Take 2 Regrets Caucasian-Only Character Options In 'Carnival Games'

MTV Multiplayer's Tracey John writes:

"Earlier this year, I complained about the lack of skin color choices for the Wii title "Carnival Games."

I was bothered that a casual, family-oriented game didn't include any skin tones other than pale, Caucasian ones for its character customization.

2K Play marketing director Christina Recchio admitted the exclusion of a skin color palette was a problem. "We knew it should've been in the first one," she said. "Unfortunately by the time it had gone to manufacturing, it was something that couldn't be changed in the original product. But when we were developing for the DS, it was the first thing that we put in there because we knew we needed a larger variety."

But how could such a thing happen in the first place?"
