Nintendo nipples on Kid Icarus
09 Nov 07 Filed in:Zwinky

Over at Siliconera, I was engrossed by an article on a Nintendo nipple oversight. Shock horror, in Kid Icarus there is a Syren with no top on.
The article is a bit gamer nerdy (ie way over my head) but the comments are heated and well worth a read.
My opinion, for what it's worth
Run for the censors, people, this could corrupt the minds of millions and ruin the right hand action of millions of impressionable gamers.
On the plus side, it could be quite educational for the mal-educated and sheltered. A bit like the phenomenon of city center kids who think milk comes from bottles, not cows, this Nintendo oversight could quash myths about what a nipple is. ie it isn't a heinous blurred out body part exclusive to physical freaks like Janet Jackson. Everyone, digital or real, has them.
(Your mileage may vary, of course! If your name is Scaramanca, the man with the golden gun, you have 3 nips, and if your name is Ed you had one of yours ripped out by a doctor at birth.)
