Okay, in DK64, "hell" was used in Chunky's portion of the Monkey Rap and the game still got away with an E Rating.

In Melee, "hell" was changed to "heck" despite the fact that Melee had a T Rating. What gives?
 
I swear that thing you said in the first post happened before, but I can't remember which games... :O
 
I heard about this before. But besides, Melee was rated T for the same reason Brawl was rated T. But I don't think a game should change its' rating just for one light use of a "bad word" that isn't even a bad word. The word's in the Bible too.

Kinda, but not really.

Melee was T because there was no better rating (I seriously believe it would've been E10+ if they had that rating back then).
Brawl was T because Samus took her clothes off, and also possibly because of Snake.

In the Bible, Hell was used to refer to the underworld that was controlled by Satan (or something like that), and not as a swear word.

Now let's steer away from here before this becomes a religious discussion.

Aaand ninja'd.

That's true, the word has evolved to be used other ways since then. But yeah, I don't mean to get too much into religion, but the fact that it's in the Bible doesn't really constitute it as a bad word. I never viewed it as such.

Samus didn't really "take her clothes off", she just got out of her power suit. But yeah, Snake probably did it.
 
Okay, Hell isn't a "bad word", it's a place that is the opposite of the heaven, that's all.

I can imagine what would Minnie. T's post in this topic be...


And per Magikrazy.

Also, what did Snake do that got Brawl rated T?

He comes from a game that's rated M. And his weapons consist of many different types of guns.

That's how I always viewed it.
