Overview
- VGC reports that Nintendo deleted at least two popular Bikini Chef Kawasaki uploads, and a third variant is now rising in the rankings.
- Players created the designs in My Machines and sold them in the Machine Market using race-earned coins, where each sale increases a design’s price.
- Anticipation of takedowns drove a rush to buy, briefly making one succubus-themed variant the most expensive and most downloaded machine.
- Other fan-made creations referencing series like Pokemon and Splatoon remain available, indicating enforcement focused on sexualized content rather than IP usage.
- Nintendo has not issued a public statement on the removals, and coverage traces the bikini motif to a 2020 Japanese fan art meme.
