Resident Evil is censored in Japan. As are Ninja Gaiden, NiOh, and basically any game with limbs being removed. And anime is censored as well. You can't show limb removal on TV. Check out the TV cuts of some shows like Terraformars or JoJo (which also awkwardly censored underage smoking).

I don't know where you guys are getting this idea that Japanese media isn't censored, but it would be great if I didn't have to import Resident Evil games from the US to play them uncensored, but I do.

Also the first 2 Mortal Kombat games were released in Japan. This was before strict censorship was in place. The censorship is done indirectly by the ratings board essentially refusing classification if it goes too far.

I thought only the first arcade game was released in Japan, and only a very very limited run (like under 100 machines)???
