Users with a Russian Nintendo account will be able to download previously purchased games. At the same time, the creation of new accounts and the purchase of games using Russian cards will remain impossible for the time being.
It is worth noting that this is a rather sudden step from the Japanese company towards domestic players. Many IT giants do not do this.
Recall that at the beginning of 2022, Nintendo put the eShop under maintenance, suspending its activities in Russia. At that time, gamers could not download the games they previously purchased and had to change the region from the settings.
