ohh boy here we go again.. and its not like its a NEW GAME..

why don't they just say we shouldn't be able to buy MARIO games cause it targets GOOMBAs and KOOPAs.

Or we shouldn't be able to play Wii Sports cause we have to HIT a ball.. in a violent almost REAL gesture, kinda like swinging the racket.. and don't get me started on WII BOXING.. now that should have these kinds of groups OUTRAGED!
