Japan: Police have arrested suspect behind Nintendo Live Tokyo 2024 threats

Kyoto-based daily newspaper Kyoto Shimbun is reporting today that the person responsible for the cancelation of Nintendo Live Tokyo 2024 due to online threats has now been arrested by police. The individual is in his 20s and is a local public servant in the Ibaraki Prefecture, just northeast of Tokyo, and is accused of obstructing Nintendo’s business. Nintendo has yet to say when the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Online Challenge Final Stage, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe World Championship 2024, and Splatoon 3 World Championship 2024 will be rescheduled.
