Unfortunately, Japan did not start off the new year on a good note. On New Year’s Day, disaster struck when the Noto Peninsula was struck with a major earthquake. Ever since then, relief efforts have been ongoing. Sadly, many lives have been lost and there has been a lot of damage to buildings and roads in the area.
Japan also happens to be the home of Nintendo’s main headquarters. So, it isn’t surprising at all that Nintendo is wanting to help people out. The company has announced that they are donating 50,000,000 yen, which is the equivalent of around $340,000, to the Japanese Red Cross to help with relief efforts. Nintendo has also confirmed that they will be providing free repairs to anyone that is living in the area for up to 6 months. You can see a tweet relaying the news down below.
I read that Sony donated 40 million yen, no one reference Pokemon wouldn’t want anyone jumping to a conclusion and thinking you prioritize Pokemon over the earthquake just because you mention Pokemon.
Nikki. MNN covered that article and I also read your insensitive comment.
People are in need, hundreds are missing and sadly, lives were lost.
Have some consideration here.
Dude, just stop stop shut up.
Watch them find new ways to double down on nickel & diming people as compensation for this expensive act of good publicity.
Wow, your l7fe must be sad to be this cold, huh?
