Nintendo Shares Message To Fans After Being Voted Favorite Developer In Famitsu
Famitsu (Japanese gaming magazine) recently celebrated its 40th anniversary and as part of the occasion they held a survey. After Nintendo won the favorite developer category, they shared the following message which has been translated by Nintendo Everything:
"Thank you for choosing Nintendo as the No. 1 “Game Developer I Like”. We are also extremely happy that Mario and The Legend of Zelda have been received favorably. Ever since the Famicom (NES) was released in 1983, we have created chances for many to give video games a try, and we are grateful to Famitsu for keeping customers excited and supporting us across those 40 years.
During these 40 years, technology related to game development has evolved, and the environment has changed as well, but we have continued to keep “originality” as our central theme, going through trial and error and learning many things while creating entertainment with the goal of putting smiles on customers’ faces. If this 40-year-long path has become a part of everyone’s memories, there is nothing that would make us happier. Nintendo will continue to challenge various things, aiming for unique entertainment that only we could produce, and work hard towards that goal. We shall continue to be in your care from now on.
Finally, in celebration of 40 years of Famitsu, we hope to continue developing a mutually beneficial partnership in keeping the gaming industry lively."
