I´ve played RedCard 2003 (Gamecube; soccer) and unlocked a number of fantasy teams:
Australia - Dolphins
USA - Soldiers
Japan - Samurai
Nigeria - Apes
You can guess which one I found very shocking. Different times...
However, I do not think the developers at Midway had bad intentions. In my view, people who make this association have a problem. All nationalities have the same genetic distance with regards to other apes (arguably humans are also apes).
