Honestly, I thought this was a parody when I first saw this. I find it odd that Nintendo is letting a game on their platform wade into US politics. Anyone recall this happening previously?

Honestly I don't think Nintendo is picking a side, they are just taking the money.

I am pretty far from a sensitive guy as you can get, and I don't like that.

I thought games were the last bastion of pure entertainment without politics.

Apparently that's now over.

Seems like a waste of resources for Biden to pander to Nintendo soy boys. It would be like Obama stressing out about the black vote

Can you burn down structures in Animal Crossing, like you can in Minecraft?

This is probably the case, but surely they understand how it looks.

I love it. Whenever my wife goes on a girls' night out (which is happening more and more often), I struggle to find ways to bond with her son. This will be a great opportunity to show him how hip I am.

I highly doubt the Trump campaign is paying for that. This isn't going to move the needle politically at all.

By wife, you mean hand. And by son, you mean penis.

It looks like those are just custom designs. Anyone can make them. It's only "official" in that it came from the Biden campaign. Nintendo has nothing to do with it.

Why exactly? Can't you make that stuff yourselves anyways?


And if you don't have Biden or Trump stuff up yourselves, how much of a chance do you have of seeing it yourself? I don't know how the online aspect of this game works.

If people want to put this up in their own little worlds, why does it matter? MAGA the place up.

Closest thing is Pokemon Go to the polls via Hillary.

which prompted a clever response from DJT:
