Prior to the game's release, Nintendo released a demo version of the title called "Splatoon: Global Testfire".  The title screen for this release featured text in the bottom right corner that was written in the language used by the characters in-game. However, the text looks very similar to that of the English language, and it appears to read the word "Nigga" or "Niggr". This screen was changed in the final release to an entirely different image. It is not known whether this change was always intended or  whether it was made to remove the offending text.




please note: the above image is taken from a showfloor of a press event, as the text is covered by a pre-order notice in the version released to home consoles.
