Take 2 admits "Carnival Games" is looking a little pink, claims it was an oversight (News)

Aug 23, 2008

Console Central writes: "Take 2 have admitted that 'Carnival Games' for the Nintendo Wii doesn't offer much choice in the way of skin colour, but are promising to fix that for the sequel to the game stating that it was a complete oversight.

2K Play marketing director Christina Recchio admitted the exclusion of a skin color palette was a problem. "We knew it should've been in the first one," she said. "Unfortunately by the time it had gone to manufacturing, it was something that couldn't be changed in the original product.

But how could such a thing happen in the first place?"
