Unbeknownst to Nintendo, Baabara's catchphrase was tampered with; what should have been "daahling" was "Ñ****á", a [[wikipedia:Racial slur|racial slur]]. The slur was modified, likely to bypass the game's profanity filter, which prevents players from setting catchphrases and greetings to anything deemed inappropriate. Additionally, her greeting was changed to ''♥ u long time!!'', a quote from the film ''Full Metal Jacket'' that is used in a sexual context. Nintendo responded by issuing an apology to the media and recalling all offending copies of the game from the press, explaining that the game's Wi-Fi features (which allow catchphrases to be spread) were to blame.<ref>{{Cite web|author=GameSpot Staff|date=December 3, 2008|url=https://www.gamespot.com/news/6201893.html|title=N-word used in Animal Crossing PR gaffe|site=GameSpot}}</ref> |
