Today, when the concept of metaversity was on fire, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa expressed a negative attitude towards NFTs and metacosm in a recent Q&A session.
Shuntaro Furukawa said: "Metacosmity is being watched by many companies around the world, and it is clear that it has great potential. When introducing the metaverse, some people will also use "Collection! Let's take examples of games like Animal Friends. In fact, I am also very interested in this concept, but at present, it seems that it does not fit with Nintendo's plan. ”
He added: "At this stage, we have no way to clearly define the form of the metaverse, nor can we figure out what kind of surprises and fun the metaverse will bring to users." As a company that provides entertainment projects, it is the most important thing for Nintendo to surprise and have fun for players. If we can find a Nintendo-like way of expressing it, and it's very easy for players to understand, then we'll consider moving into the metaverse..."
Nowadays, many game companies have expressed concern for meta-universes and NFTs, such as Epic, EA, Ubisoft and even Bandai Namco and Square Enix, which are also Japanese companies. As for whether this is a revolution in the game industry or an investment gimmick of cutting leeks with virtual currency, it is difficult to make a conclusion at present. For us players, keeping your wallet is probably the most important thing.
Capcom released a week-long countdown yesterday that ends around February 21, and there is no clear indication of what it really stands for.
Since the countdown coincides with the final of Capcom's Street Fighter Pro Tour, many people speculate that Capcom is ready to release Street Fighter 6, after all, showing Street Fighter 6 to fans around the world at the moment when the professional tour atmosphere reaches its peak is certainly a good choice.
2022 marks the 35th anniversary of the Street Fighter series. Capcom has previously said it will somehow commemorate the occasion, and earlier this year they unveiled a new Logo for Street Fighter to celebrate "35 years of epic battles, swing punches and iconic confrontation scenes."
Of course, another segment of Capcom fans still hold out hope for Resident Evil 4 Remake, which could be the new DLC of Resident Evil: Village, as they think it's more in line with the overall visual vibe of the Countdown site.
In Reddit's Capcom section, netizens' speculation is even more marginal, with works such as Dragon's Creed 2, Pragmata, Monster Hunter and other works appearing in turn, and even "Deep Pit" has been planed out (this work has been silent since the official announcement in 2013). The editors of PC Gamer think none of these options are as reliable as Street Fighter 6, but the interesting thing about this countdown is that you'll never know what it represents until the last second.
Recently, Platinum Studio CEO Inaba Atsushi said in an interview with foreign media VGC that Platinum Studio will not oppose the possibility of being acquired by others in the future, but the premise is to be able to retain its own free creative rights.
Inaba said: "Regarding these recent acquisitions... I don't think Microsoft is going to start managing Activision Blizzard 'meticulously' and thus depriving them of all their freedom, and they shouldn't be in a relationship like that. Both parties to the transaction should respect each other. Activision Blizzard can continue to do what they do best, and that premise is important to Platinum Studios... As long as our free creative rights can be guaranteed, Platinum Studio will not refuse any form of acquisition in the future. Incidentally, we rarely see Japanese game companies embark on acquisition plans. I personally think it's weird, but I think it's time for Japan's big game companies to find some new partners. ”
Of course, Platinum Studio's list of potential acquirers is quite luxurious, with Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo and even big conglomerates such as Tencent and NetEase among them. In addition, Platinum Studios does have ambitious plans, their game projects will turn to self-release, and the new works "Solar Fighter" and "Babylon's Fall" are also very exciting.
AMD recently announced that President and CEO Lisa Su will add another AMD Chairman title to her impressive resume, while former Board Chairman John E. Caldwell will serve as AMD's Lead Independent Director.
Caldwell wrote in the announcement, "Under Dr. Sue's leadership, AMD has efficiently executed its long-term strategy, reshaped the company's product portfolio and customer base, and delivered industry-leading growth. In the future, as CEO and Chairman, Dr. Su will drive AMD to create greater value. ”
AMD doesn't stop there. Not long ago, AMD spent $49.8 billion to acquire semiconductor manufacturer Xilinx, hoping to expand its product portfolio and solve the global chip shortage. It is worth noting that the official announcement of this news was released after Nvidia failed to acquire ARM due to "major regulatory challenges", and it seems that this wave of AMD has won a small victory.
Last year, Dr. Su was optimistic about the chip shortage, and also hoped that NVIDIA and AMD would come up with a solution as soon as possible, and the market players would be blue.
