we leave you with more information:
As a result of the economic outlook, Nintendo of Europe has decided to end the operations of its Russian subsidiary. As part of our efforts to honor the above commitments to our customers in the Russian market, the Russian version of Nintendo eShop will transition to a limited service.
Starting May 31, 2023, and for the foreseeable future, Russian customers with an existing Nintendo Account will be able to re-download previously purchased digital content. It will not be possible to make new purchases or use download codes within the Nintendo eShop in Russia.
Be that as it may, this is not a remarkable novelty. Since last year, Nintendo had already stopped shipping products to the country, and because of this international conflict, games like the new Advance Wars had to be delayed for a long time… From here, We wish all the best to the Russian players affected by all this.and we hope that there can be a peaceful solution to your current situation sooner rather than later.
