-The exclusion of the slot machines in European releases of {{game|Platinum}} was met with wide criticism by fans. While no official word from Nintendo was given on the subject, it has later been speculated that the removal of the pseudo-gambling minigame was because of the negative stigma attached to gambling.<ref name="Officialnintendomagazine"/>.

Instead of [[slot machine]]s, European Platinum players instead were given [[game machine]]s, which were largely uninteractive. This met with negative feedback.
