    Nintendo Said Norty Wurd.

    So Nintendo want to show off the fact that Animal Crossing: City Folk can do various link-up things with 2005's Animal Crossing: Wild World, for the Nintendo DS.

    All good so far.

    Soooo, Nintendo send out to various peeps, game reviewers, and gaming sites, copies of Wild World, with a pre-built city already on the cart. Nice of 'em.

    Problem is, this city had some customised characters in it, and they said some very not Nintendoish words, like the one below.



    A phrase Asians might find offensive, and even the N word!

    Foolish on the Big N's part.

    Everyone noticed, and the story is now all over t'web.

    I wasn't aware "numpty" was a racial slur. However, I am shocked and appalled by this news and shall never ever buy anything Nintendo ever again in the history of ever.

    lol, I know it's a mistake pure and simple, but nice one ninty. They wouldn't be a true gaming console developer without a few PR disasters under their belt.
    A signature? Oh... Okay...

    Re: Nintendo Said Norty Wurd.

    Dont you just love poor translation.


    The mistake follows two equally embarrassing errors included in Nintendo games last year.

    MindQuiz, a brain training game for the Nintendo DS handheld console, had to be withdrawn from shop shelves after players complained they were being branded "super spaz" for poor performance.

    And copies of Mario Party 8 for the Wii were recalled and altered because character dialogue also included the adjective "spazzed", meaning "crazy".

    Nintendo blamed poor translation from the game's original Japanese.
