There hasn’t been a new F-Zero in almost two decades. Most fans have made peace with the possibility that a series revival is unlikely, but one bought over $40,000 of Nintendo stock to ask executives about what’s going on with F-Zero.
A report by Business Insider states that the Nintendo fan spent 5.6 million Japanese yen (roughly $40,000 USD) on 100 shares back in February. He didn’t do this all willy-nilly either – the goal was to ask executives about F-Zero’s future. During an annual shareholder on Wednesday, the fan did precisely that. Asking Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa if there were any plans for a franchise revival at the company. VGC then went on to translate his response.
