Mario Party 8 finally reached stores in the UK... then gets recalled...

Mario Party 8 has been delayed in the UK until an unspecified date.

Due to an assembly error, a small number of games sent to the stores contained the "wrong version" of Mario Party 8, so Nintendo have recalled all copies of the game. Nintendo have promised that they will correct the mistake as soon as possible. No date has been given on when we should expect Mario Party 8.

Reports suggest that the "wrong version" of the game contains the word "spastic". In British English, "spastic" is a politically incorrect, and an abusive term, for an ungainly or physically inept person; whereas the word is inoffensive in American English. This is also suggested to be the cause of the original delay of the game.
