Users afraid to accept Nintendo's terms and conditions and end up being drafted into the US military

Baghdad Clue.- Thousands of gamers expressed concern after Nintendo updated its terms and conditions, which—according to Reddit users with a PhD in paranoia—could include a hidden clause that would allow the United States to recruit players as soldiers in an emergency.

“They make you accept without reading, and maybe in clause 58.3, section Peach, they enlist you in the marines,” complained a young man who preferred to play without connecting to the Store.

The American Army is already recruiting wherever it can.

The rumor started after a young man turned on his new Switch and came across an “updated terms” screen, accompanied by an Uncle Sam wearing a Super Mario hat pointing his index finger directly at the user.

“I accidentally accepted and now I got a letter saying, 'Welcome to the Donkey Kong Battalion,'” said another Internet user, who will now visit the Persian Gulf (which, they say, is very beautiful in the summer), and where he will be able to put into practice what he learned in Smash Bros.

The Pentagon denied that there is a formal agreement with Nintendo, although it admitted that it would not mind having someone who has survived 200 hours of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or completed Metroid Dread without losing a life.

For its part, the Japanese brand issued a statement clarifying that the terms only seek to "improve the user experience," although they did not comment on the alleged battalion formed with Latin American gamers who are already training with the mission of emulating Alexander the Great, who, according to unreliable sources, was also a fan of Luigi's Mansion .

In case you missed it: an airline lost the robot belonging to some Mexican students, and they were no longer able to participate in the competition they were going to.
