Title: Mario Party 8 Recalled
Post by: Sweenster on July 14, 2007, 01:07:26 AM
As title, mario party 8 has been recalled with very little information about the true nature of what is behind it, though rumours are flying

The official word

QuoteThe above game was launched in the UK today. Unfortunately we have discovered that a small number of games contain the wrong version of the disk due to an assembly error. We have therefore decided to recall all copies of the game from UK retailers so that this mistake can be corrected.

We will re-launch Mario Party 8 in the UK as soon as possible and will announce a new launch date shortly. We very much regret any inconvenience caused.

The rumour

QuoteNo, its not April 1st. No, Mario hasnt suddenly turned into a serial killer. Employees of UK retailer GAME are reporting an email sent around stores just before closing to remove Mario Party 8 and all applicable advertising due to the game having an "offensive" word, details of which can be seen in the screenshot below.
