Random: The 'N' Of The Logo At Nintendo's Kyoto HQ Has Fallen Down

looks like nintendo has become "INTENDO"

I hope they INTENDO fix it

Pray for Kyoto & Nintendo for safety....

How long since it was last updated? It obviously wasn't stable enough.
Maybe they'll do like in Bojack Horseman and just rename the company "intendo"

Typhoon has intentionally rebranded Nintendo.

This is the biggest news we’ve had in a while

THIS IS BEYOND THE PALE!

I'm boycotting weather, and you should too! If it's not going to storm in 4K at a million rains per second, it's a second rate storm with no third party hail anyway.

Crash Bandicoot took it, wasn’t stable enough.

Hope everyone stays safe. Living in southeast US, these huge storms are ridiculously devastating.

It wasn't the typhoon, I've just taken the N as a hostage until they announce Animal Crossing

...and I'll keep stealing them until it happens!

@Kimyonaakuma You'll need more letters for the inevitable ransom note.

This is what our online subscription money is needed for!!

Yes its a bad sign. Signs work best when they are complete.
When they replace the N, it will be a good sign again.

This is defi itely a bad sig . ow we wo 't get a y ew games from intendo.

No worries, they have two more letters "n" there.

I intendo check my privilege after getting news on a typhoon killing dozens of people off a website reporting the damage to a company sign .^_^;;

All jokes and memes aside, I do hope that all the staff members are safe and sound.

intendooooooooooooooooooooooomed

SONY STOLE THE N! GET READY FOR NONY!

othing to worry about

More on the storm for those interested.

I wouldn't be surprised if any planned ND was delayed b/c of it, it's pretty bad.

Needs more stability

I all ho esty, we eed to pray for those affected. This sou ds pretty bad.

@NoxAeturnus Thunder and lighting come via lootboxes and autumn will come as a season pass. Other season passes are available

Man I hope the N is found, I'd buy that in a second. Imagine having the actual N in Nintendo!

@bluemujika Id keep an eye on the Japanese Ebay...

@Pod Obviously the storm was bad, and people died, and that's sad. But you should check your sense of humor if it's not ok to joke about a sign's lost letter.

@1UP_MARIO You’ve made my day. Thank you.

I hope people are fine enough and that nobody of Nintendo's own people got hurt or worse.

Hope for the best for the people in Japan in general.

The big N fell on the head of Sakurai, Smash Bros is cancelled.

Hello from Shiga Japan, the prefecture next door to Kyoto (I go to Kyoto a couple times a month).

Yeah the storm was pretty nasty. Even though Shiga escaped the worst of it, the winds were strong enough that when I stupidly went outside to check it out it was enough to literally blow me around. And I ain't small! Lots of signs and the like are damaged. As bad as it was though, it's still not that bad. Nothing like the tornadoes in the American midwest or Earthquakes here can be. Thank God!

Japan sadly has had more than a few disasters over the years, so they know how to build strong buildings that can take a beating. But surface stuff like this are just cosmetic.

Yes, it's a bad sign. As in literally a bad sign. The letters did not adhere properly to the side of the building.

Where can I get an Intendo Switch?

@NoxAeturnus
Apologies, that was very Ninsensitive of me.

@NoxAeturnus That thing that just flew over your head was the humor.

@1UP_MARIO You win 😂

ow your playig with power

@1UP_MARIO Fantastically played

"A bad sign" is the best pun I´ve read on this site ever.

@bluemujika "Get N or get out!"

@Heavyarms55 South Honshu specifically seems to have it pretty rough this year. I went to Tokyo at the end of June so I followed Japanese news a bit more closely.

There was a pretty big earthquake at the beginning of June, then heavy rain with lots of flooding and after that one of the biggest heat waves in recent years. And now this...

I guess you could say that the Big N
(••) / ( ••)>⌐■-■ / (⌐■_■)
Has gone third party
Yeeaaaah

I hope people are ok over there.

Since the ''big N'' is gone,I guess we will now say the ''small i''.

This is just a guess,but I think the weight of the capital N letter caused it to fall more easily.

Just embrace it like they do the missing D in the Hollywood sign in Bojack Horseman, which forever then changed to Hollywoo. Nintendo is now just Intendo.

