Nintendo is famously protective of its ‘family values’.  From green blood in SNES games during the 90s to Miis called Hitler being banned from Mario Kart Wii this year, they’re always keen to be as inoffensive as possible.

Well, maybe they need to step up their game.  As you can see in the pictures here, someone is playing Mario Kart Wii as Hitler, getting round the ban by calling himself ‘Adolf’.  There’s no doubting the Mii’s resemblance to a certain 20th century dictator.  I stumbled upon him while playing online yesterday.

While it won’t bother many people it’s obvious that some, especially in Germany, could be mighty annoyed at his appearance.  Quite what Nintendo can do to monitor things like this I don’t know.  Banning the name ‘Hitler’ is one thing, scanning all the Miis online for ones that resemble him is another.

It just goes to show, it’s a wild world out there online and not even Nintendo can protect you!
