Super Smash Bros. Ultimateis at risk of offending some people,eroticism! schoolgirl trapped in an elevator gets raped harshly but Nintendo is taking steps to fix it before the game's Dec. 7 launch.
Ultimatebrings back Mr. Game & Watch as a playable fighter. The vintage character hails from Nintendo's pre-NES days, when the company was best known for its handheld LCD video games. It's actually a conglomeration of the multiple characters that starred in Nintendo's early Game & Watch games.
SEE ALSO: A cheat sheet for researching a video game your kid wants to playThese battery-powered portable devices were big in the '80s, even predating the launch of the Game Boy. Each release consisted of a single game driven by simple rules and rudimentary monochrome graphics. Character animations consisted of no more than a handful of frames. The stone age of video games.
(You can try a bunch of those old Game & Watch-style games at the Internet Archive. None of the old Nintendo products are there, but you'll find plenty of others in the same vein.)
In the Smash Bros. games, Mr. Game & Watch fights like a combination of all the different characters. And unfortunately, one of the older Game & Watch games (Fire Attack) tasked players with defending an old timey fort while torch-wielding Native Americans -- identifiable by the feathers protruding from their heads -- crowded in for an attack.
The original game is of course reflective of a different time when racist depictions of "American Indians" were considered socially acceptable in mainstream arenas. Thankfully, a lot has changed since then.
Unfortunately, imagery of the Native American character from Fire Attackfound its way into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a fact that some fans noticed during a recent Nintendo Direct stream. That led to a conversation about the issue on the popular gaming forum ResetEra, and Nintendo quickly moved to address the issue as more and more people caught wind.
"Nintendo has been planning to distribute an update for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate that removes the feather from the silhouette of Mr. Game & Watch. The original game on which this depiction of the character is based was released more than three decades ago and does not represent our company values today," a Nintendo spokesperson told Mashable in a statement.
"We sincerely apologize that this change was not noticed in our marketing material and are continuing our work to make Super Smash Bros. Ultimate an experience that is both welcoming and fun for everyone."
So there you have it. Good on Nintendo for moving quickly to address this. (Though it would be nice to see more developers and publishers catching this sort of stuff before an issue can even spring up.)
