagine it would be like Wario or BOTW Link or 90% of Ultimate these days, where there are Costumes for both versions so people can play both. Don't forget that Marth and Roy was going to be Japanese only but they changed there minds when the series was going to release in the west. Or they may do what you said or a combo of both looks, Either way, If the Japanese Crash theme isn't in all versions of the game I will be disappointed.

Considering Sakurai respects the source material of the characters, he would 100% use the original US design. Maybe the spirits would be different but not the 3D render and model

Jaroslav Jancik *speech:100*

Jaroslav Jancik this is the most funny exchange i have ever seen

FACTS I was wondering that

Climbing to the end It's not a anime

Finally somebody said this

Hiro Mamoru *WOOOOOSH*

Hiro Mamoru it's a joke

Along with Toy Story, Cory in the House, Seinfeld, and Home Improvement.

UberGames 23 nope

it's very unsettling IMO. seeing Crash in real life footage and the humans doing the same movements. very weird. it's so jarring visually compared to the game. I like creepy weird stuff though so I enjoy the karaoke in an ironic way.

Hahaha I love it, and the fact that it's filmed in Mexico makes it even funnier 😂

To enjoy it, you need to sing along. A 1, 2, 3 now... Crash BandicoooOOOT, Crash BandicoooOOOT, Crash BandiCOOT!, Crash BandiCOOT!, Crash BandicoooOOOT, Crash BandicoooOOOT, Crash BandiCOOT!, Crash BandiCOOT!...

The bikini girl is so beautiful and hot

this was the 90s. Times have changed since then.

Different age rating? Keep in mind that ratings may be law in Japan. Child services can take away chilren for disregarding them.

@@Mi_Fa_Volare HUGE ANIME BREASTS

@@KokoroKatsura What's got this anything to do with that? Your point is?

yazeed alsharif 02.

I mean, you don't like cute things? I bet that there's an animal in the world that you like because it's cute and because you think it's cute. Besides, I agree on the concept that showing a character that looks cute for the box art can affect the sales positively since the game is being targeted towards children. In my opinion, I prefer the japanese box art taking nostalgia aside. I mean, I am not a huge fan of those art styles that purposely make the characters look gross like the disgusting cartoon that is "Almost Naked Animals". The same applies for art styles that make character just look... a bit too crazy and ugly. So yeah, I like cute instead of ugly. If something looks better, I lean more towards it. Also, japan is not really obsessed with anything cute. It's the same country that make some really... weird commercials and horror movies and games.

boi Japanese Crash looks clumsy, not cute.

two nukes to the face can really change a country...

See Kirby or Ristar if you somehow know him. In USA, they're both angry, but in JPN, they look surprised or happy.

R3DMatador and the calendar Aztec xD Crash Bandicute love Mexico xD

Why is a game from the West so popular in Japan anyways?

@@SportsFan838 The same reason why certain anime is so popular from Japan to the West. It's called certain values that in countries that other countries don't see from it.

​@@Solbankai66 I just don't like how Japan obsesses over certain stuff. It's weird and creepy

@@SportsFan838 hey take a look over in the West. We got tons of people obsessed with crazy things from the East and so on. So like I said you're just going to have to get used to that.

BlazeHeartPanther Blaze It's kinda funny - the dance we all know and love came from the Japanese marketing.

James Meldrum You know, with them having to change the design of Crash, I'm surprised they kept the dance with Crash air humping. But you know, I'm cool with it.

Williord They're the ones who made it - of course they kept it.

After hearing it 2 or 3 times in this video I want to claw out peoples eyes.. :|

I'll make sure to prepare the straight jacket the day that comes to past

Matrap CP *WHO SAID THAT?!*

4:24

+ MrMysticHD05 wow just...wow

normie

Oni-Chan does mean big brother. No sexual meaning by itself.

F you the song bangs

Crash is a dude, dude.

He's clearly a male, first he looks like a male, he sounds like one, he doesn't have anything covering his top (unlike coco).

They is gender neutral and applies to anyone. It's not for when you don't know someone's gender

You read my comment wrong. I never said you couldn't use it that way; I said that's not what's is sole purpose is

Arcaden ikr

Most of the 4kids backlash didn't really occur until they dubbed One Piece. That's because they were completely cutting out character development and changing backstory. I guess that would explain how Digimon never had any major complaints.

Shockingfire7 people tend to care more about things that more directly affect them.

Because they didn't. None of the changes were aimed at making it more "kid-friendly".

Thomas C but we also censor things

Are you new to this channel? Pretty sure there MANY instances of japan censoring things from the West (mostly violence).

holdingdegree9 Not new, but I mostly followed censorship videos of the US or Germany. that alone pisses me so off, so that's the first time I realized how it is in Japan

I am a bucket You are right, bit isn't redesigning and modifying a game not part of censorship, somehow?

This isn't about "appreciating another culture". literally every country censors things from other countries in some way, shape, or form. It's not new

There are things in Japan called youth protection law and ratings. Violent films and games are rated for older audiences. And the ratings are the law there. It is not like the US, where the ratings are recommendations and you can commerically market Alien franchize toys aimed to children.

Alienrun Japanese Classic Sonic has that timeless Classic Mikey (1920s- 40s) vibe.

Also, in one of Sailor Moon crystals intros, many instances of nudity can be seen.

MCKing I want to play a game (Saw movie franchise)

I think the N. Sane Trilogy one gets the job done better.

Straight facts

That was the first thing I wondered as well. According to the wiki, the Japanese title was about giants as opposed to two heads. crashbandicoot.fandom.com/wiki/Double_Header

No shit.

Telekinetic Japan hates anime weebs

+LogankiDoesGaming calm down! he didnt try to offend japan, he just pointed out japan being very different to his home country...

LogankiDoesGaming What are you talking about? Not all Americans think that way about Japan. Those are just weebs and not every weeb is American.

I didn't mean to offend anyone. It's just a joke.

i guess is for deaf people?

its also for people who can read. example, reading my post... try it

Kid, calm down.

It's because CG's core audience doesn't know how to watch anything that doesn't have subtitles covering up the screen

actually... i think its because youtube captions are so often horribly incorrect

volarecantre Why do you have to act so racist and stupid? You shouldn't just judge all Americans or all Japanese people based off of comments made by people of that nationality. That is just racist profiling and stereotyping.

The American nation is a nation, not a race. What a typical American remark. You call everything racist, do you?

volarecantare First off, I can see that you didn't really get my message very well and skipped over the part where I said you should judge someone of one NATIONALITY based of your interactions with someone else of that nationality. What other word could I have used for someone who stereotypes people of a nation? And I don't call everything racist. I am calling you racist based off of how you talk about american people. Even then, when you replied to me you sounded like someone who looks down on others, and again most proven when you said this : " What a typical American remark", as if you act better. What I am trying to say is that everyone is different and where you live or what your race is doesn't just determine how someone thinks, acts, or feels about things. That is why I called you stupid, for actually believing that because someone lives in America(or better known as the USA) means that they can't see logic, which that statement itself isn't logical.

TheGameFreak I don't care. Choose a more suitable word for what you mean, (US-) American.

volarecantare god damn, now aren't you salty?

What silly marketing. Shows that the Japanese and Americans are quite alike. It was the 90s and they still had such market considerations. Shamefur disprey. They follow American example to a harmful extend. And also get it wrong quite a lot. Alienation is wrong and both of you Americans and Japanese should be ashamed.
