We’ve learned Nintendo is the latest tech giant to ban sales in Russia, as we’ve learned Nintendo halted sales in Russia over the invasion of Ukraine.

Nintendo confirmed (via Reuters) they are suspending the shipments of all products to Russia “for the foreseeable future” due to “considerable volatility surrounding the logistics of shipping and distributing physical goods.”

Nintendo cutting off sales in Russia was confirmed not long after the company also delayed the release of military-strategy game Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, due to “recent world events”, which we all know is the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Now all three of the big gaming platforms including Microsoft, Sony, and now Nintendo have all cut off sales and services in Russia.

News that Nintendo halted sales in Russia come alongside the company putting its eShop under maintenance in Russia, after payment processors cut off services to the country.
