\"Nintendo <\/p>\n

Nintendo is the latest company to halt sales and shipments of its products to Russia<\/a> amidst its ongoing invasion of Ukraine.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Joining the likes of Microsoft<\/a> and PlayStation and dozens of other game studios<\/a>, Nintendo has suspended all shipments to Russia for the \u201cforeseeable future.\u201d Still, the company did not say this was in support of Ukraine like most publishers and studios have, as reported by IGN<\/em><\/a>. The publication reached out to Nintendo to ask if it\u2019d be providing a message of support for Ukraine, and a Nintendo spokesperson said, \u201cWe would like to express our concern for all those affected by the conflict.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have decided to suspend shipping all Nintendo products to Russia for the foreseeable future,\u201d Nintendo told IGN<\/em>. \u201cThis is due to considerable volatility surrounding the logistics of shipping and distributing physical goods.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

This news comes days after Nintendo placed the Russian eShop into maintenance mode, which prevents users from buying digital games, effectively suspending all sales and downloads in the country. As IGN<\/em> points out, this wasn\u2019t necessarily done in support of Ukraine either, at least not directly and publicly.\u00a0Nintendo said its payment service no longer processed Russian Rubles, forcing the eShop to close temporarily.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On top of all of this, Nintendo delayed Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp yesterday<\/a>\u00a0due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. It did not announce a new release date for the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For more, read Game Informer\u2019s<\/em> story about all of the studios and publishers<\/a> that have come out with messages and actions of support for Ukraine amidst Russia\u2019s ongoing invasion of the country.<\/p>\n
