Numerous game companies have already started selling digital items as NFTs, including Konami and Atari, though this has attracted criticism from some due to the formats high carbon footprint and what many perceive to be cynical implementation.
Speaking during a SXSW panel this week, former Nintendo Boss Fils-Aim said he believed blockchain could work in gaming if its implemented from a players perspective.

Fils-Aim used Nintendo title Animal Crossing as an example, stating that he believed it could appeal to players if they were able to profit from some of their creations in the game.
Im a believer in blockchain, he said. I think blockchain as a technology is really compelling. Im also a believer in the concept of play to own within video games.

I say this as a player where I may have invested 50 hours into a game, 100 hours into a game, or there are some games where Ive invested 300 hours when Im ready to move on to something else, wouldnt it be great to monetise what I built?
I bet Id have some takers here today if I wanted to sell my Animal Crossing island from the latest Nintendo Switch version. Id like to be able to monetise that. Blockchain technology embedded in the code and into development would enable me to do that.
He added: So Im a believer in the technology and where its headed. But I say that in the context of, it needs to make sense for the player, it cant just be an approach by the developer that its interesting or a way for them to make more money.
In the end, its got to be good for the player, but I see an opportunity.

Nintendo said it has interest in non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and The Metaverse during an investor Q&A earlier this year, but suggested that its yet to define what it could do in the areas that would sufficiently appeal to users.

Purely speculation and discussion but you'd have to be an idiot to think Nintendo wouldn't do something like this for AC.

Well, thankfully, Reggie doesn't work for Nintendo anymore, and by the time the old fossils at Nintendo of Japan find out about NFTs, the whole thing would have long since bottomed-out.

Someone should let Nintendo know how easy it is to pirate a NFT by right clicking and then they'll never make one.

Actually reading what he said, I kind of agree. It would be nice if there was a way to build stuff in games and sell it for an actual profit. I miss the Diablo 2 days when I was making my beer money grinding runes

How would that work for an AC village?

Reggie has always been a salesperson. Now that he no longer works at Nintendo he doesn't need to throw on the charm for them.

And you were able to do that without NFTs.

It would be kinda cool to sell shit you make or earn in games but I don't think any gaming company will do that when they can just sell it for you and keep 100% of the profits lol also I'm pretty sure Ubisoft just tried to do a thing with NFTs in one of the new Ghost Recon games and it failed miserably.

Sure, but those hoops could be removed without using blockchain tech.
