[Emio]

The Japanese website is available.

As already mentioned by others, "笑み男" = "smiling man", or literally "emio" when transliterated.

Oddity: there should be a five character game code in the URL like "av5ja"... but instead, we just have "emio".

These Challenges have Barnacle & Dime as one of their stages because they are tie-ins with Splatoon 3 events that will take place at shopping malls in Japan. And yes, the random gear abilities Challenge description has an awkward translation. I had to check how it works in-game.

Nintendo seems to have made other changes to the transcript as well. For example, they removed mentions of Apple + iPhone (in the question about AI) and YouTube (in the question about leaks). Instead, they make vague references to "smartphones with AI" and "other companies".

I've attached tweets from people who were live tweeting the event along with the official transcript from Nintendo below.

The machine translations are imperfect, but you can find コスプレイヤー (cosplayer) and 性的加害 (sexual assault) in the tweets.

[Wii U]

So, why was Nintendo still repairing Wii Us in Japan?

When it launched, Nintendo made a commitment to keep spare parts for repairs in stock for up to 6 years after the end of manufacturing.

Nintendo ceased Wii U production in 2017 and stopped stocking parts in 2023.

[Wii U]

Nintendo has ran out of spare parts for the Wii U in Japan.

Because of this, they are now unable to repair broken Wii U consoles or peripherals.

(Wii U repairs already ended several years ago in North America.)

While it's never explicitly stated that the game in question is Splatoon 3, it's implied based on the fact that he targeted the Koshien (a Nintendo tourney).

He also sent threats saying things like "I'll make you regret making such a shitty game".

In addition, the prosecution claimed that Nintendo suffered 700 million yen in damages as a result of the threats. (If correct, this is likely due to the fact that they had to cancel two large in-person events at the last minute.) The verdict will be decided on July 24th.
