Video game companies have to deal with a lot of things behind the scenes, and one story that’s recently come to light isn’t pleasant at all.<\/p>\n

According to a translation by Nintendo Everything, Japanese media outlet Kyoto Shimbun reports the arrest of a “36-year-old female permatemp on suspicion of intimidation” on 9th February 2023 for allegedly sending death threats to a Nintendo executive in June last year.<\/p>\n

It’s unclear who exactly was targeted at the Kyoto-based headquarters, but a package sent by the suspect supposedly contained a bag of incense and some alarming documents.<\/p>\n

One of the messages attached reportedly included notes like “I’ll kill you” and “Die Nintendo!”, and made reference to a specific date. According to local police, the suspect has apparently never met the Nintendo executive and there’s believed to be “no personal hatred”.<\/p>\n

Nintendo hasn’t publicly commented on the incident at this point in time, but if we hear any developments, we’ll update you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
