Der er mange, mange minispil i samlingen 1-2-Switch, men nu er særligt ét af dem kommet i speciel modvind, og den kommer fra Animal rights organisation People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, eller PETA.
De har nemlig udgivet et åbent brev til Nintendo via Facebook, hvor de skælder dem ud for at fjerne al den inhumane realisme der eksisterer i industrien, hvor malkning ikke ligefrem er en behagelig proces for køerne.
"You've taken all the cruelty out of milking. We have more than 35 years of experience investigating dairy farms where cows are exploited for their milk and it is NEVER that pleasant for these animals. Can we have some realism here, please?
"To simulate cow milking accurately, 1-2 Switch would need to show all aspects of dairy farming, including the violent insemination of female cows on what the dairy industry itself refers to as a 'rape rack'. Cows produce milk to feed their babies, but their young are torn away from them soon after birth so that human beings can use their milk instead. A mother cow will bellow for her calf for days after the baby is taken from her.
"Perhaps you could add these sounds to your game in order to remind players that by drinking milk, people support an industry that separates mothers from their babies.
"If you think that the gruesome nature of this would be too upsetting, we suggest that instead of sugarcoating the subject, Nintendo switch to simulating activities in which no animals suffer. (For example, an almond milk minigame in which you pick almonds could be quite fun.) Is your team brave enough to face the truth?"
Nintendo har endnu ikke svaret igen på brevet, og det vides endnu ikke rigtig hvad PETA ønsker at opnå med brevet, udover bevågenhed fra Nintendo i fremtiden selvfølgelig.
Nu benytter PETA tit disse taktikker, men har de ret i dette tilfælde? Er det uforsigtigt af Nintendo at implementere sådan et minispil?
