Does anyone else seem to think that Nintendo's Customer Support Sucks?

Well, I wrote nintendo, and here is what I said:

Dear NoA:

I have been playing Animal Crossing: City Folk recently, andI have a question about DLC. I know that there are 256 DLC Slots, but I want to know if this is how it works:

Lets say that there are three items coming out, and there are three slots.

So I get item #1 and it takes up slot #1, but I do not have my internet on when they give out Item two, and so I only have one slot taken up, but then, item #3 comes out, which slot does it take up?
#2 or #3?

And so, here is what Nintendo wrote back:

Hello,

The downloadable items are only special when you haven't claimed them yet. Once you have the downloaded item in your game, it becomes a normal object. You can even order it from your catalog and send it to friends who missed the download window.

If you have WiiConnect24 on, an item waits until you turn on your game, at which point it is delivered. If you don't turn on your game before a new item appears, the old one is lost in place of the new item.

Sincerely,

R.M. Ricketts

No wonder they always make no sense.
 
When I get an email back from Nintendo, it will say:

Hello Jason

Nintendo of Europe, they actually type to me.
 
I saw sense in the email. Its perfectly clear to me.. But hey, I guess were all different. T_T
 
yea, call next time. and cuss alot, cause usually the system can track that and get you to an agent faster
 
I usually get a rep, but they all say the same thing when I inquire about a future game. "You never know what the future holds!"

Yeah, same happened to me.

"Dear NoA:

I was wondering if The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker was in your line up for the New Play Control! series. I never got to play the game because I never owned a GC, but I would love to play it on Wii.

It's not as bad as Microsoft's customer service. They make the best hardware on the planet IMO, but they have horrible customer service. You have to talk to a robot forever. here's how an average conversation goes:

Caller: Hi, I have a problem with my controller. It disconnects periodically for no reason.

Robot: I'm sorry, I didn't understand your message. Please speak slower.

Caller: Hi, I-have-a-problem-with-my-controller. It-disconnects-periodically-for-no-reason.

Robot: I'm sorry, I didn't understand your message. Please speak slower.

Caller: MY FREAKIN' CONTROLLER DOESN'T WORK FOR GOD SAKES! IS IT THAT HARD TO UNDERSTAND!

Robot: Gotcha'. I'll connect you through to the Microsoft employment opportunities office.
 
Yeah,This one lady on the phone she kept on repeating her self :/ and i was doing what she was saying.....

will they *nintendo* erase your data if you send your wii in for them to fix brawl?
Possibly.
I have had my Wii sent in and luckily, it was only a disc drive problem, not a memory problem.
