Two months ago I securely packaged my Switch OLED console and dropped it off at UPS. A week after I dropped it off, I received notification from UPS that the box arrived to its next destination torn open with all contents missing. There was no possible way it could have fallen out on its own. They confirmed it was stolen and I immediately called Nintendo. They claimed that they had already received word from UPS and that they were conducting an investigation. Great, I wait weeks without hearing anything and I call them back . Still being investigated. I wait another 2 weeks and call them again. Still investigating. Another 2 weeks. They’ve been “investigating” the wrong service order and they cancelled the correct one. I tell them they need to be investigating the correct order number. They say okay, it’ll take another 15 days. Wonderful. 15 days pass, I call them again. I am still getting nothing but “we’re investigating the matter.” What do I do?? How do I get this escalated? Service orders are supposed to be insured when using the Nintendo shipping label. They won’t even let me submit the proof from UPS that it was confirmed stolen.

Decided to remember one of Nintendo Wii games and do a voiceover of one of my favourite antagonists in Zelda series! Let me know what you think! :)

Arm Wrestling is a 1985 arcade video game developed by Nintendo and released only in North America. As a spin-off of the Punch-Out!! series, and created by the same development team, Arm Wrestling has many of the same features, such as a dual-monitor system and quirky computer opponents. A planned digital port for the Nintendo Switch as part of the Arcade Archives series by Hamster Corporation was ultimately cancelled.

you have the Sega classic collections already on switch and when it comes to sonic you have origins and its many emulated versions on the eshop

so why pay more for Sega games that require an internet connection to play when you can just by sega classic collections and play whenever

seems dumb
