“was finally able to be completed thanks to a new update to the game”

I’d literally never hard of this until I read this message.

I mean, looks like Nintendo is already going to make the change, so probably not going to get much better for them, but I have faith they'll find something else to get triggered over.

Meanwhile... Turns on Sunday football to watch the Redskins.

Awe, poor babies. Is lil Nintendy going to make it all better?

Geez, not everything is a conspiracy you know? Mistakes happen.

You being dumb and impressionable isn’t their problem, it’s your problem for not knowing better. Sakurai didn’t force that on you. Also “this is bad and teaches people to be bad” isn’t a justification for censoring speech. Good speech doesn’t need protection, it’s controversial and bad speech that needs protection

I mean, I know you’re just making the joke here, but I also agree with the Redskins. They’ve clearly declared that it’s not an oversight, they have no intention of fixing it, and they don’t mind the values that you might apply to them, based on their stance on that issue. They’ve made their choice as a free…

With all that’s going on in the world THIS is what “offends” people? It’s idiocy like this that makes me root for the “Giant Meteor”...

Not offended though, I don’t even have a switch, just confounded that something so trivial and insingnificant would cause such a stir.

Gosh! How do you get to sleep when you think so deeply allllllll the time?

I grew up watching all kinds of “racist” and stereotypical depictions of many cultures and I was never “shitty” to any of them. You were just an asshole.

It’s two frames of animation. 

Everything I don’t like is racist.

2002 was 16 years ago and the change back then was done with no fanfare or anything. I doubt they’ve been making a reoccurring notice to all employees about that animations considering how small Game and Watch is in the grand scheme of modern Nintendo. And even if Nintendo of America made a stink about it, I doubt…

Imagine being this offended by a single sprite in a single move that lasts like 1 second.

What do you mean why they added it? It was simply part of Mr. Game and Watch’s animation overhaul where all his moveset more directly resembles the original animations from the Game and Watch games down to faces and accessories. Previously, it was just Mr. Game and Watch using the items of the originals and not much…

It is disturbing.  I agree 100% with Dave-P.  I find it interesting that you felt the need to claim he has a problem, when in actuality he’s only saying something rather tame and moderate.

“The company did not immediately respond to a request for clarification on why it had decided to add the caricature to Smash Bros. Ultimate in the first place.”

the level of PC in the world today is disturbing.  Everyone lighten the fuck up.
