Ideally that would apply to the community list in the left drawer nav as well. As of now it only shows instance for communities where you have multiple with the same name.

Why even consider taking the L? Sounds like you should be getting your money back. Who sold the tape to you, and how did they represent it?

That kind of thing, for sure, but it's hard to see it happening in that form. For one thing it would give people (and the gaming press) a fresh reason to talk about the price of games, plus if people spend the credit on third-party games that technically costs Nintendo actual money vs. spreadsheet money.

A one-time voucher for any first-party title would make sense, and they could either restrict it to titles that have already been released, or strategically set the expiration date to make sure it doesn't cut into sales of a big new title they have planned.

Sure, they did something like this once before with the launch of 3DS.

The handheld quickly ran into slower-than-expected sales due to several factors. Most notably, the 3DS's price of US$249.99 (equivalent to $358 in 2025), the highest ever for a Nintendo handheld, deterred many consumers, especially compared to the original Nintendo DS, which launched at $150 in 2004.

In response, Nintendo announced a major price cut on July 28, 2011, reducing the console's price by nearly a third, to US$169.99 (equivalent to $243 in 2025) in North America and ¥15,000 in Japan. To appease early adopters, Nintendo launched the 3DS Ambassador Program, offering 20 free classic games to users who accessed the eShop before August 21.[58][59] These included ten NES titles, such as Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, and Metroid, as well as ten Game Boy Advance games, including Mario Kart: Super Circuit, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, and WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames!.[60][61][62]

Then all is lost! But still a good day to learn a little human nature.

Because you're more likely to convince someone with a single emotionally-charged fact than a bulleted list.

Songs where the singer tells you exactly two things they have... no more, no less.

 

Something about days and whether or not they come, and if so, when they come.
