Is this related to Hiphoprobot?
I'm asking out of curiosity. I wouldn't want a fellow Gaffer to lose his/her lively hood and face charges.

The animation in the second season of Konosuba is so much worse than the first.
lmao Nintendo is not that clever.

But Nintendo is evil, they did wrong! WTF
It's actually intentional. Fan feedback showed positive reception to the low quality animation as they felt it complemented the ironic nature of the show and was funny.
Nah he is not the one facing criminal charges as he didnt stole anything.
He was sold the stolen unit.

Reminds me of the rumour that the ESRB Smash Bros. leaker got fired and sued. Nintendo has no mercy.
Hiphoprobot said in another thread that he simply gave them the system back and that was the end of it, but who knows.
Hiphoprobot, post if you're okay.

Next time you put your livelhood/job at such risk for early access to the Switch, at least grab a damn copy of Breath of the Wild on your way out.

Do they address it at some point in the show? I legitimately stopped watching after the first episode of the second season.

That man's name?
He's obviously not the thief. Nintendo's statement confirms that the console was resold (which he himself confirmed) and whoever stole it in the first place is under investigation.
No, the PR specifically only mentions the distributor employees. It does briefly mention Hiphoptherobot, but it doesn't look like he is trouble, at least according to him.

I thought the Nintendo Ninjas were just a myth.
If they just bought it from the theives, they should be ok. The seller is in trouble here.

Handling stolen goods is a crime
In that reveal thread I warn that Robot should blur out the bar code. I was told I was being ridiculous because its nothing Nintendo can do
Possession is nine tenths of the law in the U.S

All that's left is the artificial shortage and then BOOM Wii like sales again. Masterful Nintendo. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I edited my post it was done based on fan feedback it's basically a running gag
Back when I worked on a warehouse of a big company I was surprised when I was told pallets of items were lost weekly.
Lol yea

I just hope Nintendo shows off the system themselves soon. So close and a leak was how we saw the UI is kinda sad.

Nintendon't play.
Hindsight is 20/20 and all, but if I was HipHop I would've posted anonymously. Glad we got the details he shared, but he should have damn well known that he was playing with fire.

Lmao, as someone who's followed this since 15%, this is hilarious. The important thing is we got to see the UI.
