Nintendo Pledges to Remove Controversial Native American Reference in Smash Bros. Ultimate
Nintendo plans to remove a controversial Native American reference from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Mr. Game & Watch character.

It's a callback to the 1982 game Fire Attack, in which players controlled a cowboy who had to defend a wooden fort from Native Americans attempting to set it on fire.
"Nintendo has been planning to distribute an update for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate that removes the feather from the silhouette of Mr. Game & Watch," a Nintendo spokesperson told Eurogamer.
