Fallout 3 Edited For Japan

I shouldn’t have to explain why this might be a bit of a sticky issue in Japan, but for the benefit of those who slept through history class, Fat Man was the code name for one of the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan during the closing days of the Second World War. Fat Man devastated the city of Nagasaki, killing between 60,000 and 80,000 people and leaving countless more ravaged by fallout and radiation. To this day, Japan remains the only nation in the history of the world to suffer the brunt of a nuclear attack. According to Kotaku, however, the reaction to the changes among Japanese gamers seems to be “largely disappointment.” Perhaps those old scars aren’t as sensitive as we might think? Fallout 3 goes on sale in Japan in December.
