Zack & Wiki censored

Don't worry, it's not a big deal. It's not as if they removed the fatalities* from Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure. Capcom, responding to complaints from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, removed a short sound sample from the game, because it contained the phrase "Allahu akbar," which means "God is the greatest."

We'd love to understand the thinking that led to religious speech being included in the soundtrack to the children's pirate adventure game. We're sure it was just included to give the game an "exotic" feeling. We're glad Capcom removed the offending sample, else they could have pulled a Kakuto Chojin-- by which we mean "get recalled because of inappropriate Islam-related sound samples," not "be a crappy fighting game."

*There aren't any, we're pretty sure.
