"Sir the aliens have attacked!"
"Well, Gee Wizz"
Doesn't have the same impact.
I know, I know... it's just, well, you could tell it was kinda forced.
On a separate note, how much swearing does there have to be in a game for the ESRB to point it out? They threw in a "h3ll" in DK64, and, of course, the aforementioned Metroid moment, but there's nothing on the rating about it. Also, Donkey Konga 2 got a "T" for "Mild Lyrics", but I can't hear any swearwords in any song in that game (I mean, they bleeped an f-bomb out of "It's Been A While", but
that's obviously not going to be in the game).
"Hey Shadow, stand guard. I gotta go behind this tree and take a tick."
