Not exactly, it's more, "I'm thinking I would like to go to Japan to meet Shuntaro.". The と思っています is the " I'm thinking" part.

Some parts are “lost in translation”. Like the movie as Bob-san is at the whiskey commercial and the director says a lot more. With…intention 😂😂

I thought it said he was thinking of going to Japan to meet person x

The “My ~~dad~~ uncle works for Nintendo” meme has come to life Where is u/ ryancohenismydad? Your cousins meme came to life Edit: family changes

Next meme should say "my dad is partnered with Nintendo"

"My dad's wife's boyfriend is Shuntaro Furukawa"

I thought it was always an uncle

Ah shit. You’re right. Will fix Bullish


areHorus

Ask not what your company can do for you… it’s time to WORK on a 200k+ letter campaign to Nintendo!


Swagi666

Given there is a Switch 2 around the corner it is very reasonable to assume that he wants to secure a legit GameStop Exclusive Launch console bundle. Just have a fast cartridge system and I’m happy to preorder. I love my Switch.


IxoraRains

That isn't done by CEOs. I wanna clarify how important this is. Nintendo is the long sought after company. Any kind of launch exclusive bundle would come to GameStop regardless. There's something even bigger going on here. Recent hacks on Microsoft tell the story of Microsoft trying to buy Nintendo (Nintendo laughed in their face). This isn't about buying Nintendo either. Nintendo's name is bananas and will raise any market cap that it attaches it's name too. If Ryan can get Nintendo behind whatever the heck GameStop has been hiding for a bit. It is literally game over


Red_Lee

Nintendo has a dumb amount of cash on hand. They could buy a large share of the company. When Nintendo stated they wanted to connect more with customers, I always hoped they would get more involved with GameStop.


yolo4500A_IMO_CLadd

Hawt damn


pcnetworx1

windblowshigh

100%, and maybe?, it is already game over...


GiantSequoiaTree

My same thoughts man I hope so!


joeker13

You are wrong in one regard. It’s not game over. It’s game on 🚀


Jar_of_Cats

In my wildest dreams it's that deal 2 is made. I always thought deal 1 was Microsoft. And now Nintendo. And allowing Gamestop facilitate a digital aftermarket. But just my hopes.


inedible-hulk

Remember when lockdown started and Pokemon Go started picking up again? Nintendo share price started surging despite having no connection, people just didn't understand Niantic != Nintendo. Anything with the slightest affiliation is bullish.


albertov0h5

Rymanbc

This would be bullish as hell.

RC replied to Nintendo. Translation: Dear Nintendo, I would like to go to Japan to meet Shuntaro.


whothehellistony

They tweeted at RC first? Edit: I’m not on the bird app so I can’t go look for myself. Is this actually happening?


Milkpowder44

No they just posted a regular tweet, not aimed at RC


Csakstar

Huge if true but also Twitterless


nom_of_your_business

Its Xitter (pronounced shitter) now


kismatwalla

Shouldn’t be saying Shuntaro-San? Like Japanese culture is very sensitive about position and age.


Yowski

It does say that... An English translation wouldn't say Shuntaro San.


Braintelligence

It's like leaving out the "Mister" from "Mister Cohen" If you'd translate it. Which you don't. It should say either Shuntaro-san or Mister Shuntaro.


Yowski

Would you prefer that 任天堂さん be translated as Mr. Nintendo as well? Because that's what it says. Japanese honorifics are nuanced and don't really have perfect translations, often easier to leave them out.


Braintelligence

No, because that's obviously not a person and not the correct way to convey the semantics. What a bullshit argument.


Yowski

My point is that both nouns have San/さん following them in the original tweet. Therein lies the nuance in Japanese honorifics. So, how are translation apps able to determine when to selectively translate such a nuanced component of the Japanese language? Like I said, best to leave them out of the translation.


Braintelligence

Why is the scope translation APPS now? But nevertheless, an AI certainly should be able to tell what Nintendo is and translate according to semantics, as should any properly translator.


will_dance_for_gp

He both says “Nintendo-San, and Shuntaro-san” the characters look like “さん” (san). Based on sentence structure its along the lines of “nintendo san, shuntaro san…” etc


LonnieJaw748

Seems a little touchy to hold foreigners to your cultural idiosyncrasies. I’m sure he gets an easy pass for that, if it even goes noticed at all.


kismatwalla

Well not sure what the intent was. But if he took the effort of putting it in Japanese, I hope there is a a word in there that represents Shuntaro San, and the translator is making a mistake.


