Wait, really? I'm not surprised they had to censor the name. It's too dark for Nintendo of America in the 90's

[@茂雄なり藤]

Japanese original title: イナクナリナサイ that means “begone” or “you vanish”

[@SpedyFoxIV]

@@Kafka_Garezerra It wasn't censored. "Pokey Means Business" was made up by the western fans because they had no idea what the song's name was. It kinda just stuck with the fanbase after that.

Excuse me what now? Cease to exist? Sounds allot like what gygas is doing at this very second!

[@GSVRemix]

I prefer this title, it sounds much more appropriate to both the situation and the tone of the song. As far as I know, Pokey Means Business is not even an official title, it was made by the fans who ripped the soundtrack from the game's ROM, since the original CD didn't include this song, among many others.
