Nintendo says in a statement to Games Industry magazine that ceases most of its activities in Russia. His presence will stand minimum. We learn about this more than a year after the publisher banned the sale of its products due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The Japanese company is aware that some enterprises still import products into the country. But he refuses any connection.
However, it is assumed that one of these companies will be a company founded in December Achiva general manager of Nintendo Russia Yashi Haddaji. He, while still holding his position at Nintendo, runs a company whose stickers, according to business magazine Kommersant (via Nintendo Life), were supposed to appear on boxes of Nintendo games that are still on sale. In addition, Achivka is located at the same address as the Russian branch of Nintendo, and another shareholder is the manager of Nintendo of Russia, Ksenia Kachalova.
At the same time, Nintendo names Achivka as one of the companies through which it could fulfill its obligations to its Russian customers: “In this regard, and in the spirit of transparency, we are conducting preliminary negotiations with potential repair and warranty service providers for [naše] products already sold on the Russian market, one of such potential suppliers is Achivka LLC.
Both Achivka and Nintendo declined to comment to the Russian Kommersant. Nintendo has stated to Games Industry that it is “not affiliated with such companies and does not engage in parallel imports to Russia”.
