Well, that’s now changed – in a new statement provided to Eurogamer, Nintendo says they’ve suspended shipping of products to Russia and have confirmed the eShop will remain in maintenance mode for the foreseeable future. Interestingly, Nintendo’s still doesn’t take any sort of principled stance here, simply stating that the logistics of selling in Russia are too complex right now. Honestly, that’s probably one of the major reasons other publishers have pulled out, although its unusual to see it stated so directly. And with that, all three of the major console makers have suspended sales in Russia. Nintendo also recently announced that they were delaying Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp in light of recent events in Ukraine. A new release date for the game has yet to be announced. We here at Wccftech hope for a peaceful resolution to the conflict and the safety of all Ukrainian citizens.
