Is this someone who lost at Splatoon a lot and went insane over it?? Either that or a political/controversial game but I can't think of any Nintendo made recently.

Either way this idiot is deluded and I'm glad they have charged him
 
Some dudes are really weird over Splatoon apparently. Remember, there was that guy that disrupted the investor QNA a while back ranting about how the Splatoon 3 victory emotes were too feminine or something

"Why is this kid-friendly competitive multiplayer game not for me, specifically?!"

Unfortunately, Splatoon can be seen as "political" thanks to its large LGBT+ fanbase. It's dumb. If I have to read the words "As a straight person," one more time I'll go ballistic.
 
With what happened at Kyoto Animation and Abe in recent years, it made sense for Nintendo to take this guy seriously. People are unhinged and will actually kill people over stuff like this.

Don't discount the idea it could have been Everybody's 1-2 Switch.

As unfortunate as the situation was, it was best they cancel the event. If this person was serious, they could have created a serious tragedy.

Glad they’ve been caught.
 
Imagine seeing something political in Splatoon. A game asking you to choose between Baby Chicks, Li'l Bunnies or Bear Cubs.
