Japan’s Popular TV Show Run For Money To Have An NFT Version

Japan’s game variety, Run For Money, has announced plans to transform it into a version of an NFT-based game in the future. The game, known as the country’s most popular, is now airing on Fuji Television.

Run for Money has been broadcast since 2004 and has dominated Japan’s TV screens as one of the most fascinating reality TV shows for nearly two decades. The show has gained overwhelming support and popularity from fans of different generations.

It shows notable personalities engaging in a large-scale game of tag. The popularity of the show transcends beyond Japan. It has gained worldwide recognition because of Netflix’s exclusive worldwide distribution of all four episodes.

An NFT Equivalent Of The Game To Be Created

Takeshi Kubo, the developer of Web3-like metaverse XANA, has revealed that he plans to launch an NFT equivalent of Run for Money. He explained further about the plans, saying the new NFT will be placed in the XANA metaverse. According to Kubo, if the plan for the NFT-based game is executed accordingly, it will completely change the game in ways that have never been seen before. He says the plan is to make the game even more exciting for fans, which will be captivating for non-NFT enthusiasts.

The Japanese fans of the game are having extremely high expectations from the project. Kubo assured fans that based on the elaborate plans for the game, he is certain that fans will not be disappointed when the NFT eventually launches.

XANA Expands Presence In The Metaverse

XANA has been making a lot of inroads in the Webs space as it continues to expand its presence in the space. Earlier in July this year, the company raised the bar for its innovations by registering its platform on several exchanges and going public. The firm went ahead to launch the first NFT video game based on famous Japanese intellectual properties such as Astra Boy and ULTRAMAN. XANA has also shown interest in various partnerships as it tries to increase awareness of the metaverse.
