I was thinking about getting it but I seem to remember hearing that it got censored in some way. What exactly did they change? What all is wrong with it?

These are the same thing though.
Not exactly. I grant you that the “controversy” Nintendo was avoiding may have come from the same place, but that doesn’t mean Nintendo bought into it at the time. There’s a definite difference between “whatever, it’s a different culture, I don’t really get why they care but let’s just make a few changes that’ll make them happy so we can sell this” and “I actually believe in this cause!”
Also a huge difference between "let's try not to offend anyone, we want to sell as much as possible" vs. "we must offend bigoted far-right American misogynists and be a force for change in the world, sales be damned" which is NoA today.
The difference being fear of reprisal vs open advocacy. Ok, I guess I can see that being a meaningful distinction.
