Wii loves Islam, hates Konami

Just messing around with the Wii messaging system and came across this auto-complete entry:

Unfortunately, p.s. (what I was trying to type) isn't in the dictionary, but luckily the Q'uran is, which will be great because it'll be easy to type when I send out my Mohammed mii.

Of course, the entry to the right is even better. It turns out the Wii dictionary is full of game titles and characters. However, what I discovered next was distressing:

R-Type, but NO GRADIUS. What are you trying to say, Nintendo? Gradius shows up on the Virtual Console in Japan and not America, and now it's not even in the dictionary? Are we just not good enough? How are people supposed to message each other their complaints?

A: Oh, I really wish I could download that impossible NES space shooter!
B: What was it called?
A: You know... Grading... er, Gradients... Oh, I can't even spell it!
