Yoji Ishii: Originally the game was being developed under the title “Busty.” But before it came out, the branch office in the U.S. asked us to change the title because “busty” was a slang word that didn’t have a very good meaning. So we changed it to “Flippy,” which was based on the way the character moved. But then it was decided to change it again because “Flippy” was too close to “MAPPY.””
