Nintendo To Change The Japanese Name Of Spike In Mario Movie; Here’s Why
Nintendo has announced that it will be changing the Japanese name of the foreman named Spike in the Super Mario Bros. Movie in the Japanese version of the film.
See, Spike was an enemy in the NES game Wrecking Crew back in 1985. His Japanese name? It’s Blackie. Anyone can tell you that this old name could lead to people using it as a racial slur.
So Nintendo of Japan has changed his name according to a recent Twitter post.
“The name of the character Blackie, who appears in the Family Computer software Wrecking Crew, will be changed to Spike, which is the same as the name in Europe and the United States.”
