Forums - Nintendo - Mario: Give Peace a chance

Seems like Nintendo removed the "Peace sign" from Mario's victory posse.

It's understandable that some people would be offended by the fact that you can play as the Taliban in the new Medal of Honor game. It's also kind of understandable that certain people would be disapproving of sex scenes in Mass Effect. But have we reached the point in America where Nintendo has to remove a simple peace sign because that is too controversial for far right wingers to tolerate? Would Mario flashing a peace sign in today's super politicized world be enough for fringe conservative parents to deny their children the right to play a Super Mario title?

Honestly I hadn't even noticed the sign removed from mario race way.

Peace sign?



its true meaning actually the sign of victory not peace, which is STILL not offensive! (well thats what we used when we won the gulf war in kuwait)

Can't stand Kombo.  They take something Nintendo already talked about years ago and make a silly unrelated editorial about it.

Nintendo took out the peace sign because they felt the symbol was aimed at the young kids too much.    And they did this back in 2000.

Lol whut? Some Americans are weird.

You've just became threat to US and the democracy



I could understood it if Mario smoked a cigar, warned about Bowser's fascist expansionist tenancies or talked about an 'iron curtain' dividing the Mushroom Kingdom, but is the two fingered peace sign really too much Winston Churchill for some people to take?
