It should be fresh in everyone's memory that "Nintendo Live 2024 TOKYO," which was scheduled to be held on Saturday, January 20, and Sunday, January 21, 2024, was canceled.
This was due to persistent threats against Nintendo employees. While many on social media expressed sadness about the event's cancellation, there were also numerous calls for strict action against such clear illegal acts.
