whats new in this version then?

No more offensive speech in it. ;D

No "spastic" anymore like in version 1.0.

 

[jonxs]

I seem to remember the PAL version getting recalled as the use of the word "Spastic" was in the game, most likely a new version without that

 

[AshuraZro]

Is spastic really considered that bad of a word?

Yes, read more about here!

 

[Jackreyes]

lol in what context was the word used?

 

[KrashLF]

In the game, designed to be played by groups at parties, a blue wizard called Kamek appears on screen and intones: "Magikoopa Magic! Turn the train spastic! Make this ticket tragic!"

funny NFO

 

[arctic_flame]

Another example of uptight politically correct twats.

"Version 1.1" should have proper widescreen support...it's the least they could have done. Not this "Find & Replace All" spastic query in the source files.


While we are recalling games, might as well recall shovelware titles and spend more than 2 weeks programming the game.

 

[StacMaster-S]

Uh, hello? You guys are forgetting the most important thing!

NOT BRAWL

 

[JohnoBoy]

Funny how groups find it proper to redump games that were recalled for language, catering to that "Blasphemy! The game I stole offended me!" crowd...

 

[eternity575]

youre all SPASTIcs!!!

 

[coolbho3000]

youre all SPASTIcs!!!

RECALL THIS MAN

Seriously release groups dump this stuff just for the sake of completion, same reason they dump shovelware, nobody's going to download it but it's dumped anyway.

it has to do with completeness. nothing more.

Gotta catch em allllllllll

I translated the word spastic in a lot of languages for the non-english-members of Gbatemp.net

I used Altavista

Dutch = spastisch
German = spastisch (correct me if i'm wrong)
French = spastique
Italian = spastico
Spanish = espástico
Russian = ???????????
Portugal = spastic (correct me if i'm wrong

)

This is useless but now i know the word for spastic in Spanish

, and i think i'm gonna call my friend El Espástico (it sounds like a funfair guy

, and he has a big mustache)

(I hope my words don't sounds offensive, sorry if it is offensive

)

Yeah right...

Ontopic:
What's so wrong about the word spastic? If Mario is called spastic by Hat then i'm angry but a train

?

 

[Flawsdraw]

so we get brawl released.... which i have to do the trucha crap for PAL which personally can't be bothered. then this lol, i remember getting a phone call from my local store asking for this back (had an account) took it back and ended up getting me wii chipped and having it for free lol but the word spastic isn't even used in an offensive way.

 

[Blacktear]

Actually, in portuguese it's espástico, wouldn't make much sense to be exactly the same as the english word when in spanish it's espástico also.
