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

48
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.

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.

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

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

2.5 - German laws prohibit Nazi references
Thats why they removed it. Since you can play worldwide there is a possibility that you could play someone in Germany.

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.....

When is safe ever fun?
Anyways that's just wrong, Hitler could be someone's name and it's now banned. It's disgraceful. Also Hitler targeted several groups & yes Stalin was wors(both terribly evil people though). Who cares about Osama? he was a nothing in life and should be completely ignored in death.

Wait, so it's normal to have miis modeled after Hitler?

I thought I might be a little odd because the first mii I created was hitler. I hate antisemitism I just did it to see if it was possible.

Has anyone else had friends come over only to look at you like you're evil for having him as a mii?

That doesn't make any sense. Stalin did more damage than Hitler in terms of pure numbers. Hypocrisy at it's finest.

Hitler's name stand out more from history books/classes and the damage he created. Anyways Hitler was already in a game (Hitler's revival -> Bionic Commando for the US as Master D) and I enjoyed killing him every chance I got :D

Seriously though I'd say ban all that BS to make it fair for everyone else, and remind people that kind of behavior isn't tolerated or supports any type of terrorism/genocide.

well they all did evil things but they did it to better there country.

Hitler revolutionized germany and could of been a great allie if he was not hell bent on genocide

stalin was admierd by millions and was a largest part of the soviet union beside karl marx and Vladimir Lenin

mao zedong killed more than stalin and hitler put together but again if it was not for him china would not be were they are today, part of that was down to the ussr and stalin

Hey, what's wrong with Osama?
Osama is a name of millions of people, not just Osama Bin Laden.
It's foolishness to say that indeed.
