During Nintendo’s latest financial results briefing, company president Shuntaro Furukawa talked about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate:
I often watch tournaments for games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Splatoon 2. I heard that one video-sharing website recently showed onscreen user comments that made fun of contestants, and that the contestants expressed discomfort with that. In some tournaments, inappropriate comments are deleted, but does Nintendo do anything about this?
Furukawa: I prefer not to comment on the details of how we deal with specific situations, but we will continue working to make our game tournaments even more appealing to everyone. Those efforts include addressing the matter that you bought up.
Shinya Takahashi (Director, Senior Managing Executive Officer):
E3 was held in Los Angeles for three days starting June 11. Prior to E3, we hosted tournaments for Super Mario Maker 2, Splatoon 2, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. We showed three main titles at this year’s E3: Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, Luigi’s Mansion 3, and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, and other software publishers exhibited a number of titles in addition to these. Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield and Luigi’s Mansion 3 were exhibited like theme park attractions, and in the case of Luigi’s Mansion 3, people could not see anything from outside of the display booth. Entering it was like stepping into a re-creation of the game world, which everyone loved. Our booth was a very exciting place and everyone was just as enthusiastic as in other years.
