Knock it off!

It is no understatement to say that Nintendo hasn’t really taken advantage of the Internet to market their products. So I was amazed when I discovered that they were feeding us fans daily updates on Mario Galaxy 2 via Twitter. This wasn’t what I expected from an ultra-conservative Japanese company.

But my amazement soon turned in to anger, since it seems Nintendo’s Twitter feed is run by a 13-year old. Or even worse some PR person trying to act like he is in touch with the kids of today. Like the constant use of “u” instead of writing out “you”. Or just look at this tweet “NYC get ready, we're coming 4 you next!” can’t you write out “for”. It’s a short tweet so it is not like the 140 character limit is forcing you to type like a retard. This is how the kids I used to play Counter strike with communicated; it is not how a respectable company should deliver their message. Please, for God's sake knock it off!
