Man spends $40,000 to ask a question on Nintendo One
A Japanese had a question about Nintendo but instead of going to customer support, he went to the head of the company.
The man, who asked not to be identified, dropped more than $40,000 to participate in the video game giant, The Insider reported.
The number of shares was sufficient for one share in his name and an opportunity to attend the annual shareholder meeting with the company.
Nintendo held the meeting on Wednesday and the man thinks it’s his chance to ask about the future of “fan-favorite game franchises” like “F-Zero,” according to Insider.
“F-Zero,” a racing game franchise featuring Captain Falcon, was introduced in 1990 and hasn’t seen a new episode in the franchise since 2004.
In the years since 2004, Captain Falcon continued to appear in the popular fighting game series “Super Smash Bros.”
Participants in the shareholder meeting were not promised to ask Nintendo, but the man had the opportunity to ask Shuntaro Furukawa about his favorite games like “F-Zero.”
“It’s realistically difficult to develop new titles and releases, including a sequel, for every Nintendo game that people are asking for, but we’re very grateful and appreciate our fans’ expectations of our games,” Furukawa said. According to VGC gaming news subtitles.
Shinya Takahashi, CEO of Nintendo, also said that the company is “always” exploring how it can recreate new games and create new games for players, this was reported by VGC.
“We can’t tell you if there are plans to remake any particular game in the future, but during development we always think of different options that players can enjoy,” Takahashi said.
