BBC3's recent Outrageous Fortunes has been spreading Outrageous lies according to Nintendo.

BBC3 have been doing a series of programmes called 'Outrageous Fortunes' which focus on big-money companies and the scandals behind them. On Monday they portrayed Nintendo, and they weren't happy over some claims.

According to the programme Nintendo have been knowingly included "seizure-inducing content" in their games.

Nintendo denied this allegation and issued a statement. 'The notion that Nintendo would knowingly include in its games material that it knew could cause seizures is ridiculous. There is nothing more important to us than the health and wellbeing of our players." The spokesperson continued speaking about the matter: "We began including a warning about seizures with our games in the UK in 1993. We were the first videogame company to provide such warnings."

The programme however stated that Nintendo have denied to provide vital information during court cases twice. The cases were ones where parents have sued Nintendo over problems Nintendo's games have caused to their children.

BBC3 also tested several of recent Nintendo games and states they would not pass the Independent Television Commission's guidelines for television broadcasts regarding flashing images.
