Nintendo says they\u2019re interested in creating NFTs, but there\u2019s a catch NintendoAs Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) become ever more present in the gaming world, Nintendo have revealed that they\u2019re looking into NFTs, but have questioned how exactly they can do it. Despite backlash from some gamers over the slow bleed of NFTs into gaming, brands and organizations in the space continue to find ways to utilize the growing technology into their work. While a Ubisoft exec was berated for claiming gamers \u201cdon\u2019t understand\u201d NFTs, after the announcement of Ubisoft Quarts and esports organization 100 Thieves launched their own free NFT, there are still multiple questions over the practice \u2014 and there\u2019ll be even more now. During a Q&A session, Nintendo spoke briefly about NFTs, and the anti-NFT crowd might want to stop reading. Following the publication of Nintendo\u2019s latest financial results for the fiscal year, the company hosted a Q&A session and were asked about their position on NFTs and the metaverse. Analyst David Gibson posted a series of tweets, all with Nintendo\u2019s answers to whichever questions they were asked regarding the state of the business. When asked about their thoughts on NFTs and the metaverse, they reportedly said: \u201cWe do have interest in this area, we feel the potential in this area, but we wonder what joy we can provide in this area and this is difficult to define right now.\u201d Q) How think about metaverse and NFT? A) We do have interest in this area, we feel the potential in this area, but we wonder what joy we can provide in this area and this is difficult to define right now (hey Facebook etc take note!!) 8\/\u2014 David Gibson (@gibbogame) February 3, 2022 The idea of using NFTs to \u201cbring joy\u201d to their consumer base is perhaps the most Nintendo response possible, so it will be interesting to see how they choose to tackle the space should they make the move, especially considering the backlash they likely know they\u2019ll receive. It doesn\u2019t seem as though NFTs are in Nintendo\u2019s immediate plans, but don\u2019t be surprised to see them pop up in the months or years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
