“We have always been listening, but maybe people weren’t aware.”
If there’s one person that knows the conventional wisdom of ‘Nintendo doesn’t get the internet’ isn’t quite true, it’s Shelly Pearce.
The 14 year veteran of Nintendo – a decade of that spent as European comms boss – has a wealth of experience managing Nintendo’s reputation, and keeping track of what people have said about the company. Whether it’s the breakthroughs of the N64, the GBA boom, the GameCube’s struggle, or the genuine ground-breaking moments for Wii and DS – Pearce has seen it all, heard it all.", writes MCV.

Nintendo completed its share repurchase and set its secondary offering price at 8,347 yen ahead of March 16 delivery.

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.
