Nintendo s New Super Mario Bros Game amp Watch Will Ship With A Language Error
Nintendo's New Super Mario Bros. Game & Watch Will Ship With A Language Error Nintendo Life Nintendo apologises for the mistake by Share: Image: Nintendo This Friday, a in celebration of Super Mario's 35th anniversary. It's a pretty exciting launch for collectors and fans of Nintendo's history, but the company has today apologised for an error that will be present on all systems. As you may know, the system includes a digital clock which features 35 'little touches' for owners to discover. One of these is a 'Mario Drawing' song that, while vocalised in English, also displays lyrics in a number of different languages. Somehow, the languages have been mixed up somewhere in development. Here's Nintendo's statement: "We would like to inform you about an error with one of the digital clock’s 35 little touches in the Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. system. Unfortunately, the ‘Mario Drawing’ song (vocalised in English only) that can be accessed by holding the A button, displays an incorrect language’s set of lyrics if German, French, Italian or Spanish is selected from the title screen. English, Dutch and Japanese languages remain unaffected." When you do get your hands on the system later this week, then, you'll have to choose a different language to the one you actually want if your chosen language has been affected. The table below shows which language will be shown depending on which one you select. Chosen language in title screen Language of song lyrics to be shown French German Spanish French German Italian Italian Spanish Nintendo goes on to promise that the launch of the system will still take place this Friday: "The system launch is not affected. Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. will launch on November 13th as planned. We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused." Mamma mia! Still, there is some hope. Hacker has pulled the system apart to see what makes it tick, and is hopeful that this issue can be fixed by fans, rather than Nintendo itself.

He’d much rather just have a night in with Mario Kart and a pizza, and we can’t say we blame him. Comments ) Not racist at all. At least by calling the touches 'little' they are trying to stop disappointment. If this had 35 classic G&W games built in, I would have preordered. WTF? It really isn't racist at all. What a weird post. Showing german lyrics when choosing french, exactly my kind of humor Nintendo about foreign languages : "please understand". The biggest inconvenience is that I haven't been able to preorder it. Quite the QA failure there, but I guess that might happen if Japanese(?) developers don't know what German, French, Italian, or Spanish sound like. It's like a bonus puzzle game. You need to figure out which language to select to get the one that you want. It also causes exposure to foreign languages, which is mind-expanding. Educational chaos... I'm all for it! Dutch is oke! No problems here. This will make it even more collectible This will be a good one to get, surely it’ll increase its value? "Official Nintendo Seal of Quality" (TM) This, after Furukawa was head of Nintendo Europe. Not cool. I am not accusing you or anyone else here of double standards. I would just like to point out that, if a Western developer like Microsoft had swapped Korean, Chinese, Japanese and Tagalog, someone would come along and cry, "Racists!!!!1!". Well this is kind of bad on Nintendo's part.... I mean, not game breaking, but certainly not something you'd expect from them. Update to come via USB and CFW hack To be fair, to confuse Languages of the same Family is fine, when you don't know the specific "touches" they have. For example spanish and italian:
Yo me llamo Azuris, como estas?
Io mi chiamo Azuris, come stai? And german and english.
My Name is Azuris, hold my Beer.
Mein Name ist Azuris, halt mein Bier. But i think in this case they just jumped a Line
In this case they're dealing with vocalised lines, so listening to them it should be fairly apparently which language is which through accents and inflections. What I'm saying is these are western languages and we're more used to hearing them, the same way we westerners might struggle to differentiate some eastern or Asian languages. my thoughts exactly! It’s always vocalised in English. It’s the subbed text they’re dealing with. This is a very peculiar mishaps. I wonder if they will be doing a second run of these at all with this bug fixed?
My mistake, despite reading the article I misunderstood. Best console that been released this week (and probably still has less faults) Old school console made with a 2020 mindset, i.e. no quality control, we'll fix it with a day-1 patch. Except this time, they can't! If I was planning to get this it wouldn't affect me directly, but it would always bug me knowing there was something wrong with it, even if it was a feature I didn't use. pretty sure french, german and spanish isnt a "race" Pretty ignorant some people don’t understand sarcasm if they continue to produce these until March the chances are this will get corrected so the earlier version will definitely be worth more it's not so obvious if the guy is being sarcastic and pure speculation on your part
Its almost like you cant hear tone of someones voice on internet, shocker I know! let’s ask him and see who’s right how do we know it’s a guy? We can’t hear their voice on the internet you know ? I guess it's OK for Italians, just imagine it is Argentinian Spanish and you will feel more at home Perhaps a good old database mismatch? It happens I'm in the States and finally gave in and preordered from the U.K. Amazon site. I'm tired of having these things release at some random time on a weekday and get sold out in two hours. LOL yet another surprise you get for the usual "reasonable" price, huh? Wonder how it happened.
Looks like every language got moved 'one space over', French into German into Italian into Spanish into French. If someone was preparing say, a Spanish translation and there was a French song in the middle of Spanish lines, that should've been obvious, so... is this song is the only translated text in the Game & Watch? "Language settings can only be selected for the ‘Mario Drawing’ song."
Sounds like it might be. If they fix this in a second batch (if there'll be one), this first one might be extra valuable for collectors in the future. Future collectors item , it just amazes me that they let that happen . It makes no difference really to me but who signed it off as checked when There was this error ? I was about to write the same thing It's not a bug, it's a feature. I wonder if it’s even releasing in US this week. Preorders have never gone up because the unit is still awaiting FCC approval. What the heck has NOA been doing? Ha! and they can't patch it on day one (like most games nowadays) This will make it even more collectible Not if they are all the same. indeed such a sigh of relief. That's a pretty amateur mistake. How pathetic... I'm still hoping that when folks start getting their hands on this they find a way to load more games on it and via the USB C port would be amazing. Fingers crossed as it would make quite the little emulation machine even if it's just NES games. see my second comment Guess we can call it a "multi cultural easter egg" I guess this is going to become a rare collectors item once they start to ship a revised version down the line. So why did you say he as well? Lmao That thing really does look good but SMB1? After playing SMB 35 on the switch extensively, I feel like that was the games swan song. It was a fun take. A Pokemon game and watch could be interesting. this "issue" may be a useful tool to help me learn additional languages...lol Nintendo needs better quality control. Sheesh. They are i talked to my local gamestop about them. They are getting some in but they didn't say how many they are going to be in stock hope this helps!! Yes, we zouden ze allemaal teruggestuurd hebben;) I preordered this and other day my Mrs saw an advert for this and said “well that’s something we definitely don’t need”........ She really doesn’t know me. fortunately the size means it can live incognito in your household for many years before she spots it So it's coming out, but is there any way to preorder it yet?! Happy Friday the 13th! Interesting. I guess there just won’t be any preorders? Thanks for the info! Right atleast we won't have bot scaplers getting a hold of them It sounds quite minor as long as they make that table easy to access. Bit disapointing from Nintendo though. i might have to do the same or hope I see some in target thank you I thought they were sold out. Lol Hopefully they'll indicate it can be patched via the USB cable - which might then mean there's the capability for some clever people to work out how to play around and change the content on it. I wonder if the value of these will go up as eBay sellers claim..."RARE!!! ERROR UNIT WITH LANGUAGE MISMATCH!!!!" I'm sure someone would, but that someone would be deluded, not to be taken seriously. However, for a me it's not a big deal, I'll just have a to remember to select German (or better, I'll just choose English since I don't need a translation ).
