Nintendo “interest” in farting

Nintendo seems to have taken an interest in farting. Or something like that.
While speaking with Kotaku about Nintendo’s peculiar sense of humor in April, director of product marketing Bill Trinen mentioned Game & Wario and noted how the team making the game possesses “their own very, very distinct, off-kilter humor.”
“And then you have a game like Game & Wario. The Wario team, they have their own very, very distinct, off-kilter humor. Which I love, because any time I can talk about farting in an official capacity, it’s fantastic. You’ll see a lot of that when that game comes out for Wii U.”
When asked later what it would take for the Wii U to reach the 3DS’ success, Trinen mentioned farts once again:
“I think we’re on the way [there], certainly, we’ve got games like Game & Wario. And I mean, who doesn’t want a game that’s gonna openly talk about farts?”
And here’s another interesting tidbit. When Nintendo kicked off the Game & Wario “Crowdfarter” to promote the game, Kotaku pointed out that the site was lacking in the farting department. Perhaps in response, the site now contains a “Take This” button that plays a farting sound when hovered over or clicked on.
Yeah… this is an odd post.
