Nintendo Effectively Shuts Down eShop In Russia https://ift.tt/6HZ78sr

Nintendo will effectively shut down the Nintendo eShop in Russia at the end of May. Per a report from Game Developer, this news came via an email to publishers from Nintendo of Europe. The email states that Nintendo plans to "wind down" its operations in Russia, which means that players in that country will no longer be able to make new purchases or use download codes after May 31.

The email goes on to say that players will be able to redownload digital content they have purchased, but they will not be able to purchase content or redeem download codes.
