After the numerous announcements of the Nintendo Direct of February 8, let’s go back to talking about the Kyoto house for issues that don’t directly have to do with video games. Apparently, a big shot in the company has received death threats.
According to reports from Kyoto Shimbun and translated by Nintendo Everything, Thursday, February 9 the Kyoto Prefectural Police arrested a thirty-six-year-old woman with the accusation of having sent death threats to a Nintendo executive. According to the reconstruction of the facts, last June the suspect would have sent to the headquarters of the company in southern Kyoto a package containing a bag of incense and a threatening letter with a date written on it and phrases such as “I will kill you” And “Die Nintendo”.
According to Japanese police spokesmen, the executive who received the package and the woman they have never met in their lives, a detail that has therefore led the investigators to exclude the existence of personal problems that could serve as a motive. The executive’s identity has not been revealed, while Nintendo has preferred not to make any statements on the matter, so at the moment we are unable to provide you with further information on the matter.
Moving on to issues “corporate” certainly more related to consoles and video games, Nintendo recently announced that Switch has reached 122 million units sold, a milestone that has allowed it to surpass PlayStation 4 and Game Boy in the chart of best-selling consoles of all time.
