Saints Row Penetrator Altered In Japan

Saints Row: The Third's release in Japan got a little less amusing.
A THQ representative told Game Informer that, due to stricter guidelines, the publisher had to remove the veins and physics from the in-game Penetrator weapon for its release in Japan. The Penetrator is a melee weapon comprised of a three-foot long purple phallus attached to the handle of a baseball bat.
Unfortunately, we were unable to obtain any images of the changes made to the Japan version.
Saints Row: The Third releases on November 15 in North America and Europe and November 17 in Japan.
