Nintendo have banned the use of any Miis named Hitler from Mario Kart Wii's online mode.
According to GoNintendo, anyone trying to enter a race using a Mii with the name, will see this screen;
This is mainly because of possible offense being caused to others whilst playing, although it isn't clear if this rule has been applied to any other online Mii uses, such as the Mii Contest Channel.
A sensible move, or another unneeded bit of censorship? Have your say below.

Link / SuperLink9So have Nintendo banned swearwords yet? I really think that banning swearwords/addresses would make friend codes completely unecessesary.( Edited 17.05.2008 12:42 by SuperLink )

Good point. That is pretty stupid. Nintendo obviously didn't think this through.

Yeah, but I guess it can't be helped. I would be hard to filter a Mii through appearance. Not everyone called Hitler looks like Adolf Hitler obviously, but there isn't a way to censor that.
I doubt it stops "Adolf".

People might still have the surname Hitler, but they probably don't use it as their genuine Mii name, most people use nicknames or their first name.

Anyway there is a warning the first time you start mario kart about using your real name on wi-fi.
