Yeah, I think we saw this coming. They will deny in any way, even if it is put on WiiWare.

Nintendo of Europe doesn't want it either.

Which is kind of a shame, the game looked like fun. Even with historical facts.

I don't see this game coming out in Japan either.

Is that surprising to anyone?

Not really, if anything a lot of people would be offended by the game in just the name alone. Not to mention it, but it will involve the Anti-Christ and Racism.

Yeah, I don't see why they would make that game.

It would have to be a M rating. Plus, the whole story about the Holocaust isn't something to be "having fun with"

Such a surprise, because we all want to commit genocide and Nintendo wants that on their name. ?_?

Yay for sensationalism. Note how they say 'at this time'. Considering the game has barley started the alpha stages, not surprising.

The game's only in the concept stage:

Jumping to conclusions, when that statement from Nintendo could have just easily have meant that the dev hasn't approached them yet, which is confirmed to be the case.

Please tell me it will be released in Europe.  I'd like to import that.

It's about a French boy who escapes the horrors of then Holocaust and German occupation through his imagination.

The funny thing is that all of the regions that this game could be released in would object to it.

some websites say it's still coming while others say it's been canned, I don't know what to believe.