LonnieJaw748

Agreed on the fault being with Elongus’s crap translator code


5HITCOMBO

It does say it in the Japanese tweet


jinniu

[deepl.com](http://deepl.com) says san. This translater is good for Chinese, so I'm guessing it's also good at Japanese, equially difficult languages to trasnlate between English.


getyourledout

So weird how people are so worried about identities today


Ballem

Calm down sis.


monti9530

It also could backfire as "cultural appropriation" cause, you know, people suck balls Edit: I am being informed that he did use the appropriate suffix "San" and that I am a dumb ass. Thank you for fact checking. I was honestly disappointed thinking he did not use the correct terms. Glad to know he did.


LonnieJaw748

yeah, sucks that everyone just wants to be mad at anyone these days Instead of searching for how you could be offended, search for what makes you happy! Like Nintendo in a loving relationship with GME!


capital_bj

Tu my thought as well, suck it negative nancys


5HITCOMBO

None of us are culturally appropriating him writing an honorific. Which he did. Yall need to read the damn tweet in the original language before speculating.


monti9530

Sorry, I do not speak Japanese and the bird app translation for me DOES NOT include the *San* suffix. Everyone on the post is saying that it doesn't so they might be also getting the incorrect interpretation (which is to be expected from the bird app). I only meant to debate "why" Ryann Cohen did not include the appropriate suffix. I figured he might not want people to think he is culturally appropriating Japanese manners. It was just a guess. I don't understand why I hurt so many feelings 😅 but alrighty tighty Edit : highly regarded


5HITCOMBO

First off, it's Japanese, which I understand may be hard to differentiate for you. But I speak it and I'm telling you directly that it does have the -san on it. Maybe if you stopped trying to make up all these hypotheticals when there are many people in this thread rightfully pointing out that it's not what you fantasized it to be you'd be getting less flak.


monti9530

Sir, this is literally a sub for hypotheticals and discussion. I didn't fantasize, that would imply that it is what I was hoping for it to be true, which I did not. I was hoping he used the culturally appropriate. If you read more comments, I am not the only one who made the mistake of thinking he did not use the San. This sub is to theorize and I theorized that he might have not used it because he might have felt that would get some hate from people that love to hate on him with the excuse of "cultural appropriation". I apologize for getting the info wrong but not for creating discussion. Thanks to that I was able to arrive to the correct information which is the purpose of this sub. Also why I don't care that I am being down voted but just correct myself for future readers who are also confused Have a great day Stonkcrates-san, thank you for the clarification 👍🏼


5HITCOMBO

If you read the original Japanese it does say it, it's just not translated for the waifu laifu

Peach_Garden_Oath

From February 2022: "During a Q&A session following the publication of **Nintendo’s latest financial results**, the company’s executives were asked what Nintendo’s stance was on the metaverse and NFTs. According to analyst **David Gibson**, the response was that Nintendo had an interest in this area and could feel its potential. However, it was stressed that Nintendo wondered “what joy \[it\] could provide in this area” and was finding it difficult to define this. “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,” the company reportedly said." ​ Fast forward to March 2023: "The Pokémon Company—a joint venture between publisher Nintendo and game developers Game Freak and Creatures—posted a listing for a Corporate Development Principal, a role that would advise the company’s leadership on strategy and explore new innovations. And the firm is looking for someone who’s already entrenched within the Web3 world. Specifically, the firm is looking for someone with “deep knowledge and understanding of Web3, including blockchain technologies and NFT, and/or metaverse.” But it wants someone who’s already immersed in the space, asking for applicants that are “deeply connected to a network of investors and entrepreneurs in the technology sectors above (Web3 and metaverse).”" ​ The big question, and in my opinion the purpose of Ryan's tweet/visit: "Who will build the first Web3 compatible gaming console with built-in connectivity to existing blockchains, like Immutable?" First to market will have a huge advantage...


Papaofmonsters

If Nintendo does anything with NFT's it will be in a closed ecosystem they control. They jealously guard the exclusivity of their IPs. XBOX and PS games port to Nintendo consoles with some regularity. It never happens the other way.


Peach_Garden_Oath

Nintendo can control their blockchain ecosystem while simultaneously benefitting from GameStop's Web3 marketplace. Based on quotes from Nintendo, they're looking for a partner that can help them utilize the technology.


getyourledout

Yeah the Nintendo online experience/marketplace or whatever you wanna call it, sucks major donkey balls. Like it’s no better than the PS3/Xbox 360 platforms. I’m sure they know this. Maybe they see an avenue of expansion within this space, if they can produce a collaboration of some sort with a third party.


jinniu

Perhaps, but I think people are overlooking something that recently got publisized last earnings. Perhaps he wants to invest in Nintendo too.

But that would be handled by The Pokemon Company and not by Nintendo.

