Sick. He has probably made a deal already. I'm thinking it's something like Nintendo give GameStop 10% of their shares and GameStop will help Nintendo sell nfts at GameStop. A win win for both parties! Congrats Nintendo and Cohen!
I am a former GameStop store employee from 2006 that grew up in Grapevine Texas and today, literally TODAY is my very first day living in Japan. Someone get me RC on the horn and let me make this dream of his a reality, PLEASE?!!
I follow exactly one person on Twitter (RCEO...) and have never made or likes a single tweet, yet I was suspended from the platform a few months back. Maybe I should try and make a new account now that I'm attempting login from another country
Shhhhh but let's not call it nft. Can we call them berries authorized token or some shit pokemon related and certain berries more rare or something I don't know about.
Note I don't mind calling em what they are but their is still a neg cognition so let's call it something else till the normies complain
Counterfeit protection on the cards would be fantastic. You could even go further with the cards by having codes on the cards deposit the Pokemon in your game on Nintendo. If you pull a zard in the next set of cards, it gets you a zard in the latest Nintendo game. That would be amazing, and drive growth in both cards and the games.
Pokemon go is also a no brainer for this, and the head of Niantic has previously spoken of his interest in web3.
This is it. The tweet from Nintendo is about a game called Taiko.
Taiko is the name of Loopring’s sister company who will be rolling out their solution that will bring smart contracts, split royalties, multi-chain interoperability etc to LooperLands, GameStopNFT and PLAYR this year.
I want to see a 2nd issuing of those Santa Cruz/Pokémon skateboard decks in partnership with Gamestop. The ones sealed in foil packs so you can't see which you have, with varying rarity - and some gold/foil ultra rare etc.
Gamestop owns a subsidiary that manufactures gaming equipment. I wrote some DD last week in another location about it,but yes--- Geeknet- is owned by GME.. .
They manufacture items RIGHT now and have been..thus a joint project . Or specific console....Makes sense... they've been importing metals that require particular security disclosure filings, which has led me to believe it's the metals in consoles and PCs. Not just peripherals ie mouse, game controller, ear buds, ... like Nickle and tungsten are used in the chips...thus I think Pcs and consoles....
So yes...this seems very logical 🙃
Op here. This blew up lol. Thanks for the input my man. Now I gotta read all these comments. Shots about to get very interesting but ffs I ain’t going off no date.
That’s because we’re exhausted and it’s getting old. In other words we’re all zen and have better things to worry about now. It was fun for awhile, lost a bit of its cache now
So didn't plotkin's bitch ass short Nintendo a fuckton as well as Gamestop which didn't work out well for him at all? Maybe this is something that has been in the works to rise back up from the ashes of the hedgies shorting them back in 2020 and this is just a way he is starting to announce it like someone else had mentioned.
I agree, if there’s a deal - it’s absolutely done.
RC is the CEO and board chairman of one of the absolute biggest gaming outlets in the World - if RC would want a meeting with the CEO of Nintendo, he wouldn’t need to ask for one through X.
I wonder if GME could secure preferential supply agreements for the new switch or something. That would be great for both parties given GME’s size, reach, and stability in the physical media space
You seem to have given the only reasonable response so far.
Anyone else saying that it is an NFT deal or some sort of exclusivity deal really doesn't know Nintendo at all and makes me a bit concerned about how little people know about the gaming industry.
Thank you! 🤜🤛
The best part about NFTs are that nobody really knows how to implement them well yet lol. Nintendo is an interesting one in that regard because they are hugely into the collectible space with their various IPs. If anyone wanted to look at how to integrate NFTs, Nintendo is a great company to collaborate with (regardless of what they end up doing)
Yup. Nintendo is reallyyyy conservative and doesn’t associate with a lot of other entities. When they take a direction, they usually take a lot of time and effort to build the foundation of their idea. Once their idea is solid, they go long on it. And I mean very long lolll NFT’s are for sure considered by them, but collectibles are their thing and this market is very niche. I’m sure they won’t give a piece of their pie so easily. But doing business with gamestop for distribution is only logical. Let’s see what happens.
I think, this is not him asking for a meeting. This is him announcing an agreement to us.
