Please check and spread the below thread from ResetEra. Mr. Game & Watch's new forward smash in Smash Ultimate is a direct reference to a G&W game featuring racist depictions of Native Americans.
I'm Native, and this hurts. Can you help?

Just a follow-up here, linked below is an imgur album featuring more screenshots of Mr. G&W's new forward smash, and also screens of a Spirit based on the same Game & Watch game "Fire Attack."
Check this out if you haven't, thanks.

During Nintendo's Japanese livestream, one of Mr. Game & Watch's attacks was shown off. It was referencing offensive depiction of Native Americans.
We reached out for Nintendo for an statement. The feather will be removed from Mr. Game & Watch's attack.

Oh my God. Thank you. Thank you so much, not only on my behalf— but thank you for helping spread this on behalf of the Native community. It means the world.

Absolutely heartbreaking. To think that people are getting upset over something this insignificant.
Must be nice to have no greater problems than a video game man with a feather on his head.
Wait, is Mr Game and Watch technically black? Oh wait, I don't care and nor should you.

I'm native and I don't care. Does my opinion count?

Not really, but you’re entitled to your own opinion.
Seriously, it just a game. If don't like it then play something else. Not causing any real harm.

SJWs these days will pick on anything that even remotely "disagrees" with them. I fail to see what's so racist about the G&W game in question, and even if it was, it's a goddamn G&W game, no one playing it thought anything of it, and no one playing SSBU will think much of this.
