Satpru Shibata

You may recall that Nintendo of Europe president Satoru Shibata delivered a holiday message to close out 2015. Today, he’s done something similar for 2016.

Shibata recaps the year that was Nintendo. The likes of Pokemon GO, the NES Classic Edition, and even Mario at the Olympics were all mentioned.

Continue on below for Shibata’s full message.

Hello everyone! This is Satoru Shibata from Nintendo of Europe.

I would like to thank you all for once again giving Nintendo your support over the past year.

For me personally, it has been even more exciting working at Nintendo than usual!

The first highlight was the launch of YO-KAI WATCH, which was well received in Europe and enjoyed by many people. I was happy to be able to make you all smile with my Yo-kai dance, which I practised for three days before the Nintendo Direct.
