Nintendo snuck a secret tribute to Satoru Iwata in the Switch. It includes a special version of the NES game Golf, and is unlocked with a special hand gesture. People who were tinkering around with the Switch's firmware found it out, and now the secret is out there. Does Nintendo have anything to say on the matter? Here's what Reggie Fils-Aime commented.
“So, two comments on this. It was identified by folks playing around in the firmware. We’ve got nothing officially to announce for that content or what the plans are for that content. So that’s that. Certainly anything that pays respect to my friend Mr. Iwata is something that is near and dear to me personally, but in terms of that execution and what it was meant to do or what the plans are, we’ve got nothing to announce.
I’m struck whenever I go back to Kyoto and spend time in our headquarters and spend time in the offices where Mr. Iwata, myself and others would be meeting. It’s always personally touching. And so, again, no comment on that particular execution.”
It seems like Nintendo either isn't ready to talk about this, or doesn't plan to talk about it at all. It certainly seems like Mr. Fils-Aime wanted to drop the conversation, and I understand that. It's a tough subject to discuss.
