According to a new report from Kotaku<\/a>\u00a0and confirmed by The Verge<\/a>,\u00a0Nintendo has closed its offices in California and Toronto.<\/p>\n

The shuttering of the office in Redwood City, California, affects\u00a0around 100 employees within Nintendo’s Sales and Marketing department, as well as its NMI, which is “a dedicated merchandising field team who work with retail stores across the country.” Kotaku’s article mentions “many of the now-displaced staff were upset over the decision.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nintendo has confirmed the closures in a statement to The Verge. Here is the statement in full:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nintendo of America headquarters are in Redmond, WA, and Vancouver, BC. We are moving more of our employees and operations into those headquarters and will be closing small satellite offices in Toronto, ON, and Redwood City, CA, over time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Devon Pritchard, Executive Vice President, Business Affairs and Publisher Relations for Nintendo of America (NOA), will assume interim leadership of Sales, Marketing and Communications following the departure of Nick Chavez. Ms. Pritchard will oversee strategy and execution of sales, marketing and communications across the U.S. and Canada <\/p>\n

We don’t yet know how many total jobs\u00a0have actually been affected. From\u00a0what we’ve learned in the above statement, many roles are relocating to Nintendo of America and Canada’s headquarters. Due to\u00a0the rise of hybrid and remote working solutions, the\u00a0office closure\u00a0may not necessarily mean jobs have\u00a0been lost. The opportunity to relocate also looks to be on the table for some.<\/p>\n

With the Redwood location reportedly being closed down, Nintendo’s\u00a0only offices on the West coast remain in the state of Washington, where its headquarters and distribution center call home.<\/p>\n

The company recently released a new OLED model<\/a> of the Switch, Metroid Dread<\/a>, and added new Switch Online features (and a price bump to support it). For your weekly dose of audio Nintendo news and discussions, check out our podcast All Things Nintendo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
