Hmmmm has Nintendo ever launched a game that was buggy and unfinished at launch? Genuine question

In 1909, dueling with wax bullets became a popular novelty. Losers could be theatrically declared dead, and the mock “fatal” results were said to cause general merriment.

Today on "World War 2 history you weren't taught in school": Remember Germany's "Invasion of Poland" that kicked off WW2? It turns out, Hitler only wanted the part of Poland that was stolen from Germany after World War 1. The Germans who were stuck living in this region post-WW1 were subject to horrible persecution, literally being murdered by the thousands. The "Invasion of Poland" was a rescue mission. Germany didn't want anything to do with war, especially not with their European brothers. Hitler constantly repeated this in his communications with the countries of Europe (Germany literally airdropped flyers for the British on multiple occasions, telling them there was zero reason to fight when all Germany cared about was fighting Soviet Communism; see the actual flyers attached below). But the Jewish bankers wanted their European genocide, so they pulled the strings behind the scenes as they do, and Britain/France declared war on Germany, using this "Polish Invasion" as the media story (the Jews had already officially declared war on Germany in 1933)
