There are people in here suggesting they do, even posting screenshots.
Nintendo throws them in there from time to time. They just don't brag about them and make them key selling points.
And that was my point with posting the screenshots. People are reading this statement in the same vein as those who respond to racism with "I'm colorblind/don't see race" and act in a way that clearly shows their insensitivity to the problems certain races encounter.
I, however, see it more as a "No comment. We let our games speak for themselves". Obviously Nintendo's devs, the creators, the people who actually have a hand and creative input in their games have their own thoughts and feelings on different issues and sometimes their games reflect those while other times they don't. When Reggie said political statements are for other people to do, I think he literally meant that while our games might include elements that can be politicized, Nintendo aren't in the business of commenting on those. They simply let them be interpreted as they will. It absolves them of having to handle any potential controversy while not flat out ignoring the concerns people have rightly brought up.
Now whether you think Nintendo has a responsibility or not to comment, might be up for debate, but making it out as if they're flat out ignoring these is incredibly disingenuous, yet I see a number of people, who clearly haven't played a Nintendo game in a while, seeming to do so
