The commercial for the Wii release Just Dance 2014, which appears to include the N-word, has shocked scores of telly viewers.
Tracks by acts including One Direction and Lady Gaga are on the game, which is aimed at the teen market.
But marketing execs picked Nicki Minaj’s track Starships for the publicity campaign, which has been running for almost a fortnight and is shown in slots before the 9pm watershed.
The short clip includes the lyric “My name is Onika, you can call me Nicki” which is said quickly.
When rapped by the singer, she appears to say the word “n****r”.

Ubisoft and the Electronic Sports World Cup (ESWC) today announced the list of qualified Just Dance players for the World Finals at Paris Games Week (October 30 to November 1, 2014).
These Xbox One games are pretty average, but will be well worth a purchase once they hit the bargain bins. Next to each game is its Metacritic score, for those who care about such things.
This is the dumbest article in in recent days.
About 70% of the games in the article are Multi-Plats...
smh...People will ride the Xbox hate train for they're 15minutes of fame...
Okay we get it you want nothing to do with a platform you end up fucking advertising anyways, N4G.
Let the obvious truth sink in, War Whales, you are free advertisement drones for every platform you "rise against".
Mediocre platform + mediocre games. The only people who buy Xbox are those who are buying out of some misguided loyalty...and Halo fanbois. Everyone else buys a PS4 or games on PC.
Pretty big oversight by Nintendo and Ubisoft if its even true.
And it's the only White Console on the market this gen. lol
The n word is not really offensive anymore so i don't see what the big deal is.
I have never understood the (N) term. I know its derogative origins but I don't understand why it is still accepted in popular culture within the black community when it isn't widely accepted with other communities (even by the black community when other communities use it) . People can't have it both ways. I don't say it (being white) because it is an insult. Same with saying "that is gay" (being straight). It isn't right.
