Nintendo Responds To Animal Crossing Racial Epithet Issue, Blames Internet

[wraggster]

Earlier we reported on a copy of Animal Crossing: Wild World that was shipped to game journalists with a racial epithet programmed in the speech patterns of one of the game's NPCs. Now Nintendo responds.

A copy of DS title Animal Crossing Wild World sent out to media yesterday by Nintendo came loaded with most of the game's secrets unlocked, it also included a nasty surprise. When you come upon Baabara, the town's resident sheep, you're greeted with a racial epithet. The word is used repeatedly in your conversation with the sheep.

Pretty much, yeah. Its not Nintendo who did that; sometimes the residents ask what they ought to say. And then you can choose.
