Since 2D fighting games were big business in the mid 1990s, I was wondering, did Nintendo pressure the team behind Mortal Kombat 1 to censor its Super Famicom (read: Japanese) port of the game? I'm curious since some articles I recently came across suggest that it was Nintendo of America that was censorship crazy moreso than it was Nintendo as a whole (Nintendo of Japan didn't force religious imagery, partial nudity, and images of death / gore to be censored out of Japanese ports of Castlevania games, for instance) .
Was it merely the North American port of MK that Nintendo had butchered, or did the same fate befall the Japanese port (I'm assuming that there was a Japanese port, even though I don't imagine that it was nearly at hot a commodity as it was in North America).
