Nintendo discriminates against Northerners

MCV writes about a recent Watchdog consumer rights programme in which the team condemn the Nintendo DS because, 'it discriminates against Northerners'. From the article:



Leading the morale crusade was Manchester-based DJ Michelle Livesey who stated: "Basically you have to say the different colours that flash up on the screen as quickly as possible. I'm saying, blue, blue, blue and it's saying no, even though it was blue.

"Then it got to yellow. I'm going, 'yeller' and everyone's saying to me you need to be a bit posher. You need to say, 'yellow' and as soon as I did, it picked it up."



Ok, localisation teams. Top priority.

Now someone should speak with the National Rail's Train Tracker people. I keep getting redirected from "Brighton" to "Lords".
