Dispatch, one of last year's best games, arrives on Switch consoles this week, bringing its brand of workplace comedy, capes, tights, and censored genitalia to the Nintendo platform. While the PC and PS5 versions of Dispatch don't shy away from showing off superhero anatomy--but do offer a toggle to apply a censorship mosaic to any naughty bits--Nintendo's content guidelines have mandated that this mode must be turned on at all times.
There's also no option to turn it off in the Switch edition, so all explicit content has been censored.
"Different platforms have different content criteria, and submissions are evaluated individually," developer AdHoc said to Eurogamer, while also stressing that the game's story and gameplay remain unaffected. "We worked with Nintendo to ensure the content within the title met the criteria to release on their platforms, but the core narrative and gameplay experience remain identical to the original release."
Dispatch was a big hit last year, thanks to the combination of mature storytelling, episodic structure, and gameplay that made this original superhero adventure shine. Set in a fictional version of Los Angeles where superheroes are real, the choice-based narrative game follows former hero-turned-superhero dispatcher Robert Robertson III across eight episodes as he tries to save the day in his new job.
Dispatch Season 2 is under consideration at AdHoc Studio, and it won't take "GTA 6 amounts of time" to be made.
