     How about the blood?  That's what was supposed to be removed.  And
the programmer's heads on the stakes in the pit?  Are those still there?

     Well, just so long as this info is from a good, unbiased source...
;-)

     Seriously, I used to read Nintendo Power and I wasn't really
impressed.  The only games that existed in its pages were Nintendo
games (no 3rd party games) and all games were great (according to them.)
I never read a bad thing about any game.

     Anyway, I'd take this with a grain of salt.  Nintendo will say
anything to sell its games.
