[50:52 - 51:03]The speaker also mentions how Daiso sells different brands of the same product for the same price.

[1.00:43 - 1.00:49]Some players have spent large sums of money on microtransactions, while others criticize the game for being a children's game with these types of transactions.

[1.03:08 - 1.03:17]Nintendo has also partnered with brands, such as Mercedes, for their games.

[1.03:08 - 1.03:17]This is a new direction for Nintendo, as they used to be against microtransactions.