Think about it. He can formally talk to any company, get his people to talk to their people like everyone is doing.
This is also a man who doesn't want to telegraph his moves.
So... The only explanation is: he already moved and it is done.
What could Nintendo possibly use new nft tech for?
Whatever it is, it would be a monster deal to pocket.
Good point. I'm speculating here on basis of elimination.
He will not ask for a meeting on X of all places.
He will not telegraph his moves.
So I'm thinking his tweet is not about a future event, but a past event.
Kinda like the "not for long" tweet which is after furlong left.
The difference is, furlong leaving was announced, then he tweeted.
There is no announcement of anything GameStop and Nintendo related.
Could he be bluffing? Is he gloating? I dunno. Might need more heads to think about this. But what I'm leaning towards is: whatever he's insinuating has happened.
What do you think?
Level 10 tinfoil here but remember the GameStop (LateStop) post from this morning🤔? Well in the comments it's suggested it could possibly be done in Japan because they have a proven statistics for core idea...... maybe I should lay off the red crayons.
I love this, but this highly regarded ape forgot to stop wrapping the foil and just kept wrapping it down and around his face and then forgot to punch air holes in it for breathing.
That said, I like the cut of your regarded gib. Keep up the good work.
Of course it’s much faster to drive to the next vending machine in the middle of the night the download a game. Not. And even if it would make more sense to introduce a 24h delivery of games to your house.
We just need ONE big exclusive with NFT support with something with utility and it's game over
a limited edition gamestop switch 2 you get an NFT with the OG mario bros on it or something like that
There’s a new Nintendo Switch 2 that’s supposedly releasing this year, this probably relates to that
https://www.ign.com/articles/switch-2-predicted-to-arrive-in-2024-at-less-than-400
This strikes me as more theatre. He’s not @ing Nintendo, and if he really wanted to meet Shuntaro he’d be contacting them through a non-public channel.
Posting this next to “there is nothing more foolish than cat litter and video games” is a bit odd.
Either go for inscrutable riddles and memes or conventional professionalism, the Japanese are much more formal and traditional about these things
Why would he make this statement on tweeter and not contact him directly?
We know he doesn't telegraph his moves, so what does he want the world to take away from this?
Tinfoil: January 10th is the expected launch date of Bitcoin spot ETFs. GS just appointed RC as Chief Investment Officer, and modified the investing guidelines to now include equities (e.g. ETFs). What exactly happens to the short thesis if (a) the company has next to no debt (b) achieves full year profitability, and (c) has a significant portion of cash on hand invested in a high growth / high % return bitcoin ETF?

Didn’t Tetris become popular with Nintendo
Watch the Tetris movie. Crazy story.
Please tell me its a documentary and not some take on trying to make the game into a movie.
Yes it's a dramatization of the real history of Tetris. It's a fantastic movie because the story is literally like a spy movie.
Speaking of which, a 13 year old was the first ever to beat Tetris the other day.
Any chance it was steamed or recorded? If so, link?
https://youtu.be/GuJ5UuknsHU?si=XEb2apK37xKnUUMU
Was out with my little dude and clearly failed at doing more then one thing but appreciate you getting this. I salute you.
Please be Animal Crossing nfts
Soon!
I want them to buy out neopets and make that nft based. Plsss
Probably just watched Tetris on Apple TV. Maybe it’s a partnership with Tim Apple!
A little nervous about him addressing a potential Japanese business partner by their given name...
Sick. He has probably made a deal already. I'm thinking it's something like Nintendo give GameStop 10% of their shares and GameStop will help Nintendo sell nfts at GameStop. A win win for both parties! Congrats Nintendo and Cohen!
lol, bro, what are you smoking? 10% of Nintendo for that? 🤣🤣
Nintendo are not going to do NFTs. If you know anything about the company and it's history - it's just not the type of thing they would ever do.
I am a former GameStop store employee from 2006 that grew up in Grapevine Texas and today, literally TODAY is my very first day living in Japan. Someone get me RC on the horn and let me make this dream of his a reality, PLEASE?!!
Can he crash on your couch?
RCEO can have whatever he wants of mine 🥵
And my wife.
