WOODSTOCK, Vt. (AP) - Nintendo gamers may be better at virtually milking cows, but they say dairy farmers beat them at the real thing, hands down.
Two Nintendo employees on Wednesday beat two farmers at Vermont’s Billings Farm & Museum during a game of 1-2 Switch, where players perform various minigames, for the new Nintendo console Switch.
The Woodstock farm challenged Nintendo to the competition.
A day before the head-to-head battle, the Nintendo employees got a lesson in actual cow-milking. But on the day of challenge, they agreed they were no competition for the farmers.
Nintendo’s David Young said “Games are fun, but actually working on a farm is hard work.”
