Nintendo are total chickens. This game is a great idea.

Erm, so the game hasn't been signed anywhere?

There are millions of shit games that don't get signed. Is this news?
Has games PR sunk so low as to play the Holocaust card to get everyone asking Nintendo why this game hasn't been signed? Maybe it is just crap.

This is the type of game that should come out in Europe, surely?

Yes, I sincerely believe it should be published. To show that games can (and in fact, should) tackle sensitive topics. We shoot nazis all the time (going all the way back to Castle Wolfenstein, one of the first FPS ever), we play as them sometimes (Secret Weapons of Luftwaffe, anyone?), we should be able to handle WWII maturely, too.

Funny (and sad), how people don't give a fecal about having nazis in fun games, but suddenly it's a problem when the game tries to gain a more serious take.

Release it as homebrew. touchy subjects like this should not involve money anyway.

Blame the fuckwit media, they're the reason. Imagine what the Daily Mail would have to say, probably:

"This games allows the player to brutally slay 1.5 million CHILDREN! Within minutes of turning on your 'DS Nintendo' 1.2 million Jewish children as well as thousands of helpless disabled children are dead! Also some gypsy children die, but they would have only grown up into thieves anyway so, meh..."

Surely the daily mail will only take the opportunity to once again say sorry for supporting the Nazi's in the 1930's?

I really hope you didn't just refer to the holocaust as "just a really bad misunderstanding".

Sounds like Pans Labyrinth to me too.
