If you subscribe to Nintendo’s official YouTube channel, you might have noticed over the past day that it has uploaded its Switch Online overview trailer again. Despite being a fresh upload, the dislikes already outnumber the likes.
At the time of writing, there are around 5K likes and 15K dislikes. Here’s a sample of one of the thousands of comments:

While it’s got some viewers thinking Nintendo is trying to get a more positive reception out of its fanbase, it seems this is likely not the case.
As noted by a few other comments underneath the same video, towards the end of the trailer there’s now footage of the new Switch Online exclusive, PAC-MAN 99. There’s also some Animal Crossing: New Horizons gameplay in there, so it’s definitely an updated video.
“They added Pacman 99 to the trailer at 2:43. That’s it. That’s why they reuploaded it.”

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen headlines about companies re-uploading game trailers. Last year, The Pokémon Company re-uploaded a video of Pokémon Unite on multiple occasions.
