Nintendo Curtails Russia Operations, Denies Ties to Local Import Venture
In a recent development, Nintendo has clarified its stance on operations in Russia, stating it is not affiliated with any local companies importing its products. Despite this, the company may collaborate with a Russian import firm, established by its former general manager, to provide repair and warranty services to existing customers. Nintendo has decided to scale down its operations in Russia, with the majority of its staff being let go, while maintaining a minimal presence to fulfill outstanding obligations.
