Box art takes after the Japanese version, much like SMRPG

I hope this isn't a hint they're going to be more faithful to the Japanese version and change the original localization.
Previews are starting to come out and.....
Dialogue is largely the same, save for one or two instances of tweaking the text to better match the Japanese original
OK, that doesn't sound too bad -
Nintendo says that some of the game’s script has been updated in line with modern sensibilities for the remaster.

Fuck.
 
So, aside from the chalk outlines in the alleyway and that bit with the train ghost, what kind of damage are we looking here?
Vivian will most likely be a troon, like she is in the original, only obnoxiously so, because subtlety is lost on "modern audiences".

They changed the tutorial fight so the Goomba trio no longer flirts with Goombella, and instead attacks the gang because they don’t like surface-dwellers. I want to say “death to localizers” but apparently this change more accurately reflects the original Japanese script. Can someone confirm this? Either way, I still hate it.

EDIT: It’s not more faithful. In fact, the original Japanese was even more flirty. Death to localizers.

Calm down, they probably won’t go that far. The Playboy bunny Boo uses the original US design, so Vivian will probably also use her US characterization.
Still, how long will it be before someone makes a script restoration mod? And how much longer before GameBanana/Nexus Mods spergs out and removes it?

Come on, it's an city where people can get mugged in broad daylight and nobody would give an shit. An bit about sexual harassment wouldn't be too far out of place.

Yeah, the writers are certainly retarded, right here.

Probably would be best to wait for the inevitable leak, guys. Not saying that the game is completely rewritten for an "modern audience." But there's an really specific event that should be on the list to be rewritten and the only way to know for sure is to wait.

MeToo Movement and it's consequences have been a disaster for writing. Seriously, it's one thing to makes a joke about sexual harrasment in a fictional work and another in real life. I'll still buy the game but man, what a bunch of pussies writers are nowadays.
