Nintendo
Nintendo gave a live presentation on Thursday night to show us their $299 Nintendo Switch and the games we can look forward to playing way too much on March 3rd and onward. We already did an in-depth breakdown of those features and games, so let’s move on to the jokes. Twitter was on hand, as always, to live tweet the event.
Some people noticed that certain things look like other things.

Sorry, guys, the Switch doesn't call it a Power Bottom.

Some couldn’t withhold their criticism.
Nintendo is Nintendoing this event harder than it's Nintendo'd in a while. #NintendoSwitchPresentation

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold up, Nintendo. You made a game requiring EYE CONTACT? I… I've made a huge mistake. #NintendoSwitchPresentation

"face to face interaction" count me out #NintendoSwitchPresentation

We’re pretty sure this tweet is fake news.
Weird. Miyamoto is now on the stage refusing to take questions from a CNN journalist. Yelling "Fake news." #NintendoSwitchPresentation

This one is only included because it references one of my favorite Mario parodies.

This one might be a little too much of an inside reference for Twitter users, but IT’S TIME FOR SOME GAME THEORY.
WAS MARIO'S HAT ALIVE ALL ALONG?
HELLO INTERNET, WELCOME TO GAME THEORY! #NintendoSwitchPresentation

Plenty of excitement was had over The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild going on sale March 3rd as a launch title:
