Hackers are causing pornographic images to show up in Super Mario Odyssey's Balloon World mode

Although Nintendo has been taking extensive measures against hackers on Nintendo Switch lately, it seems like they haven’t gotten everything under control yet.

[ObviousGoldfish]

Super Mari - oh oh oh

[Skull521]

Nice to see Nintendo making games for adults for once.

[strayanalog]

The magic of the internet strikes again.

[getbacktogaming]

This is kind of sad... I would have thought this game would be safe for kids

[Cobra951]

The game, yes. The internet, no.

[CDbiggen]

Nope. Plenty of sick fucks out there unfortunately.

[getbacktogaming]

@Cobtas951... Right I guess that's a pretty strong case for keeping my Switch offline.

[DJ_Professor_K]

It’s very sad and disagreeing won’t make it right internet lames when is it ever in any format cool or acceptable to subject kids to Pornographic images each one of you need to be subjected to a punch in the face....let’s disagree guys it’s so kool we’re cool right 👍

[DJ_Professor_K]

Instead of worrying about cross play Nintendo should be thinking about better ways to protect the kids and families that play and trust their games

[S2Killinit]

Its fairy dust magic oh noo its glitter

[Xb1ps4]

Wow... then people complaine when they get slapped with drm..

[BlackTar187]

Cause that's the only fix? Lol smh

[Xb1ps4]

Well I would prefer real devolpers and resources to be used towards advancing the gaming industry rather than wasting time money and resources on trying to out clever ridiculous things like this..

At some point you have to grow up and realize that hacking porn into a mario game is childish and I’m willing to bet it’s not little children doing this..

> Well I would prefer real devolpers and resources to be used towards advancing the gaming industry rather than wasting time money and resources on trying to out clever ridiculous things like this.

It's about protecting image and brand. You really think it goes down well when soccer moms hear their nintendo console is promoting porn to children?

This isn't even comparable to DRM. DRM punishes paying people. Inserting 18+ imagery into a game that is rated E is on a completely different level.

>At some point you have to grow up and realize that hacking porn into a mario game is childish and I’m willing to bet it’s not little children doing this..

Way to miss the point chicken nugget.

[Xb1ps4]

@chickey

It’s only to protect image and brand? And how about from getting sued as well by soccer moms that have nothing else to do...

Yes it punishes paying customers like my self, it’s called coniquences.. no matter how comparable you feel it isnt at the end of the day life isn’t fair to everyone, so how about hackers just stop the shit?

At worst.... if your life depends on hacking, why not hack into the game something positive.. might get lucky with a job or something.. when you have to put just as much energy into protecting your ip as it took to making the ip then who’s really winning? And for what?

[BlackTar187]

There's other ways then jumping in to DRM.

[Xb1ps4]

I’m sure there is... then hackers will figure out a way to hack that and the cycle continues.. it’s no different than punishing a child... child acts up so you take away say 2 or 3 hrs out of his game time for the week... but guess what the child just keeps on doing it.. so now you take it away all together and all the sudden the child is singing I will behave..

This is nothing new bro.. it’s not like devs and publishers haven’t been handling it the way you prefer but at what point enough is enough?!

[Kerplunk80]

Drm is useless it's always cracked

[slate91]

Pretty sad man. Kids play these games. Dont need to be exposed to that

[Fist4achin]

Yeah that does suck, but the internet is so rife with porn or practically porn images it is difficult to cut out the exposure. Just have to keep an eye out and explain...

[slate91]

Definitely is. Just sucks that a game rated E (Im assuming) gets infected with this stuff :(

[Teflon02]

Sites have porn pop up's and crap. Personally that would be the least of my worries. Personally I'd be more afraid of what they may show in the future. My kid gets exposed to ass and tits, whatever. But I'm not going to be alright to find out my child is having nightmares because they saw a beheading video in a game because it got hacked. Not necessarily Nintendo's fault. But this is stuff they can learn from now. Don't make these games have online modes. People are entertained abiut making trouble with games like that

[DJ_Professor_K]

We are talking about a MARIO game hackers have the whole internet to play with leave kid games out of it

[subtenko]

@Teflon02 Hopefully you have a plan too let your fam know about what goes on in the world that would be useful a.k.a. self defense and not have to cover because they grew up cowering over scary stuff

[PurpHerbison]

And it probably doesn't even phase them.

