Gaming Zelda SS: porn words in one file o.O

[doombringer]

This is crazy
i have made a backup of my zelda SS original copy with usbloader, then i used wiiscrubber looking for some cool models and stages
and i've found this:

Lol this file is under: dvdroot/SKB/zi.arc/eZTNintendoENAM.znd (go to the end of the file with an hexeditor)
there are ita, spain, french porn language too o.O

and another one in zi.arc/eZTNintendoENAM.znd
have crazy words inside like: xevious, pikmin, pilotwings, nintendogs, famicom, snes

what the hell are this things?

Nah, its obviously a dev venting after 52h bugsearching in one go.

 

[DaRk_ViVi]

Post the picture of the italian part please. xD

 

[Depravo]

proberly words you cant use as name

That would be my guess too. It seems a little incomplete though...

 

[doombringer]

proberly words you cant use as name

For me no,
because the others languages have minor text and "other" meaning , so why take a list of bad language so "different" and different for each other?

example: american text have pus... the italian and spanish not, so this check is ridiculous

dog shit turtle isn't anywhere there, so it's safe!

 

[PolloDiablo]

I found amazing that the translators actually translated that inside joke!

This is nothing new, plenty of games have had word ban lists. Hackmii had a funny post about it where they looked at the word ban lists for some chinese made gaming console, and it had long lists of political terms, medical terms for anatomy, etc. (http://hackmii.com/2010/04/bad-words/ is the post in question)
It does seem a bit short though, but they had to draw the line somewhere - there are so many swear words you can't possibly ban every single one. Some games try (like the Hackmii post shows), but the cost of having someone work for hours just to come up with swear words to ban isn't really worth it. Especially as Zelda is single player, so there's actually no real point in having a word ban list at all.

doombringer: The ban list was probably rushed and different language versions were probably written by different people so they thought of different swear words. Also, words that are vulgar in one language might not be in another.

Yep, sounds familiar. Are you sure you're looking at the game and not the system menu in the update partition?

 

[estebangh]

Hey, you may be the right person... sorry being off topic but, is it possible to extract cinematics from a Wii game?

I'd like to see them again...

 

[DeMoN]

Since when is "freak" considered a bad word?

 

[Deleted User]

Weird that the staples,
fuck, cunt and shit are missing.

Hmm.

 

[yuyuyup]

I find it more chilling they banned abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz and a buncha dots

I AM JOKINGG

Has anyone actually tested those words? It would be funny to see that they didn't bother enabling the ban list. Almost as funny as enabling it and not adding the more obvious words. It's actually not hard to come up with a ban list. There's got to be a text file that has them all floating around somewhere on the WWW.

 

[giantpune]

your topic calls these "porn words" but you highlighted "shat". id like to know what type of porn youre looking at.

I always thought the znd files were used for the predictive text used in the OSK. Maybe one of them is the list of words it autocompletes, and one of them is a list of "banned" words?

I just tried starting a new save file with the name "tit" and it started up the game.

This makes me think of Halo 3. It had a level called "Assembly", but you couldn't use that name in a custom level because "Ass" was in it, lol.

 

[alphamule]

Ah, so it doesn't accidentally complete cuss words! But yeah, it still makes no sense that they didn't have a full list. Also, why not just store some kind of tree map. But I've never programmed autocomplete ala smart phones so what do I know?

 

[Hyro-Sama]

Nice. They censor "Coon" but not the N word.
