On Friday, April 3rd, Nintendo tweeted out the tweet you see above basically informing their followers on where to learn more about Shulk ahead of their Xenoblade Chronicles 3D release for the New Nintendo 3DS. Things took a turn for the sour once Nintendo fans picked up on the fact Nintendo believes people know more about Shulk from his Amiibo than his actual game.

This led to some very interesting responses from Nintendo fans on twitter. Here’s a brief collection of some of them:

"i thought he originated as an amiibo"


LMAO!

True, I couldn't find the right wording. If any moderator wants to switch it up, that's fine. 

but that doesn't mean that Nintendo is insulted.... :/

What you typed and the source you gave say two very different things.

I don't think they're insulted, but the stuff people say

I can't leave it exactly the same. That's plagarism :(

I know him as the lone Amiibo I am missing. And that truly sucks, because it's the one I want the most before they all released :

I don't think Nintendo would feel insulted from something this ridiculous.

What a dumb thread.
