It’s not his birthday or anything, but rather a random day on the calendar that sort of looks like his name when spelled in a certain way. You know, like how Star Wars Day falls on May 4. Still, Nintendo has been putting its corporate might behind the celebration since 2015

So I don't have a lot of sympathy when people complain and try to restrict flights in and out of airports, complaining about the noise.
