Fire Reported At Nintendo's Japanese Headquarters

1_2pHy3PFm0SWlfIdqEietxg.png


Emergency services in Japan have responded to a fire at Nintendo's HQ in Minami-ku, Kyoto, local media outlet NHK reports.

The fire was reported at 1pm local time 15th Aug. The police have said the fire broke out on the 3rd floor of the building with damage mostly being confined to one room. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported at the time of writing.

Eight fire engines arrived at the scene but by the time they got there Nintendo employees had already extinguished the fire. The fire brigade are currently still on the scene investigating the cause of the fire but early findings suggest the cause may have been a faulty phone charger.

Thank god things never turned out more serious for the big N and all its employees.

Heh. I would have thought the misdirection (this being that) and speed (that being the heist happening at the same time) would have been out by now. Guess Nintendo is closing ranks.

Nintendo wants to take some of that insurance money.. Otherwise they will be seeing them on court.

Crazy how the government will toss you 8 fire trucks to extinguish a small fire if you have the money. Reminds me of the time some random asshole from Italy was robbed and the mayor ordered all the police from the area to keep an eye on his mansion. Shows how money talks everywhere.

Bowser escaped? Is he the cause of this ruckus? I also learned that both Nintendo's arch nemesis (Gary) Bowser and N's new CEO is (Doug) Bowser... like seriously?

It was Mario. He was angry because he hasn't starred in a good game in a while.View attachment 322849
It's been, what, years? Odyssey was "good", yeah, but nothing more than that. Before that...what, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story 3D? Dream Team? Super Mario 3D Land? Super Paper Mario and Super Mario 64 DS? Those all happened long ago, with nothing really worthwhile or enjoyable coming out in-between.