[slate91]

LOL thats so wrong

[Fist4achin]

Would Mario in the tanooki suit classify him as a furry?!

[Akarogg]

Nice assumption

[Drithe]

Because large bouncing boobs are evil.

[slate91]

Eh, oversexualizing our children has created a lot of psychological issues and confusion in Millenials/ gen z today. But thats a whole other discussion.

[No Way]

No, it's that tits and ass are forbidden Mothers can't even breastfeed in public. Porn/nudity is a big no-no in the states, for some reason.

[DJ_Professor_K]

Look at all the disagrees bet none of them would put that they disagree with kids being subjected to porn that they didn’t think it was a problem on social media bunch of internet cowards did we interrupt your day at the children’s park

[No Way]

The more they know when they are younger - the better off they will (likely) be. Instead of hitting 15 and it being taboo, it'll be just another part of life. Theirs fucking on Animal Planet; animals get it on everywhere. We are all humans - it shouldn't be so forbidden, anyway. Many countries in Europe have naked statues around, what's the difference? We should stop hiding things from children, they are eventually gonna find out anyway.

[PurpHerbison]

Hide things from your children and they hide things from you. Pops never knew I had access to his porno mags growing up or the VHS collection. Hide it from me, I'll hide it from you. Cycle continues.

[G3ng4r]

New balloon types?

[Relientk77]

If you find them all you get a moon lol

[lociefer]

And they wonder how kids grow up so fast

[Akarogg]

They don't

[1-pwnsause-1]

well i guess thats why nintendo tries to go all archaic with online gaming, because people cant F**k*n behave.......

[Kerplunk80]

Cry me a river with those salty tears baby.

[OffRoadKing]

Good thing this isn't happening to a game on Playstation, the "outrage" here would be insane.

[Rachel_Alucard]

Can't tell if you're joking but it already does happen all the time, just nobody cares enough about it.

[OffRoadKing]

"All the time", really? Please show me proof of all these times when hackers caused pornographic images to show up in Playstation games.

"nobody cares enough", yeah right, you must be new here.

[Rachel_Alucard]

@Tomato
@Offroad

No need for a game when it's right there on the system. You never thought about how random people can add you to a message group, even if you block them and send picture messages right there? What about the communities system that any child can join? What about Littlebig planet with custom images, sounds, etc. and filled with little kids?

[Doge]

That's because Sony does a good job at "keeping children from being exposed to external influences" ;)

[Kribwalker]

won’t somebody please think of the children

[Sniperwithacause]

No pictures , no proof!

[KwietStorm_BLM]

lolwut

[chris235]

nice that finally someone is showing the finger to them

[SkippyPaccino]

Luigis nose & camel toe was pornographique enough...

[RadicalCannibal]

Sorry, was I not supposed to laugh at this? But seriously disgusting though, it’s a kids game ffs.

[Einhander1971]

Some little sad individuals who still live with mummy, who have nothing better to do i expect.

[MrVux000]

[nommers]

It’s a me! Mari....a.

[bluefox755]

Lol

[pinkystinkinc]

quality family time

[Akarogg]

Disgusting. Reported

[trooper_]

That's absolutely disgusting.

[l33t_haxx0r]

I am glad to see people sticking it to the evil corporations. Keep up the good work!

[DJ_Professor_K]

They need to find them and give them hard jail time if they are smart enough to hack they are smart enough to know that a lot of children will be playing this game. If it was cyber punk or a adult base game it might be seen as funny but not games where kids play

[subtenko]

Bring this to crossplatform plat #XboxWantsBallonWorld #DontBeLikeSony !

[xX1NORM1Xx]

fucking idiots, hope their consoles get banned

[DrumBeat]

Mamma Mia!

[Parasyte]

This is why we can't have nice things.

[Enigma_2099]

You argue that hacking the system will lead to good things... and then THIS is is the result?

[MasterChief3624]

This kind of stuff just pisses me off. For some reason, it really irks me when people try to take advantage of services that kids use for nefarious purposes. I think back when I was 12 or 13 this would have been funny, I'll admit. But now at my ripe, old age of 27 I understand the need for preserving innocence, and this kind of stuff infuriates me.
