Recently an interesting new message has been published that comes directly from Nintendo. In this case, we are talking regarding information related to Russia.
In this case, it has been confirmed that the eShop service confirms the current suspension of payments, which prevents purchases on the Russian Nintendo eShop. It is unknown if it is a voluntary move by Nintendo due to the crisis in Ukraine or not, for now. Other companies like Microsoft have officially announced measures similar to this, but for now Nintendo has not confirmed this announcementonly the impossibility of payments in the store has been reported without mentioning the reason.
It might be a perfectly voluntary movement, in line with recent performances from The Pokemon Company. We leave you with the message issued:
