Nintendo, a century-old Japanese company, focuses on video game development, the true paradise in the hearts of countless gamers, and its "net red" IP includes but is not limited to old acquaintance Mario, Ivy Zelda, countless Pokémon around, and Animal Forest, who has brainwashed the editor.

In addition, Nintendo has been able to cover generations of game options, from red and white machines to switch, all from its handiwork. Nintendo has sold more than 4.5 billion copies of gaming software and more than 720 million home and handheld consoles worldwide.

And today I want to talk about a hardcore Nintendo fan, whose behavior is also the "extreme" of the chasing industry - in order to urge more favorite games, this fan directly angrily dumped tens of thousands of shares in Nintendo.

According to reports, on the 29th of this month, at Nintendo's annual shareholder meeting, Nintendo President Xuntaro Furukawa received a special investor call asking whether the company would consider relaunching some game series that have been loved by fans for many years but have been discontinued, especially the F-Zero series.

F-Zero is a sci-fi racing game released by Nintendo in 1990, more than 15 years after the release of the previous version of the series. As a result, the issue caught the attention of fans who are also eager for F-Zero to return in the future.
The Nintendo "new shareholder" tweeted to Momiji, who told interviewers about "complaints" about F-Zero's few series:
Momiji
"I started playing Nintendo games since I was a kid and was a die-hard fan," he said, "and I don't think F-Zero is fast enough." ”
As a result, Momiji invested in more than 5 million yen (about $40,000) of Nintendo stock, which gave him the opportunity to ask Nintendo directly about F-Zero and its future.

But Momiji told interviewers that even if he had bought enough shares to get the chance to attend the shareholders' meeting, he could hardly guarantee that he would have the opportunity to ask questions. He later confirmed to Nintendo insiders that asking questions was an "added bonus" and that it would take 100 or more shares to participate in these annual shareholders' meetings to qualify.

After being asked about F-Zero, Nintendo President Furukawa responded to fans' questions in a timely manner:
Kotaro Furukawa
"It's actually hard to do that we can develop a new series or remake for every Nintendo game that people ask for, including making a sequel, but we're very grateful and grateful to our fans for what they expect from our game."
Shinnya Takahashi, CEO of Nintendo, gave a more optimistic answer without making any commitments:
Takahashi Nobuya
"At the 79th General Meeting of Shareholders in 2019, we were asked if there were any plans to remake the Family Detective Club series, which happened to be planned at the time. This can serve as an example of some older games that we have in actively developing or remake. ”
Takahashi explained that Nintendo cannot guarantee that there will be any plans to remake a particular game in the future. However, during the production process, they are often thinking about how to bring more enjoyment to players in a variety of different ways.
For the fan's approach and its results, Chinese and American netizens have also given interesting and sharp comments.
"I've read it."
"Speak with money."
"Thank you brother (๑•̀ᄇ•́)و✧"
"This is the hero!! The old man is too much to whine."
