Nintendo has launched a new service aimed at new customers looking for answers. The Nintendo Switch Concierge service is a no-cost program that allows Switch users to schedule one-on-one meetings with Nintendo representatives to ask questions or receive guidance about set-up.
These sessions are scheduled via the Nintendo Switch Concierge internal website and are available as video calls on Microsoft Teams between representatives and users. There is a little set-up required, with users needing to pick a topic they’d like to discuss, a time for the meeting, and filling in some information. This is all put into a chart on the website (pictured below), and then Nintendo will email those with meetings with more details.

Revealed as part of a feature from Bloomberg, it turns out that Microsoft originally approached various companies about acquisitions two decades ago, including Nintendo. But when the two sides met, Nintendo was “just laughing” the entire time. That’s according to Kevin Bachus, the former director of third-party relations at Microsoft.

[Nintendo Everything Podcast] – episode #98 – Hyrule Warriors’ Impa steals the Tokyo Game Show
Posted on 4 years ago by Oni Dino(@Oni_Dino) in Podcast | 0 comments
This week on Nintendo Everything Podcast, Tokyo Game Show 2020 is in full swing and we aim to be your go-to Nintendo podcast of two friends yelling at each other. Age of Calamity and Monster Hunter: Rise are really doing it for us – especially Hyrule Warriors Impa. But until those games come out, we’ve got the big Halloween Animal Crossing update. Also, a mega-corporation buying a developer/publisher that has no problems developing/publishing on their own is never good for consumers.
Check out links and timestamps below and come hang out.
