Man, the people running the Xbox Twitter must enjoy their job of being wholesome towards every Console:

If Nintendo won't do a TTYD remaster, maybe Xbox can hook me up...

In a world of toxic twitter, Xbox is bringing some light. I really enjoyed this thread and it puts fanboys to shame.

When I was in Redmond, WA I just felt everyone at Microsoft enjoyed gaming more than the people at Nintendo. I was wearing a Metroid shirt that day, number of people at Nintendo HQ that mentioned it: 0, number at Microsoft HQ: at least a dozen.

Whoever runs the MS social accounts definitely has fun with their job. And for a role as awful and thankless at that, that's all that matters

Good on the xbox social media guy, he's doing a good job.
That's doing a lot more to make me consider interacting with the ecosystem than the whole dudebro thing they had for close to a decade.
Does Nintendo still have the patent on Sanity Effects?

Fanboys are somehow more obnoxious than ever. Silly me thinking that people would have "grown up" by this point.
The XBox/PS5 better nonsense is out of control but, honestly, I feel like this generation, above all others, is the one where no one is "better" than anyone else and it makes the stupidity even more evident.

Nintendo could be tweeting out the same thing, but them doing so while having no future release plans for them is… not smart.

Nintendo of course remembers Eternal Darkness. That's why they renew it every few years to give you the slightest bits of hope that they will make a sequel or a remaster!

How is this remembering TTYD more than Nintendo when TOK has two TTYD references in it though

Microsoft (Twitter account manager) praises Nintendo games.

People immediately start console warring about it.

Yeah, I really have a lot of respect for the people running that XBOX twitter account. They sure have to deal with some real pieces of work. I hope (and am sure they are) compensated well for their work.

If I went to Canon and wore a t-shirt with a printer on it, I don't think anybody there would mention it either.

Those Twitter comments are something else. People have some real weird attachments to their favorite companies. Get help.

All the big brand Twitter pr folks need to follow their lead here.
