Nintendo meets Billings Farm's milking challenge head-on

But not in the way we expected

Nintendo meets Billings Farm's milking challenge head-on
|

Cast your mind back a couple of weeks and you may remember that Nintendo was challenged to a milking contest by Vermont-based Billings Farm. I told you I'd keep you updated when the results were in, and *Yoda voice* in they are indeed.

Not one to back down from a challenge, Nintendo sent Tim and David to meet the folks over at Billings Farm and to experience what it's like to actually milk a cow. Having milked a cow or two in my time, it is actually trickier than it looks, so props to Ninty.

However the challenge didn't exactly play out like I'd expected it to. Aside from helping out with the bovine beauty, Mystique, the 'challenge' part of things played out using the 1-2 Switch game, which obviously the Nintendo crew won by a landslide.

The duo then continued to play 1-2 Switch around the property, showing off the Switch's diversity in a totally 'trying to look like we're not advertising' kind of way. But, it was fun to watch.

So there you have it. If you'd like to see the full video I've included it above for your viewing pleasure.
