An account @n1ntendoofus calling itself Nintendo of America posted a picture of its main mascot giving the finger to Twitter and, we have to guess, any number of goombas he is ready to stomp on. When a user replied “Mario would never do that,” referring to Mario’s new explicit gesture, the fake Nintendo account replied “well he did.”
According to The Verge, the account was up for nearly two hours before it was finally taken down.