Nah, they”re just calling themselves Intendo from now on.

intendoomed.

Well Sega does what Intendon't.

"intendo" sounds like "entendo" in Portuguese, which means "I understand".
Please, understand - vibes.

Maybe they'll make the new N out of some super-stable 3DS systems? (Love some of the puns above btw, it's a shame that I'm late to this.)

All joking aside, hurricanes/typhoons themselves are no laughing matter. I don't live in a part of the US that has to deal these other than occasional weather remnants; we're due for some rain over the next few days from the tropical storm that just made landfall. I was in New Orleans in mid-2010 and remember seeing some of the signs from Katrina a few years prior.

I hope and pray that everyone affected by this is able to return to their normal routines.

Great, Apple must’ve purchased them.

Introducing the new and improved iNtendo

Yes indeed a bad 'sign'.

Switch game releases have been dire this year, then this happens.

This is what happens when you start making your stuff out of cardboard.

@NoxAeturnus Nothing wrong with having long-term goals is there? If I get impatient I'll just need to settle for the word "now" and some pictures of Tom Nook

This reminded of a terrible poem I wrote in school inspired by Super Mario Kart rage. What did I say, like "I think the designers did intendo to make me mad, this game is very bad."

Not enough stability

So what you're saying is....
...
The letter N is confirmed for Smash?

Everything's fine, they're just changing Nintendo to it's pig latin form "intendonay". They just took down the N until the A and the Y arrive.

Besides that, hopefully that typhoon didn't stop 800-255-3700 from working at least.

@countzero You're preaching to the choir dude. I live here.

Fun fact, back in the day (80s), my mom called the NES the "Intendo".

Apparently she could see the future.

It makes Nintendo stronger.
as the old commercials back in the days:
"Nintendo, now your playing with power!"

Well, that’s something you don’t see every day...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Intendo!

@the_shpydar good mom

"A bad sign?"

Lol, you couldn't resist! Anyway, quite some disasters this year for the Japanese. I wish them all the best!

@Henmii uck, man, this a tragedy, not the time for jokes. I can't reach their Japanese tech support.

Ok, I'm awful.

私は日本について祈っています。

Should just leave it that way. Add a flickering neon "open" sign...perfection.

This is a sign that the next Zelda should be a Switch exclusive based on the Switch its power.

too bad nintendo isn't ninnuendo. then it would've been perfect!

Hope no one was hurt.

@nonprophetmusic,

Everyone made jokes about the missing N, even the writer of the article (as I mentioned). To be honest you are right, I shouldn't have done that either. Its terrible, those natural disasters. I wish them all the best!

@Henmii Hey, I wanna clear somethin' up. First, off, I didn't realize the article made the joke. I thought that was all you, and it did genuinely bring one of those wry smiles to my face.

Second, I made two jokes with my post, and if they went over your head, I'm sorry, they weren't supposed to. First, I "censored," a swear by dropping the first letter, and then said the tragedy was not being able to reach Nintendo's Japanese tech support.

Obviously, the tragedy is the loss of life and love in this instance.

I couldn't ever wish the worry or fear or pain, or any of this on anyone truly. A lot of the time I come across as very crass, and sometimes maybe even intolerant, of some things and I don't feel like as good of a guy as I should be. That's on me, so every once in a while, I need to get the good out. I want you to have whatever good I can offer in these words.

I really don't want you to feel bad for finding humor in something like this, because, while it is absolutely heartbreaking... I dunno, I think we kinda need that sometimes. The world can be big and bad and frightening as all Hell. And sometimes, we just need that laugh. It doesn't disparage anyone necessarily by trying to find something beyond the heartache. Maybe not everyone in the audience is gonna like the joke or think it's appropriate, but that doesn't matter. What matters is, everyone needs to know there is always more to a situation or a circumstance than heartache and turmoil.

Don't feel guilty for trying to seek that out.
And don't let anyone make you feel guilty when you're able to find a laugh or a smile.

I'm sorry for doing that to you.

@the_shpydar
lmao

@nonprophetmusic,

Its okay! From what I understand both our hearts are in the right place.
