Nintendo recently made a subtle yet notable change to its Japanese website, requiring visitors to add one extra keystroke to reach the page. Previously accessed through ‘nintendo.co.jp’, the site can now be found at ‘nintendo.com/jp’. Despite initial reactions of keyboard-related horror, Nintendo assures users that this update is part of “server environment improvements”. This change also aligns the Japanese site’s URL with Nintendo’s official pages in North America and Southeast Asia, as highlighted by NintendoSoup.
For those worried about the inconvenience, fear not. The old URL will continue to redirect users to the updated page for the foreseeable future. So, while it may seem like a monumental shift in the digital landscape, rest assured, this is about as mundane as it gets in the world of Nintendo updates. So, until the next big reveal, keep your tinfoil hats on standby. This change doesn’t signal any major announcements, just a small adjustment in the digital realm of Nintendo.
Y’all really gotta stop using AI to write these articles, it’s really obvious.

That was Aiden’s choice. Not sure what AI has to do with anything though….
Changing . to / doesn’t add an extra keystroke
But it also went from “.co” to “.com”
