Man arrested for alleged threats against Nintendo
A 25-year old man was arrested for threatening to kill two Nintendo executives. Back in May the suspect is said to have used his home computer to submit an online inquiry threatening to kill two named Nintendo executives “sooner or later.”
The two executives’ names have not been released.
Earlier today the police were able to make an arrest by tracking the suspects IP address back to his home. Authorities claim the suspect has admitted to his actions.
According to authorities the suspect has made similar threats in the past, like “I’d planted bombs at Nintendo headquarters, tomorrow afternoon they’re going to blow up, Nintendo go bankrupt.”
Police are investigating any connection to similar threats placed this past September.

“The man’s anger is believed to have stemmed from a lack of Mario titles during the Wii U system’s launch.”

I know plenty of people are angry and/or disappointed from the lack of games on the Wii U (let alone Mario games), but this just goes TOO far.