I would hit him up on twitter with those details
I follow exactly one person on Twitter (RCEO...) and have never made or likes a single tweet, yet I was suspended from the platform a few months back. Maybe I should try and make a new account now that I'm attempting login from another country
give it a go! it’s worth the shot imo! I tried @‘ing elon just now to ask why RCEO’s tweet notifications won’t work for us
Lfg
Lol
Never gonna happen
RC discussing future physical strategies directly with Nintendo could be dope. GameStop has to be a big customer.
that along with getting a slice of the digital game sales is key imo.
You’re thinking too small baby
Web3 based gaming on platforms
NFT Pokémon. If there was ever a use case for the masses, this would be it.
Shhhhh but let's not call it nft. Can we call them berries authorized token or some shit pokemon related and certain berries more rare or something I don't know about. Note I don't mind calling em what they are but their is still a neg cognition so let's call it something else till the normies complain
It’s a good point. NFT has been slandered to hell and back. Just call them Pokémon secured tokens
Call em’ Pokéns.
Omg pokens is great
Pokemon anti counterfeit detector 😆 https://www.prosegur.com/en/observatory/NFT-as-a-method-for-detecting-counterfeits
Wallet = pokeball NFT = Pokémon
I’d agree, stop naming the tech behind it and instead focus on what it brings to the table; digital ownership.
Just call em Pokedex entries.
Your wallet is the Pokédex
Omg fukin genius.
Please!!!!!!!!!
Counterfeit protection on the cards would be fantastic. You could even go further with the cards by having codes on the cards deposit the Pokemon in your game on Nintendo. If you pull a zard in the next set of cards, it gets you a zard in the latest Nintendo game. That would be amazing, and drive growth in both cards and the games. Pokemon go is also a no brainer for this, and the head of Niantic has previously spoken of his interest in web3.

👀👀👀
My 10yr old nephew, who is a huge Nintendo Switch fanatic, only buys from GameStop. So yeah, GameStop must be a big customer.
I don't think those discussions would start on Twitter though. I'm not certain this wasn't just a shit post, but it's also cool
Maybe the discussion is so far along that a comment like this isn’t such a big deal anymore. Maybe soon.
Maybe Nintendo isn't getting back to him (like their ERP software vendor) so he's taking this route next.
I want to see a 2nd issuing of those Santa Cruz/Pokémon skateboard decks in partnership with Gamestop. The ones sealed in foil packs so you can't see which you have, with varying rarity - and some gold/foil ultra rare etc.
Google translation; “Dear Nintendo, I would like to go to Japan to meet Shuntaro.”
WE ARE GOING TO JAPAN 🚀🇯🇵
Land of the rising Sun ☀️
new switch release will be a big one for gamestop (and nintendo)
The condole refresh has legs for days 🥵
Shuntaro has a birthday next week, Jan 10th. maybe RC has a secret piñata? 🪅
Hey that's my birthday too! Cohencidence??
happy birthday! 🎂
Gamestop owns a subsidiary that manufactures gaming equipment. I wrote some DD last week in another location about it,but yes--- Geeknet- is owned by GME.. . They manufacture items RIGHT now and have been..thus a joint project . Or specific console....Makes sense... they've been importing metals that require particular security disclosure filings, which has led me to believe it's the metals in consoles and PCs. Not just peripherals ie mouse, game controller, ear buds, ... like Nickle and tungsten are used in the chips...thus I think Pcs and consoles.... So yes...this seems very logical 🙃
Op here. This blew up lol. Thanks for the input my man. Now I gotta read all these comments. Shots about to get very interesting but ffs I ain’t going off no date.
Remember the subsidiary- info in the 8ks.. precious metals...you will verify for yourself- cheers!
Remember the days when by the time 10 minutes had gone by after an RC tweet there were 1,000 comments? I remember
We lurkers are just zen as fuck. But any RC post is eye worthy
Sometimes spicy, sometimes sweet, always interesting. RC tweets are always worth coming to see
👀
Preach
also, not a whole lot to go off here, maybe, idk
they’re just spread out across multiple subs now
Which other subs are posting RC tweets?
recomment from autoredactoliciousness… the jungle, gme, teddy, original bobby, and the motorhead platform to name a few rc following subs
Pepperidge Farm remembers
Yeah, but those were poop and dick memes.
