What is particularly interesting is that our colleagues from Business Insider have contacted the shareholder in question, and it turns out to be Momiji. Based in Japan, he explained to them that last February he bought around 100 Nintendo shares for a total value of 5.6 million yen (just over €40,000). This expense – financed by the sale of shares of another company – opened the doors to the famous annual meeting, without having the guarantee of being able to ask a question. It was kind of the icing on the cake. “I’ve been playing Nintendo games since I was littlehe told Business Insider. I love that feeling of speed in F-Zero.“
In his paper, our colleague adds that he inquired with a representative of the company, and indeed, the entry ticket to participate in Nintendo’s annual meeting does indeed correspond to the investment made by Momiji. Anyway, F-Zero has been in the garage for 18 years now (the last episode to date is F-Zero: Climax released in 2004 on Game Boy Advance), and purists are seriously beginning to wonder if they will have the chance to witness the return of the license during their lifetime.
In the meantime, we remind you that the excellent F-Zero X is in the catalog of Nintendo Switch Online + Additional Pack. A way like any other to wait for a possible miracle.
