Nintendo just wrapped its 81st general shareholder with a Q&A session with its top brass. Questions posed to president Shuntaro Furukawa, senior managing executive officer Shinya Takahashi, senior executive officers Ko Shiota and Satoru Shibata, and legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto were usually about Nintendo's business as a whole, but one person had the cojones to stand up and ask the question we all want to know the answer to: "What're your favorite games?"
And some of the answers were for games you'd probably never even heard of. Take Takahashi's answer, which was "Yuyuki for the Family Computer Disk System," a game that never made it out of Japan, likely because it would be way too hard to reorganize the GUI for this very Japanese text adventure.

Shibata had several answers, including the remade Famicom visual novels Famicom Detective Club: The Missing Heir and Famicom Detective Club: The Girl Who Stands Behind, but Shin Onigashima hasn't yet rated a Switch remake.
President Furukawa, meanwhile, gave the standard Super Mario Bros. answer but also mentioned that he plays "various games, both from Nintendo and from other companies." His current hot hit is "the Hanafuda card game in Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics."

Shiota enjoys Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit with his kids, and Miyamoto tends to "play the games I created myself, so I haven’t been influenced much by the games of other companies." That said, he loved Pac-Man, Tetris, and currently cannot get away from Pokemon Go.
"I’m currently hooked on Pokémon Go. This game, which I’m playing with my wife, is a dream come true of playing a game with my whole family. I’ve been enjoying Pokémon Go with my wife and neighborhood friends for some two years now. The average person playing Pokémon Go in Japan is probably around 60 years old (laughs)."
Besides the shareholder meeting, Nintendo just revealed the new Switch OLED today and even brought a bit of new Pokemon Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl gameplay along with it.
