There’s no other video game company quite like Nintendo, and the same seems to be true for its fans. One reportedly spent roughly $3,500 on company stock to disrupt the most recent shareholder meeting and apparently rant about the lack of male hairstyle customization options. in splatoon 3. Nintendo president Shunturo Furukawa tried to get him to stop, but he kept complaining about “cold treatment from splatoon Children.”
The alleged incident was first reported by Twitter user NStyles who live tweeted the Mario maker’s 2023 annual shareholder meeting (as first seen by YES Videogames). According to a Twitter translation of the play-by-play, the Splatoon 3 fan asked why children weren’t being respected in the game, Furukawa said the question took too long, the fan followed, and finally, the Nintendo president followed. forward. thanking the fan for his interest in playing the company’s games.
About an hour later, Twitter user Haruikatako claimed responsibility for the outburst in a thread detailing his gambling problems and how he managed to get into the shareholder meeting in the first place. In addition to a copy of the comments, she even shared an apparent mockup showing how the customization options for the male Inklings were lacking compared to the female ones.
“I sent letters to Nintendo many times, but it didn’t seem to get better,” a The Twitter translation of the thread reads. “When I bought stocks, I was always short of tens of thousands of dollars, and my parents told me not to get involved in consumer finance.” The fan said that he proceeded to resell OLED switches to try to earn enough to buy the necessary shares to get a spot at the annual meeting.
As outrageous as it is for someone to go after real-world cash just so they can complain in person about a video game, it’s especially strange given that splatoon 3 it has the strongest Inkling customization options in the entire series. It is the first to allow players to mix and match various looks and styles instead of locking some behind specific genres. And I mean, the Inklings are mutated squid children. I can’t even begin to process what it would mean to not have styles specifically coded as youthful in splatoon 3.
Wild fan stunts aside, the game has continued to receive a steady stream of new updates and still has some more major DLC on the wayincluding new single player content that will apparently have some new gameplay twists.
