Nintendo Sends Game to Journos With Racial Epithet Surprise

A copy of DS title Animal Crossing Wild World sent out to media yesterday by Nintendo came loaded with most of the game's secrets unlocked, it also included a nasty surprise.

When you come upon Baabara, the town's resident sheep, you're greeted with a racial epithet. The word is used repeatedly in your conversation with the sheep.

"I almost forgot about you, N--a" "So got any juicy gossip for me, N--a?" "Just thinking about it gets me all excited, N--a."
