A pornstar Nintendo accidentally (or not) put in the Nintendo Switch.

Go, as you probably figured out, is one of these characters. And the frequent theme of his memes is "Go is God."

Here are some examples Kotaku found since they somehow figured out how to find it with Twitter's lackluster 'search' feature:

Based upon their recent track record, Nintendo is unlikely to care.
