I'm a bit upset about this change. Not that I don't like Valentine with pink crosses, I don't really mind that. I just find it a shame that it had to come to this because of this whole Red Cross copyright thing again. Loads of video game media have suffered this same problem in the past, which is a hard thing to avoid since hospitals and healthcare in general are represented by a red cross on a white background. It's disappointing why a company won't allow creative rights over a design so simple it would be difficult not to include it in your work - especially since it is used to represent other media that is in no way related to the Red Cross company. In this case it wasn't necessarily the company's fault, it was simply a precaution in case action had to be taken for whatever reason. But is still a shame either way.

It makes you wonder - if the translators at Nintendo of America never removed the red crosses from Earthbound's North American release, would it still be on the Wii U virtual console now? I know this seems somewhat unrelated, but it's stuff like this that makes you realize how serious copyright can be and the effects it can have on a game - even a indie one!
