Reception
On July 22, 2006, Peter Payne admitted that Peach Princess had censored the English release of X-Change 3Fact|date=January 2008. A total of seven graphics had been removed from the game due to them being of a
lolicon nature. Two other graphics were edited to remove tears and other details from a rape scene. An unknown number of speech and sound effects were removed, and the amount of dialog changed during the translation/conversion is unknown. After backlash from fans of the series, the company has claimed that they had no possible option to release the full game claiming legal reasons, cite web|url=http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=14;t=002487;p=3 |title=Peach Princess Forums |accessdate=2008-01-12 |last=Payne |first=Peter ] despite having sold games of a similar nature, and continuing to do soFact|date=January 2008.While the administrators have said that they are willing to give a refund to those that feel they were misled it should be noted that this is only a partial refund and there is no descript process of requesting it.
A petition was created by fans in hopes of an anti-censorship patch being released by the company. Peach Princess later released a patch restoring some of the content. The rape sequence was put back in unedited, but the lolicon content was still left out.
