Ohoho, branching out into puns en français, are we? BIEN SÛR, mes amis. Nous sommes an equal opportunity pun website. What's that? We're not a pun website? We cover Nintendo news? Hm, if you say so.
Whether or not you've put down actual money for Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, you have to admit that this Nintendo Switch is une œuvre d'art, n'est-ce pas? Just look at its little snout! Plus, it'll go perfectly with our cow-print sofa, cow-print rug, and cow-print house-trained cow.
But anyone can win it: the unique Switch, made by plastic artist Vadu Amka, is a prize in a competition that's running right now to celebrate Story of Seasons' latest release.
Quoi? You're wondering why all the French? Oh, that's because it's a competition run by a French video game website, Jeux Vidéo. Quite a tenuous link, for sure, but we just wanted to practice our French, if you'll pardon our French.
As the site says, it's easy to enter the competition: "il vous suffit de suivre le compte Twitter de Jeuxvideo.com et de RT le tweet ci-dessous." Easy, right?
(Translation: "You just have to follow the Twitter accounts of Jeuxvideo.com and retweet the tweet below.")
Et voilà, le tweet lui-même:
The competition ends on the 29th March, so get your entries in aussi vite que possible.
Ah, what's this? Fine print? Well, we'll translate for you, since we're nice like that: "Unfortunately, this cow-print Nintendo Switch is deserving of only one owner, and that is Kate Gray of Nintendo Life, who will give this Nintendo Switch all the love and care it needs. We apologise for this misunderstanding." Huh, how weird!

Loved the French pun! Do more!
I’ve laughed at NL content more in the time since Kate joined than I have the remaining time I’ve been on here, meaning no offence to your fellows. Actual out-loud giggle at that ‘small print translation’.
I'm concerned that I actually want this...
MUST ... HAVE ... THIS.
Cow could I not want this???
...
...
....
(I’ll see myself out...)
@Balladeer I have always enjoyed the content on this site, but her articles have raised my enjoyment to the next level.
I would say the fine print is a shame, but actually I'd say it's well deserved! Enjoy the cow switch!
@Low_ink it can't be helped! It's legally binding!!!!
@RandomNerds I’m udderly convinced I need this.
I have to say, it does look pretty amoosing.
Umm...i don't usually like these special editions, but this one i honestly find really cute 😄.
@Northwind * twirls moustache * oui
why isn't this sold in stores?
it's so cool! i love the design of it and the joy-cons....
C'est epique!
(that's all i can remember from my french lessons back in the day)
Kate's articles are as funny as always ! As a fellow baguette, I can especially appreciate the broken french of the subtitle, it made me giggle not gonna lie !
La vache, qu'est-ce qu'elle est cool cette switch quand même !🐮
It’s “C’est vachement mignon” not “mignonne” but nice pun
@Pirate1 lol
So much emotion. Feels like I’m reading a Kotaku article. Thanks for the heads up though, I’ve got a friend who need this in her life.
Argh. It’s so cute! But not enough for me to wade into the social media cesspool.
@Khalic Nintendo Switch is feminine though
If there are two of these Kate can have one and I’ll have the udder......😒
Oh la la! I need this! I will pay bribe money for this.
@Mr_Pepperami I was hoping I cud have one. I'll be ruminating about that for a while.
This is very nice looking. Maybe I should ask my sister to make one too. I like how the dock isn't so boring looking.
@NEStalgia alright alright you’re just milking them now.
@Balladeer Yeah, she's great.
This looks way better than most of the Switches Nintendo sells.
@KateGray It is, but the expression is neutral, so it takes the masculin. (native speaker here)
@KateGray If you said “Elle est vachement mignonne” it would work, but the expression usually takes the “c’est” from “ceci est”. “Ceci” is neutral.
@Mr_Pepperami I know, it's kind of cheesy, but I was just so over the moon when I saw it. I just thought "Hay, maybe I can butter someone up and get one." Maybe if Kate gets more than one I can heifer send one. But the whole contest seems like a bunch of bull. I guess I'll just have bale out to moove on to greener pastures.
It looks beautiful but I don't use Twitter!
@NEStalgia splendid! Bravo!
@kategray
I still haven't forgiven you for introducing me to the banana plushie which I desperately need, but will never own... and now this too? Why are you breaking my heart like this? 😆
This is gorgeous. Would snaffle up in an instant if this was retail. 🐮
this is the best thing. I just wish it wasn't story of seasons, but i could cut it off if i wanted to
@Bizaster A GOATY?
Looks nice but i'm already content with my White dock ACNH edition.
Correction: It says you'll need to follow @JustForGames_FR as well as JeuxVideo
Finally a chance to use my degree-in-progress for its intended purpose!
This is definitely a FERME favourite design of mine!
They didn’t draw a BLANC slate when coming up with this design!
S’il NOIR pas complètement adorable que je suis une VACHE! Meuhh!
(Ok that last one sucked a bit but I tried)
Wait this is a Nintendo website? I thought it was just a place for Alex to practise weird sayings that nobody has ever heard before! Huh.
Aww. Its very cute. :3
@Khalic goddamn it, french
@KateGray Ikr, there’s always an exception to remember, it’s very aggravating.
