Nintendo's censorship of Metropolis: Lux Obscura's eShop listing doesn't quite do the job

GN Version 5.0

Metropolis: Lux Obscura is very much a Mature-rated game. Cursing, sex, nudity, violence, you name it. The game is chock full of adult content, and Nintendo has done their best to censor out some of the nudity for the game's eShop listing. The image above comes from the listing on Nintendo.com, and all is censored out appropriately. The same goes for the actual eShop listing...or so it seems at first. If you are looking at the eShop page while using your Switch in handheld mode, the censorship does the trick. If you're browsing the eShop on your TV, the censored images are...not censored enough, let's say. It'll be interesting to see if Nintendo does as second pass to fix their black bar opacity issue.

Just to be clear, the game itself is completely uncensored. This censorship discussion pertains to the eShop images only.
