It's a stupid name and most people will probably not even realize what it's refering to, so they actually should change it. It means "small pox" in Dutch as well.

Because they don't call their games smallpox tournament? Ok?

One has to wonder why you're only just now posting this. It was announced 3 months ago. I bet you're doing it to troll Nintendo.
