Shibata has appeared at several presentations including the Nintendo Show, the Nintendo DS event in Paris, the Nintendo of Europe Wii event in September 2006, the European Nintendo 3DS press conference in Amsterdam in January 2011, and at Gamescom 2011. He has also promoted several games through interaction with celebrities, such as playing Wii Sports tennis with Tim Henman and Greg Rusedski, and singing "Call Me Maybe" for Carly Rae Jepsen.

Starting in 2012, Shibata hosts the European editions of Nintendo Direct, and has often appeared alongside Nintendo's global president, Satoru Iwata.
