    I’m not really blaming the people, but it’s just their accent that causes the problem.

  2. clairyprincess says:

    It doesn’t understand me when I say ‘blue’! I tried ‘bloooo’ and still doesn’t work! Oh yeah all Northerners are poor! What an ignorant idiot!

    i just say belew or bleeew, it works perfectly.

  4. JaradTProductions says:

  5. sinister420 says:

    dr. kawashima is a japanese. maybe instead of saying “BLUE” or “YELLOW” instead “BURU” or “YERO”.

    lol…

  7. mellonindustries says:

    lol im from the north east and it picks my voice up (a boro voice, of all lol)

  8. dezeer says:

    The voice recognition looks for key tones in your voice. you have to clearly pronounce your words in order for the device to pick up your voice.

    I’m not getting into the republican vs notherner shite. I’m not bothered. Just to say this shite game doesn’t understand me dublin accent. Its pure bollocks.

    I like how he says women need to speak lower than normal and then HE speaks lower…

  11. kamlondonuk says:

    It does not pickup northerners voices because they have no money to buy the game in the first place becuase they are all piss poor!

  12. minicheah12 says:

  13. lolmancunt says:

    Silly northerners again , trying to threaten people over the internet for comments which arent even that bad.

  17. benjarni1992 says:

    u got a fucking problem?

  18. benjarni1992 says:

    im from middlesbrough and i cant use the bloody thing. you say green to it and it doesnt accept it and again blue. but yellow is the worst even if i do speak cockney it doesnt work so i just stoped playing it full stop.

  19. mengzor says:

    Silly northerners.

    I come from Windsor so I think I’ve got the upper hand.

  21. TheCassyJenelle says:

    It said it understood ENGLISH. Not ENGLASH!

    I’m sure the DS couldn’t recognize a mexican accent either.

    I don’t see why they are so upset, they just need to adjust their accent tone a little.

  22. xBlizzerx says:

    Learn to speak english properly!

    Problem solved.

  23. rabbitjr says:

    Ugh, why is this getting so much media attention? Yeah, the software may or may not recognize your voice because it’s dated and voice recognition software isn’t perfect anyway. Wanna know another shocking fact? You need BOTH thumbs to play home games consoles! HAND NAZI’S!

    This kind of technology isn’t 100% reliable anywhere, ever tried a speech-to-text converter? It’s not like you can’t skip the damn Stroop test in the game, just do another one instead.

    Its a NINTENDO DS, not a DS NINTENDO IDIOT!
