It's normally news of a company apologizing to its fans, but this time it's the other way around. An eight-year-old boy has apologized to Nintendo for spilling water on his 3DS.

According to Kotaku, Japanese Twitter user Illil tweeted about how the water ended up spilling onto the 3DS. The boy had put it into his bag which was also carrying a Thermos sporting a loose cap. The 3DS was in need of repairs, so the Twitter user advised the young boy to contact Nintendo to get it fixed.

After calling customer service and getting the handheld repaired, the boy wrote a short apology letter to Nintendo. You can check out the translation below:

"I apologize for accidentally getting [my 3DS] wet. I'd like to think I've already resigned myself to not seeing my 3DS, which is always with me. From here on out, I aim to close my thermos' lid correctly. I am truly sorry."

I think Nintendo will be able to forgive him, but it's cute to hear a young child feel like he needs to apologize for something like this.