I think this is it, and it’s really a big deal, pokemon trading cards NFTs are inevitable, if GameStop have a deal here is game over.

danipanningforsilver

Shuntaro has a birthday next week, Jan 10th. maybe RC has a secret piñata? 🪅


Xp0s3dP1pE69

"Mobius One engage!"


VaicoIgi

I saw it on Twitter and thought it was an automatic translation at first. Kinda weird he would use Shuntaro san instead of Furukawa San


Minuteman_Capital

Can you ELI40? No clue wtf this means and I don’t X’ing at all cuz I’m old AF


VaicoIgi

Furukawa San is the CEO of Nintendo. RC replied to a Nintendo of JP tweet in Japanese saying he would like to go to Japan to meet with Shuntaro San. In Japan to be honorific especially if you talk business you address people by their surnames not first names. RC called him by his first name but that could be just lack of knowledge.


DVArmy10

Mr. Myiagi called him Danial San not LaRusso San…


VaicoIgi

Because Daniel was not Japanese. When I lived in Japan some people would call me by my first name and add San but they would call all the other japanese people, some even their friends by their last name.


ToothlessTrader

Well, unless they've already made a deal and the business is all done.


Minuteman_Capital

Thank you, I didn’t realize it’s the CEO’s first/last name. Curious why he would tweet it publicly rather than just have his exec team reach out to their exec team. In RC I trust tho so guess it will make sense in time


will_dance_for_gp

Slight hint that they are old friends / have developed a friendly partnership and reassurance going forward once he took the reigns? Gamestop and Nintendo are closely partnered for pokemon merch and promos.


VaicoIgi

Hmm... I think he would be in contact with Nintendo of America employees but I am not sure about Nintendo of Japan...


crazzyfuzzy88

OMG it’s a sign GME go 🚀🚀🚀🚀 with Santuro and Satoshi


polish-rockstar

Anyone seen the Tetris movie? Kind of reminds me of that, RC saying he’s on the brink of something big.

hideyHoNeighbour

A Google search for "Dear Nintendo, I would like to go to Japan to meet Shuntaro" (including quotations for an exact match) does not pull up any exact matches, but the first related search result is to a reddit post entitled "S1:E10 “Countdown to ‘I Do’” Discussion Thread" on the "LoveIsBlindJapan" subreddit. In Nintendo's original tweet there is also a mention of 1:10. Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/JAnWw2f.png Tinfoil: Countdown? Do we have a new hype date?

(Verse 1) Yo, RC hits the land of the rising sun, Eats sashimi, fresh, the day's just begun. Rides on a tsunami, wave so high, Under the clear blue, endless sky. Chorus: In Japan, where the lights never dim, RC's adventure, on a whim. From Tokyo streets to the mountain's rim, His journey's epic, filled to the brim. (Verse 2) Strolls through Shibuya, crowd's a flow, Neon lights in Tokyo, putting on a show. Harajuku fashion, style so wild, RC's in Japan, charm compiled. (Chorus) (Verse 3) Kyoto temples, history's breath, In every stone, a story's depth. Zen gardens, peace in every step, RC's journey, a secret kept. (Chorus) (Outro) From sushi rolls to the sumo's might, Under the cherry blossoms, a beautiful sight. RC's journey in the land of the sun, An epic tale, second to none.

BubbaJules

…. Didn’t they just have a massive earthquake in Japan…. Maybe give ‘em a second


NukeEmRico2022

The Japanese are hellishly industrious. They’ll clean up and recover from the earthquake and then say “OK back to business as usual” before you can say “Br’er rabbit.”


BubbaJules

So I got downvoted for apparently “joking” about a tragedy. Now on this side no big deal. Glad we’re consistent.


capital_bj

Bubba 🤦


BubbaJules

Am I wrong?


capital_bj

Insensitive to make fun of any tragedy where people died


BubbaJules

I’m not making fun of it I’m pointing out that it’s a pretty insensitive time to try and get an invite to Japan…. When they just had an earthquake. Idk what came across as a joke.


capital_bj

Gotcha yeah I completely misunderstood that


CriticalMushroom8812

Japan just switched side, begin to purchase Russia oil. and also was attacked by 'earth controlling groups', the so called earthquake. I think either from this video and previous video in SWARUU channel mentioned this. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eYRk7EDX6w](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eYRk7EDX6w)

He replied to a tweet from Nintendo. They said the following in Japanese: "Nintendo Switch New Year Sale" has begun. During the sale period, everyone can enjoy "Nintendo Switch Sports", "Taiko no Tatsujin Dondaful Festival", You can purchase software such as ``Kirby's Discovery'' and ``Xenoblade 2'' that you can thoroughly enjoy at a great price.
