One of the latest memes Nintendo has been using is “What are those?,” which refers to the immediate reaction of someone who notices another person’s unconventional choice for shoes. Nintendo’s take on the meme is portrayed through a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U screenshot, which depicts a knelt-down Lucina gazing at Corrin‘s visible feet. Check out the screenshot for yourself in the tweet below:

Is this a sign that Nintendo is about to get dank as fuck??
Nah nintendo is pure retarded are they trying to be cool with the kids or what
And who’s the retard that invented meme then could it be you
Nah nintendo are pure retarded lol
And you’re pure ass ROFL
No, he’s pure disappointment lel.
He’s bare foot??
serious answer
yes, the avatar on those games NEEDS to be barefoot
I still think the male characters in Fire Emblem look like girls. Especially Robin
male corrin looks more like a female than male robin but that is my opinion
First time seeing an anime character huh
Clearly, I don’t spend enough time on the Internet, because I have never heard of this one before.
Same. I never heard of it either.
you should be happy
Good, because no one needs to find any humor in Vines videos.
I think it’s related to the “Damn Daniel” meme (may be wrong tho), which is just as unfunny.
Once again, Nintendo always late with the trends!
They also did a “here comes dat boi” meme a while back too… these are some dank times.
Who shot John?
Classic Nintendo : Late to the party
“[…] which refers to the immediate reaction of someone who notices another person’s unconventional choice for shoes […]”
Thanks, now I finally get the meme!
oh wow. yeah lol xDDDDD thats soooo funny and tottaly not the dumbest thing ever wich was never funny.
At least in those Fire Emblem titles the characters do have complete legs and feet. I would get astonished if Nintendo managed to do this same meme using Awakening characters.
I think that the joke here is that Lucina doesn’t have feet while Corrin does, which is why she’s so surprised
I’d like to quote this tweet from some user on twitter:
“Okay, which member from NoA infiltrated Europe’s twitter? I need to know who to kill.”
And stupid shit like this is why I keep updating my PS4 game list while my Wii U and Wii list shrink from my shelves like Nintendo place in a GameStop.
They need to go back to their Snes and N64 days. After those systems, it was straight fucking down hill.
It’s not their fault that fans keep inventing this shit and they can’t stay in those days cause they want to see how modern people are like these days and they like to try new gimmicks and those keeping coping the same thing over again
Come on dude, let’s be honest with each other for one second. How much does Nintendo have in money? Billions, yes? You’re telling me that you can’t hire people to follow trends and market better? Or are the only people capable of doing this are Sony and Microsoft? Mind you, Nintendo use to do that against Sega back in the day. Am I missing something or is it just because Nintendo is ran by old idiots that still live in 1999.
Does this even qualify as a meme? Unlike any other meme, I never really understood why this was funny.
The one below is funny, and fits extremely well in this situation in which Nintendo thinks is doing something funny:

It was a Vine meme. They’re all awful in one way or another. Most Vine memes revolve around the lack of intelligence possessed by ‘Viners’. This is why I avoid it like the plague.
pro tip use an extension called video blocker on Youtube to block all vine compilation channels
Don’t worry. I can just not click on them.

That “meme” is probably recognized by only 10 people on this planet. And all of them are women.
True fact of the day: It physically hurts at least a million people every time a company tries to use memes on social media.
Or when a TV show think that using a meme as humor is funny. That’s exactly why the Powerpuff Girls reboot should never exist.
DON’T BRING THAT CRAP IN HERE!!!!!
I’m still angry at Cartoon Network for rebooting the series WITHOUT the original cast (and I’m talking about the ones who mattered.
Well then blame the people that invented memes because modern people are the ones that invented that shit
No, blame Nintendo for being too stupid to get it right. And blame Nintendo for trying to be hip. How can you be cool when you fucking can’t even make games that are fun anymore. A.K.A : Star Fox!
Example: Star Fox, Metroid for 3DS, Color Splash Paper Mario. I’m done.
You guys should be blaming yourselves cause people like you guys are the reason why Nintendo uses memes in the first place also how come get upset when Nintendo uses them but sega gets a free pass
I don’t follow Sega that closely, so I don’t know how dead the memes are by the time they use them. I’ll remember to get annoyed at them as well next time they try to be ‘down with the kids’.
This is from Nintendo of Europe. They are always more lax. You wouldn’t see Nintendo America tweeting like this.
No, instead you see put out shit localizations like Fates’.
Nintendo, why,
When we tell you to be more modern with the internet, Nintendo, we don’t mean embrace stupid memes. We mean stop putting copyright claims on people’s let’s plays of your games.
