There’s no other video game company as good as Nintendo, and the same seems to be true of its fans. One of them reportedly spent about $3,500 on company stock to interrupt the latest stockholders’ meeting and seemingly rant about the lack of options for customizing a man’s haircut In Splatoon 3. Nintendo President Shunturo Furukawa tried to get him to quit but kept complaining about the “cold treatment of”. splatoon Boys.”
The alleged incident was first reported by Twitter user NStyles who live-tweeted the Mario Maker’s 2023 Annual General Meeting (as first discovered by VGC). According to a Twitter translation of the play-by-play, the Splatoon 3 fan asked why boys were being disrespected in the game. Furukawa said the question took too long, the fan moved on, and finally the president of Nintendo moved on by thanking the fan for their interest in playing the company’s games.
About an hour later, Twitter user Haruikatako claimed responsibility for the outbreak in a thread detailing his issues with the game and how he was able to attend the shareholders’ meeting in the first place. In addition to a copy of the remarks, he even shared an apparent model showing the male Inklings’ lack of customization compared to the females.
“I’ve sent Nintendo letters a lot, but it didn’t seem to be doing any better,” he said The Twitter translation of the thread is. “When I bought stocks, I was always missing tens of thousands of dollars, and my parents asked me not to get involved in consumer finance.” The fan said he resold OLED switches to make enough money to buy the stocks you could buy needed to secure a seat at the annual meeting.
As outrageous as it is that someone would wrestle for real money just to be able to personally complain about a video game, it’s that special strange considering that Splatoon 3 features the most extensive Inkling customization options of the entire series. It’s the first game to allow players to mix and match different looks and styles, rather than pinning certain ones down to specific genders. And I mean, the Inklings are mutated squid kids. I can’t even begin to imagine what it would mean if styles specifically coded as “boyish” were missing Splatoon 3.
Wild fan stunts aside, the game has continued to receive and has continued to receive a steady stream of new updates some more big DLCs are on the wayincluding new single player content that appears to be coming some new gameplay twists.
