Yesterday, Nintendo shareholders asked the company if they had plans to revive past IP such as the future racing series F-ZERO, RPG Baten Kaitos, and various other titles like Wario Land. was.
This question wasn’t cheap.Speaking of Business Insider, an individual known as’MapleOn social media, he revealed how he spent over 5.6 million yen (over US $ 40,000) on Nintendo’s stock to ask Nintendo’s president Shuntaro Furukawa at Nintendo’s latest shareholders’ meeting.
The same person, who calls himself an “enthusiastic Nintendo fan,” bought 100 Nintendo shares for 56,430 yen per share (over US $ 400 per share) in February after selling shares in another company. He has been playing Nintendo games since he was a kid, and he doesn’t seem to get enough speed from F-ZERO.
There was no guarantee that he could ask questions for the shareholders’ meeting. This was probably a “bonus” in the end. Business Insider also mentions how 100 shares are needed to have direct access to Nintendo’s shareholders’ meeting.
So what was Nintendo’s final reply? We are “always” thinking about how to develop new titles and remakes.This is what was said, courtesy of translation by Robert Cefazon (via VGC):
“It’s practically difficult to develop new titles and remakes, including sequels, for every Nintendo game people demand, but we’re very grateful to our fans for what they expect from our game. I am. “
“We are always thinking about how to develop new titles and remakes that many players can enjoy.”
This is not the first time I’ve heard such a reply from Nintendo. Regarding F-ZERO, there are concerns about the future of the series, but there are still people who have hope (including former Nintendo employees).
