That was the game where the move originated. It has a bunch of Native Americans attacking the fort with torches as Mr Game & Watch tries to save the fort.

That's it? Why are they ashamed of their history?

The hardcore lefties will never accept this apology from Nintendo. They'll probably still not buy the game.

It's at the point where it's useless to offer an apology.

There is literally no valid reason for anyone to care about this, and some people are happy it happened, so what is the downside?

That was released back in the 80s and that was a realllyyy different time than now.


back then, they got away with lots of stuff compared to now.
which is why i love the goddamn 90's.

They'll go after this, but the hardcore lefties have all but given up on the Washington Redskins - which is WAYYYY more blatantly racist.

considering ResetEra (aka "liberals") Were the main group who cried about this, i'd say they cared very much.

but then again ResetEra is an absolute joke in the first place, i'd think you'd fit there perfectly my man.

Doesn't seem racist, unless you're under the notion that Native Americans never attacked anyone. Or using imagery that depicts braves doing warrior things is offensive.

Should we complain about Duck Hunt having cowboys shooting guns in his moveset?

Look at that. Slight design change, no longer insensitive, no effect on gameplay.

Sounds like this one's all wrapped--

Oh, I forget that there are people who will get counter-offended just for the sake of it. Sure hope they don't propagate racial and cultural stereotypes in the interest of "mah censorship".

Which is why it's ridiculous to whine over in the first place but hey, you know liberals, can't solve real problems gotta go create some then pat themselves for "solving" it.

G&W doesn't have that in previous games where he does the flame attack, right?

No. Ultimate is the first game to make changes to the character's face and model based on the attack in order to match how it looked in the original Game and Watch.

I mean, on one hand its such a trivial detail

On the other hand, it really is such a trivial detail.

I dont care either way. The value of not offending some small number of Native Americans is probably more than the value of having a feather on a video game characters head during the animation of one attack

It's about AUTHENTICITY. They need that feather so they it can be an AUTHENTIC representation of how Game and Watch was back in the 80s! How dare you speak out against TRADITION.

And so on...

The biggest problem with this is that it costs time and resources to make these changes. Time and resources that could have gone toward better causes.

I mean, how much time would it take to remove a minor detail from a model, really? Seems to me the animation for the smash attack is the same, just without the feather.

Did you know the Redskins are the most popular team among Native Americans?

Would you be referring to this poll?

If it's flawed, I question the validity of your argument in citing it.

All anyone can say is that there's no valid poll that captures whether Native Americans find the mascot of the Washington Redskins offensive. I don't need an alternative poll to say yours is bunk.

They werent going to buy it anyway. I just dont understand this trend of appeasing people that arent your customers to the detriment of people that are your customers.
