According to the Kyoto Shimbun, police have made an arrest followings threats tied to the cancelled Nintendo Live Tokyo 2024 event.
Nintendo Live 2024 Tokyo, which would have taken place this past January, was cancelled at the start of December. The suspect made “persistent threats” against employees as well as participants ahead of the Splatoon Koshien 2023 finals. Nintendo Live Tokyo 2024 was cancelled as a precautionary measure.
The man who has been arrested was not named. However, it’s been reported that he’s in his twenties and is a local civil servant from the Ibaraki Prefecture.
The suspect was arrested after sending death threats through Nintendo’s enquiry form on its website. Because of repeated threats sent through that form, he’s been accused of obstructing the company’s business. As of now it’s unclear what his motives were.
