Nintendo Won't Let You Call A Wii _Firearm_ A _Gun_

Published on January 01, 0001

From Hitler moustaches to “sweat” in Mortal Kombat, Nintendo have a long history of over-reacting to violence in video games. So it shouldn’t surprise you that, in 2009, you’re still not allowed to call a Wii peripheral a “gun”.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Speaking with Game Informer, Activision’s Jeff Muench has said that when branding and promoting the amazing peripheral for the w69 slot ทาง เข้า Wii version of Cabela’s Big Game Hunter 2010, the company were prevented by “some obscure Nintendo w69 slot ทาง เข้า regulations” yono all app from calling it a gun. https://kotaku.com/cabelas-gets-the-wii-light-gun-just-right-452584030 Instead, they had to call the large, gun-shaped peripheral made solely for use in a game where things are shot, yono all app a “firearm”. Which means exactly the same thing. Wonder why Nintendo went with “Zapper”, then, when they yono all app could have gone with “Wii Hand Cannon”?
