The execs were asked about reviving the game series during the shareholder meeting.
He said he spent tens of thousands of dollars on Nintendo shares.
He told Insider that he is a diehard Nintendo fan.
A Nintendo shareholder asked a question about a fan-favorite series he wants to see revived at the company's annual shareholder meeting on Wednesday.
"F-Zero," which was a racing game series that hasn't had a new entry released since 2004, was the subject of a fan question.
Nintendo didn't reply to questions.
The fan, who is based in Japan and uses an online translator to communicate, told Insider that he bought 100 shares of the company in February after selling his stock in another company.
He didn't want to be known, but he did want his handle to translate to Momiji. He said that he is a Nintendo fan.
He was given the chance to attend the shareholder meeting after buying a single unit of stock, but he wasn't sure if he'd be able to ask a question. It was just a bonus.
Momiji said that he has been playing Nintendo games since he was a child. I can't get enough of that feeling of speed.
The gaming news site VGC translated Furukawa's response, which Momiji said was an accurate interpretation: "It is difficult to develop new titles and remakes, but we are very grateful and appreciate the expectations our fans have for Nintendo games."
The managing executive officer gave a more positive answer.
He said that new titles and remakes can be enjoyed by many players.
Nintendo announced in May that a 10-for-1 stock split would go into effect on October 1, which could make the company more appealing to investors.
