UAE economy minister calls for greater penetration of anime and other content in exclusive interview with Nippon TV
The economy minister of the UAE (United Arab Emirates) gave an exclusive interview to Nippon TV and called for greater penetration of Japanese content, including anime. UAE Minister of Economy Al-Marri, who has begun negotiations on a bilateral Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with Japan, gave an exclusive interview to Nippon Television. Economy Minister Al-Marri: “We hope that Nintendo will create more games for the Middle East region. “There are a lot of fans here, so I hope Nintendo will consider this a good area for business expansion.”
Al-Marri said he himself has been familiar with Japanese anime such as “Captain Tsubasa” since he was a child, and expressed his hopes for the further expansion of Japanese content such as anime and games into the UAE. He also said that the UAE’s creative industry accounts for about 5% of its GDP, and expressed confidence that the country’s talented people will be able to cooperate with Japan. On the other hand, he pointed out that in order for Japan to further expand its tourism industry as inbound tourism increases, it needs to simplify visa procedures for visitors to Japan.

There seem to be a lot of restrictions, so it’s not possible. It’s likely to be a target for terrorism.

A game where you drift and flip over in a FF car while shouting “Allahu Akbar”.

Even if we try to adapt to the Oil people, it seems like they would only have a restrictive worldview.

When Islamic elements are introduced it ends up becoming politically correct.

Is KOF a Middle Eastern game?
Wouldn’t Smash Bros be good?

All the female characters hide their faces so you can’t tell who’s who?

No, let your own people make it. There are ways to do it, like holding a contest and offering a prize.

In other words, they wanted me to make Metroid something like Prince of Persia.

A game without pork or alcohol. Although there are a lot of Muslims who drink a lot of alcohol.

Ever since the days of the Famicom, Nintendo has believed that if they can make a game that sells in New York, it will sell all over the world.

A game where you engage in aerial combat with F-14s and F/A-18s and shoot down characters that look like Iceman or Maverick?

It seems to be something based on an anime.
Nintendo doesn’t make it, so it’s probably Bandai Namco.

What does this mean? Will the use of a super-powerful prophet who surpasses Yahweh be allowed as the final boss of Megaten?

Let’s release Yume Koujou Doki Doki Panic as Super Mario UAE. It’s kind of like riding a flying carpet, so that’s perfect.

Maybe it’s a game that tells you prayer times and lets you enjoy worship with the Ring Fit controller.

I spent a year in Saudi Arabia around 2012 and remember there were a lot of soccer games. Maybe it was because it was too hot to play sports.
