The 95-year-old grandmother, too frail to do much, always enjoyed playing Tetris on her first-generation Gameboy. After her third Gameboy died, the woman and her grandson hoped to find replacement parts for it. After her grandson told her about Nintendo’s “excellent” customer service, grandma didn’t hop on Twitter to talk to Nintendo; she sent the Gameboy to the company along with a letter asking if she could switch her Gameboy for a Nintendo Switch.
