So, Bushing claims that a representative from Nintendo contacted him. This is reasonable. What is silly is the message that the "Engineer" sent him.
Read that second message twice. Does bushing really think that one of the people that Nintendo hired to reply to consumer messages is incapable or writing a gramaticly correct responce?
The first sentence has a misspelling! And it's missing a comma. (First off,...) On top of that, it is a sentence fragment!
The second is a run on sentence. Also, the grammer is strange. We have to see this patched... would be what a native english speaker would use. Then, it needs to be ...possible. So, what is the security issue you want to talk about?
Also, look at the email address! Nin Tendo? What's up with that? A real Nintendo rep would have a [email protected] address.
Not to mention the lack of flow the entire thing has.
It is a fake!
I know I probably am missing something. Nobody that has accomplished as much as Bushing could really be as big of an idiot as this makes him seem. If you understand what I am misreading about his post, please say so. I just need to vent a little and found a good target.

played on an unmodified Wii console.
I would like to speak to an engineer about this — please have one contact me.
Sincerely,
bushing
Update: A representative from Nintendo has contacted me (see comment below). The rest of you can stop emailing me now. Assuming Nintendo acts in good faith, I don’t expect to be writing much more about this until it’s resolved.
