Nintendo bans Hitler from Mario Kart Wii online, lets Stalin and Osama slide

To keep in line with their austere "safe and fun" policy, Nintendo has banned the name Hitler from Mario Kart Wii's online services. If you attempt to access the Wi-Fi Connection with your Mii licence set as Hitler, you will receive a message stating that such nick names are forbidden and that you must modify your Mii name to proceed. On the other hand, those who connect to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection as other notorious gentlemen such as Stalin and Osama will be able to do so without a message/disconnect.

Rotflmfao thats jut funny sorry...

[Mystery_Person]

Yeah that was funny.

[jadenkorri]

osama and stalin aren't even in the same league as hitler, not that there is one...

[OOG]

this is true.....but under stalins reign more people died and it was mostly people of his own country.....so im sure russians wouldnt be happy with people running around with stalin.....but ya know....what evs

[Jdash24]

What are you talking about? Stalin massacred millions, and kept the cold war going, the only reason hitler seems to stand out is because he focused his killing and hatred on a single group of people.

[PlayStation360]

Hitler was one cold and crazy dude. No doubt about that. But they are others who surpassed him on death tolls and cruelty.

[JeepGamer]

You might want to check your history, Stalin had more people killed than Hitler ever did. He was a brutal, paranoid monster.

[mhr512]

Thats why they removed it. Since you can play worldwide there is a possibility that you could play someone in Germany.

This is so funny because my room mate said the first Mii he was going to use for online was his Hitler! LOL.

[Bigrhyno]

The first Mii I made after... me, was a Hitler with makeup on.

[BilI Gates]

Hitler was a good man. What's the problem?

[ScentlessApprentice7]

You are F'ed Up in the head bill. Seriously. Hitler was the devil on Earth. If you admire him, whatever. But he difinately wasn't anything to be proud of.

[PoSTedUP]

no. hitler was an evil man. thats the problem.

[Baba1906]

just horrible to say things like that. makes me really sad.

[Sayai jin]

Funny, because if you were not German with blue eyes and blonde hair you would not be here to say how great he was if the Nazis would have one the war. But you know how that turned out. The got their arses handed to them. I mean really, who is dumb enough to fight therussian on their own turf in the middle of winter. Anyway you probaly just said it to get attention so.....

[socsca]

Bill Gates: "Hey look at me! C'mon you guys, look look! Attention please, someone!!!!!!"

[Sayai jin]

What part of my statement was false. Come on have so gusto and leave a comment when you disagree or not and you will be little mosquito in my ear.

[RecSpec]

Meh, let them slide. The power sliding in this game isn't as good as the previous ones anyways.

[iamtehpwn]

Lawl. Silly nationalist. Pride is for kids =P

[f789790]

I'm going to create a group of terrorists now.

[DanteLinkX]

seen these nicknames racing online:

Sony, Microsoft, GearsofKart, Jackthompson, Chucky, ChuckNorris, Billgey, etc etc, among others funny enough, the microsoft user always lost below 4th place (it was a 10+ races)

[bootsielon]

A starving nation would believe anything from anyone that promises them food. Hitler probably never thought he was gonna be capable of the atrocities he made the germans comit. Hell he was given so much power by the germans, and people outside of germany paid little or no attention to him, that what Hitler did was unexpected until the germans finally felt they had the right to do anything. I guess that the fact that they thought that they could do anything lead to Hitler turn into what he did.

[InMyOpinion]

As history has repeatedly shown us, we never act until it's too late.

[Odiah]

I want to call myself Amin.

And everytime I come first I'll shout "Ammmmmmin the lead"

That was so bad.

[sumfood4u]
