The Wolfenstein and South Park ones in particular sounds like something Germany would have made them do anyway. Their censorship laws *really* don't seem to like having the Nazis depicted at all, regardless of how they're portrayed.

Though it has changed just recently. Call of Duty Vanguard was one of the first games that was released in Germany without any censorship of Nazi symbolism. The new rule basically tolerates it if it fits into the historical context and does not glorify Nazism.

As old school that Mortal Kombat is, it pretty much set a standard that has yet to be surpassed and no matter what, is always the go-to example whenever a new game that might be too violent for release on consoles and PC. Every game that has an "M" rating that has appeared since then is monitored by the ESRB which Mortal Kombat hands down caused for said group to be created in the first place. Not even Rockstar or their Grand Theft Auto franchise has ever managed that.

Not surprising number #1 is SPOILER ALERT Mortal Kombat. MK pretty much is thr reason we have the ESRB system in place plus it was banned in various countries in the world in between MK1 to MK 11 depending on where you're from. I remember reading MK9 was banned in Australia and if caught you got 100,000 import fine.😳 Then a few years later they got a ESRB system so now they can play MK. I have few friends there they were bummed about that. I also thought that Dead Space was censored in some countries but not sure.

Everytime I see Conker: Live & Reloaded on any Watchlosers list (WatchMojo), I roll my eyes, I don't care about the censorship, if I wanted to see the uncensored N64 cutscenes, I'd watch them on KZfaq, the new multiplayer mode however I can agree that was unnecessary, but if I want an improved version of Bad Fur Day's single player campaign with better controls and an easier difficulty balancing, censorship or not, Live & Reloaded is still my prefer version of that campaign.
