I've been playing Star Fox 2 recently and it's actually very fun. It's a shame Nintendo didn't release it back in 1995 or whenever

So I've still been autistically obsessed with uploading every game ever made onto my NES Classic/Mini and finding the associated box art. There have been a couple out of these hundreds of games that would trigger snowflakes.

Many people are aware of this one. Look for the character towards the bottom of the pile.
Square's Tom Sawyer

Nankin's Adventure

Nazora Land 2

Nanking Adventure

That's not Nanking Adventure, that's Nankin's Adventure it has nothing to do with nationalist (later communist) China snowflake war propaganda. That's one snowflakey sneaky misleady, Joe.

That Tom Sawyer stuff is strange because another nigger have a normal anime face, not deformed mutant one. Maybe Square was trying to depict nigger-nigger racism or something.

Interesting. Never heard of this Nankin guy.
Honestly, Square probably just gave the little black character a comical face to fit his character. Like, nobody bats an eye if you draw one white character handsome and another white character like a goofy idiot.

Ahem...
Wikipedia wrote:The game was never localized outside Japan, and was noted by IGN as an example of racism in video games. In 2010, UGO ranked it as the #4 most racist video game in history. The portrayal of black people as blackfaced caricatures with huge lips has been noted about the game. In GameSpy's retrospective overview of the Famicom; Benjamin Turner and Christian Nutt's Square column concludes that "one of the most amusing Square games that didn't come [to the U.S.] was Square's Tom Sawyer, an RPG starring the happy-go-lucky boy wonder that featured a...racially insensitive...character."

Still pretty cool cover art. Has a Nadia kinda vibe to it.

Ah, ok. The screenshot says the character is named Jim. So I take it that it must be Nigger Jim from the book.

I mean.... The Japanese probably drew the character design a little bit too literally when they saw the name.
