Nintendo of America? just tweeted this:

We have Partnered with
@Xbox
to bring Xbox one Controller Compatibility to YOUR #NintendoSwitch ! As of today you will be able to play your favourite games with the controller of your choice! Go and give it a try!

Is that account true or fake? I think it's fake but how did they his imbecile get the "Nintendo of America" name?

@BlueOcean for the nicks, pretty much everyone can grab anything, so always check the @ whatever part of the twitter, as well as whether they have the (blue tick) mark.

It would be nice if you copied the link so we can verify. But I wouldn't be super surprised since Xbox created that handicap-enabled controller.

@BlueOcean If you're not familiar with Twitter, you need the verification badge to be considered completely legit.

This is the right one. Seems that you got tricked by a fake account that doesn't even have the same handle.

@Therad Twitter feed.

Is it just me, or are the "Just one more thing" overused?

@EvilLucario I wasn't tricked, I knew it was fake after a few seconds. It didn't surprise me that Nintendo supported the Xbox One controller but then I realised that the account is fake when I opened it.

Yes, we can all look it up, but isn't it better if you copy it and link it here when you ask the question?

@Therad I wasn't browsing anything, it appeared on my Twitter feed on my phone, don't worry, it's a fake account.

@BlueOcean Regardless that's the first thing you always need to look at for big corporations on Twitter. That verify badge and handle needs to be on point before you can trust it.

@EvilLucario The feed preview doesn't show badges on my phone so I only realised when I opened it.

@darkfenrir I know but it was on my phone feedback that doesn't show badges, you have to open the Twitter app to check the account. It literally took me seconds to realise that the account is fake or a joke.

Dammit Nintendo:

August 30th - Astral Chain
September 3rd - Spyro Trilogy
September 13th - Daemon X Machina
September 20th - Link's Awakening
September 27th - Ori and the Blind Forest

I already have Ori 1 on PC thanks to Game Pass so I can just play it now, but Astral Chain is already pre-loaded on my Switch..................................

@Grumblevolcano definitely getting 3 on that list. DQ on the 27th too right? Although it's not for me

There are, like, 10+ games releasing in September that I want at this point. It's stupid.

@NintendoByNature Yeah DQXI S is September 27th, I was just listing the games in the window I was interested in.

@BlueOcean Not seeing it on the real feed.

That's unlikely to happen, not just because of business reasons, but XBox stands alone in not using Bluetooth for it's controllers but a proprietary WiFi protocol. Sony's controllers would be more compatible than XBox ones. Newer models of X1 controllers do have a BT radio for PC compatibility, but then you'd get into the weird "depending on the age an model of controller you're using" mess. Elite v1 for example does not have BT at all (that's what v2 is partly for.)
