Uma Musume: Pretty Derby Removes Taiwan Flag From Mayano Top Gun Design

Japanese users of the video game developed by Cygames , Uma Musume: Pretty Derby , were curious about a new message of updates that will take effect from July 28 at 11:00 am in Japan. The statement explained, among other things, the following:

(Bypass) Various UI and performance tweaks. The number of digits in the coach ID has been expanded to twelve, and all players will receive a new ID of that length on their next start. The Mayano Top Gun racing suit design has been adjusted . Some changes will be made before others and we will also update the help section to reflect these changes ... »

What was modified from the Mayano Top Gun costume ? For this you have to understand the background of the franchise. It turns out that the horse girls ( Uma Musume ) have two outfits ( skins ), one for school and one that they use for running, with the Mayano Top Gun inspired by an aviation uniform . Its official description writes:

" Evade, interception, persecution ... A great girl who dominates all styles of race, changing them at will. It is quite disruptive. In any case, he runs based on how he feels at the moment, and has an inconsistent running record (although he doesn't seem to care at all). He has an innocent and childish personality, always making fun of the coach, but has recently started to grow up a bit and act like he's his age. Every time he wins, he blows exaggerated kisses at the audience .

What is the problem? It turns out that in his racing uniform, the character wears a jacket with several pins with flags from different countries of the world and there is one in particular that could cause delivery problems if your intention is to distribute the video game in China . That's how it is,one of the pins is from the Taiwan flag, also known as the ROC, whose political status is uncertain to date. In addition, Taiwan is claimed by the People's Republic of China, which rejects diplomatic relations with countries that recognize it.

The game was released on February 24 in Japan for mobile devices, while a PC version was released on March 10. Originally its launch was scheduled for Winter-2018 (January-March), however, it has been indefinitely delayed since then in order to improve the quality of the final product. A global release has not been announced but Chinese versions are already in development . The delivery is available in the QooApp catalog at this link .
