Nintendo death threats suspect charged by Japanese police
The man arrested for sending death threats to Nintendo – which resulted in the cancellation of Nintendo Live Tokyo earlier this year – has reportedly been charged by Japanese police.
As reported by Japanese newspaper Kyoto Shimbun (thanks VGC), the 27-year-old man, a resident of Hitachi city in Japan’s Ibaraki Prefecture, has been charged with the forcible obstruction of business after sending 39 threats using the inquiry form on Nintendo’s website.
Kyoto Shimbun (via Google Translate) says the unnamed man wrote the threats between 22nd August and 29th November last year, sending messages including, “I’m going to make you regret releasing such a crappy game to the world” and “I’m going to kill everyone involved.”
