Nintendo yesterday disclosed the Q&A record of the latest regular shareholders meeting. In addition to asking about Nintendo's business development in China, some shareholders also asked about the possibility of the return of the old series "F-Zero". According to a report by the foreign media "Business Insider", this shareholder is a die-hard Nintendo fan and spent 5.6 million yen (approximately 40,000 US dollars, 280,000 yuan) to buy Nintendo shares, just to get the approval at the shareholders' meeting. Nintendo's chance to ask the question.
At the annual shareholder meeting on June 29, the investor called Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa if he would consider bringing back fan-favorite series like F-Zero. Furukawa's answer:
It's really difficult to develop sequels and remakes for every Nintendo game series that people want, but we are very grateful and grateful to the fans for looking forward to our games.
Development Department Executive Shinya Takahashi added:
During the 79th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders in 2019, someone asked us if we had plans to remake the "Famicom Detective Club" series. At that time, we were planning a remake. This is an example.
We can't tell you about remaster plans for any particular game, but, while in development, we're always thinking about different possibilities for players to enjoy.
The investor Twitter, who goes by the user name Momiji, describes himself as a "huge fan." It is understood that he spent 5.6 million yen to buy 100 shares of Nintendo stock in February this year after selling stocks in other companies.
Momiji said in an interview with "Business Insider": "I have been playing Nintendo games since I was a child. Among them, I can't put it down the sense of speed of "F-Zero"."
"F-Zero" is a product of Nintendo Information Development Headquarters A futuristic racing game developed and launched on the Super Nintendo platform in 1990, it is generally known as "Zero Racing" in China. This game is famous for its high difficulty and breakthrough technology that broke the limits of racing games at the time, and influenced the creation of works such as the "Anti-Gravity Racer" series and "Sleepwalking in America". The series has subsequently launched a number of sequels produced by external developers, the latest of which dates back to 2004's "Zero Climax", which was released on the GBA.
Nintendo later confirmed to foreign media that 100 shares or more are required to participate in the annual shareholder meeting. Although Momiji owned enough shares to participate in the shareholder meeting, he was not sure he would be able to ask questions at the meeting. He called the opportunity to ask questions a "bonus."
Spending 280,000 yuan to get a chance to ask questions is certainly expensive, but at least Momiji still holds Nintendo stock.