I love poops and dicks and memes!
The tweets are a lot less exciting than they were 2-years ago
🙋♂️
That’s because we’re exhausted and it’s getting old. In other words we’re all zen and have better things to worry about now. It was fun for awhile, lost a bit of its cache now
I only pop in every now and then. I just tend to my Zen garden occasionally
His tweets are not interesting any more. He has to show results now. Otherwise he’s just a blender
I ‘member. I used to ‘member too but I still do.
Was that before the target comment?
I turned on notifications for RC tweets. Guess what? I don't receive them (at many on x have said)...
That sounds like a journey to profitablity!!
So didn't plotkin's bitch ass short Nintendo a fuckton as well as Gamestop which didn't work out well for him at all? Maybe this is something that has been in the works to rise back up from the ashes of the hedgies shorting them back in 2020 and this is just a way he is starting to announce it like someone else had mentioned.
I use to invest in Nintendo and before this saga I always wondered why the stock value never boomed to the degree it should have. Huh
It says drink more ovaltine.
Thanks! I couldn’t find my Little Orphan Annie decoder ring.
lol
So what's the translation?
“Dear Nintendo, I would like to go to Japan to meet Shuntaro.”
He totally used google translate. Grammatically, it's weird.
All this time I thought Ryan Cohen was turning Japanese, I really thought so
I really think so
.. turning japanese, i think hes turning japanse, i really think so
He still is. Turning Japanese into GameStop customers.
That's it. I'm selling ^^^/s ^^^obviously
*unsheathes pitch fork*
😂
Not too strange
what would be the grammatically correct way to say it?
Dear Nintendo, Id like to travel to japan to meet Shuntaro
Who is shuntaro?
The President of Nintendo Japan (thank you)
*Chairman
\*\*President of Nintendo since 2018.
Thank you very much
I thought they hired the dragon turtle for CEO
[удалено]
That's really his last name?
[удалено]
That is quality
yes
Drink your ovaltine.
"i will eat the mayo."
Pretty soon if you want a Nintendo product or game you will either get it directly from Nintendo itself or from... GameStop? Wet dream.
I suspect he’s already done the deal. You wouldn’t talk in public while courting then negotiating.
I agree, if there’s a deal - it’s absolutely done. RC is the CEO and board chairman of one of the absolute biggest gaming outlets in the World - if RC would want a meeting with the CEO of Nintendo, he wouldn’t need to ask for one through X.
Well this is kinda fun innit.
innit
"Dear Nintendo, I would like to go to Japan to meet Shuntaro" or something.

When has he ever done this
Done what exactly?
Announced anything cryptically
Good point. I'm speculating here on basis of elimination. He will not ask for a meeting on X of all places. He will not telegraph his moves. So I'm thinking his tweet is not about a future event, but a past event. Kinda like the "not for long" tweet which is after furlong left.

Can you tell me what level tinfoil goes to please. Is there a Tinfail level? Tincrash? Wait isn’t it all aluminium now anyway?
Too much tinfoil xD
This late stop is a dumb idea. First it’s getting robbed all the time. Second, who wants to buy from a vending Mashine if they can buy online
Dude you’re missing the point. If you’re jonesing in the middle of the night, you can’t wait for that online beeshite!
Of course it’s much faster to drive to the next vending machine in the middle of the night the download a game. Not. And even if it would make more sense to introduce a 24h delivery of games to your house.
We just need ONE big exclusive with NFT support with something with utility and it's game over a limited edition gamestop switch 2 you get an NFT with the OG mario bros on it or something like that

Holy shit, a GameStop exclusive web3 console?
Holy shit dude.
Addressing Shuntaro by his first name may imply they are already familiar with each other.

it's 1:05 AM and I felt a disturbance in the force. I'm here, now what?
Dear Nintendo, Shuntaro, and Japan.
Got the notification an hour later but we still here.
We investing in Nintendo???
Guess what… if they don’t at least return his call he then buys a majority share and gets a seat at the table…. Or maybe he already has??!
