Nintendo confirms to UK industry publication that the offensive word has been removed; party game to launch in early August...
Nintendo has today confirmed to UK industry publication MCV that Mario Party 8 will re-launch across the country from August 3rd. A nationwide recall of the game had taken place within hours of it going on sale, after the word 'spastic' was used by a character following a poor player's performance.
Speaking to MCV, Nintendo UK representatives said: "We are confident we have taken the correct appropriate levels and action necessary and in all new versions of the game there are no issues - however we cannot 100 per cent guarantee that every copy of the initial batch was returned to us and as such there may still be a small number of copies of the game in circulation."
Mario Party 8 is the first instalment in the long-running series released on Wii, and had originally launched across Europe on July 13th.
