A 25 year old Japanese man has been arrested after allegedly threatening to kill two Nintendo executives.

The Akita Prefecture man left threatening comments on Nintendo's 'Contact Us' page, saying he was going to kill two unnamed senior Nintendo executives "sooner or later".

The man was arrested early Wednesday morning by police and later admitted to posting the threats. Kyoto police declined to release the names of two executives named in the threats.

After further investigation, it was revealed that the 27-year-old man had previously wrote a number of threats on the Nintendo company website including one in which the claimed to have planted bombs within the company headquarters and was going to detonate them in a plan to bankrupt the company.

Similar threats were made against Nintendo back in September and police are currently investigating any connection between the two.

Guess he was a Sega fan.
