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.

"As a result of the economic outlook, Nintendo of Europe has decided to wind down operations of its Russian subsidiary," reads the email in part, as seen by Game Developer. "As part of our efforts to honor preceding commitments to our customers in the Russian market, the Russian version of Nintendo eShop will be set to offer limited service."
