Social Media Survey from Nintendo of America.

They asked for a preference between live-action and animated, too. While it'd be cool to see a big budget take on something like Zelda, I think that virtually every one of their IPs would benefit more from an animated treatment.

I like the part where you can't progress unless you say that you want more memes on at least one social media outlet.
Definitely agreed. Animation 2D or CG would benefit their stuff much better and the effects would work too without any strings on actors or CG effects.
Oh come on I can't choose Lucina as my fave amiibo?
And no. Marth doesn't count as Lucina.
Still waiting on Fire Emblem anime.

This is an odd question:
I've only ever bought eShop games from the eShop, which isn't an option. I guess that counts as Nintendo's website? That's what I"m going to put down, but it's really not the same thing.

This your guys chance to tell them your thoughts.
Yet people are posting jokes. Do these surveys actually work anyways?
Also isn't responding in memes, telling them to do more of them? Think about that.

I told them straight up I want an update on Universal theme parks at E3.
I basically had to select the entire column for one of the social sites to get past it.
Even though some of the options wouldn't make sense lol.
Many voting against memes, many voting for memes to be ironic against those against memes.
I mean unless you never buy anything except Nintendo I think that's what they're asking.
just say that you would like to see more of everything on google +

I'm not sure I understand this sentence? Do you mean "I think they're asking if you buy from anywhere other than the eShop?" That would make sense, except they force you to select at least one answer.
What's with the Amiibos question? Where's the "fuck off with the Amiibos" choice?
How awesome are Amiibos?
so awesome
so awesome
so awesome

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Worst question is always "Do you download digital games? Please list them".

Cheers - went full on YouTube and it worked.
That question was so dumb - if they want that info, just look at some actual eShop accounts maybe? I just answered VC titles and download only titles.

Anyone asking for more memes is a monster.
In regards to favorite social media content, there are no options for reviews or discussions. I don't do any of the other options...
I'll pick "History of" since I do enjoy retrospectives I guess
I think they mean online sites like Amazon, and not just digital games.

Basically this entire survey when you have to give a mandatory answer to get through. I gave a blanket answer for amiibo and wanted to be done with it. Then they give that half assed list and expect me to care.
There are also those sections with things like "memes" where you have to fill it in somewhere. So I picked Tumblr and Facebook to be done with it. None of this has gotten any better. I did leave my thoughts on things like NX, E3, DLC, region lock and such. But when the survey is such a slog it becomes hard to take most of it seriously.
Edit: IIRC there was a Post E3 2015 survey as well last year? If it comes again this year, I'm not holding back like I did last year.
That was a pretty lengthy survey. But I took my time to answer everything. Don't use social media much though, did this mainly for the E3 question. Gimme dat good NX stuff. And Zelda. And a Smash port.
I also told them to not cater to kids at E3, as they are not the ones tuning in.
EDIT: And I asked them to include optional ways to unlock the more significant amiibo stuff similar to how Super Mario Maker does it, for those of us who aren't into collecting figurines but still want some of that content.
You monster

MK is best amiibo

Honestly, wrt memes, I think Nintendo is one of the only game companies that's currently (self-)aware enough to produce stuff that could be considered 'meme-like'. I'm not talking about slapping pixelated sunglasses on Toad and adding a 'deal with it' caption, but they've produced content that's both self-deprecating and/or genuinely funny, and doesn't come off as trying too hard. Like the screenshots they used to post when introducing new characters on the Smash bros website, for instance.
My friend, you're nearly 20 years late to the party!

Horrible survey. Stopped filling it out.
I hate it when surveys give you an option of saying "I am not familiar/not applicable" and then proceed with pages of questions on my opinion of the thing I'm not familiar with.
It's rubbish.

It is indeed a terrible survey from the perspective of an informed gaming enthusiast.
Like why the fuck would I go to a youtube celebrity's channel for "information on games" and you can't even pick "reviews" as a favorite type of gaming content, but there's "pranks" and "collabs" what a shit.
Also you can pick "I watch daily" in regards to official Nintendo Twitch content, they stream like what twice a year?

They've done the more traditional internet memes from time to time. Not a lot though. But I do agree, that they do some genuinely fun things a lot of the time that they often become a funny meme. I think it's funny when the account pretends it's one of the characters from their own game series from time to time and they do it well like Cranky Kong. Then there's the unexpected like Toad's first shitpost. I saw a lot of Toad that day. Then you have last E3, the Twitter account joked about Reggie's loss against Hungrybox.
There are legit funny and good moments from that Twitter.

Seriously, it's a pretty badly designed survey. C'mon, I'm trying to help you out, do you want me to give garbage answers that will muck up your data?
Wowfunhappy

But it's asked immediately after the question "Do you ever download games?"
Of course, it's such a badly designed survey that it's difficult to tell.

I told them I want more Donkey Kong at this E3.
Yeah true, that series of question is probably intended for the physical/digital purchase split, not eShop exclusives or VC games.

I thought I was quite with it for a guy in his forties but all of those social media questions tell me otherwise. For the question about which youtubers I would like to see involved with Nintendo, I made it abundantly clear that if they get PewDiePie involved, we're over.
