Assistance to earthquake victims
Last week, a powerful earthquake struck the Japanese prefecture of Kumamoto, causing significant damage. The disaster damaged thousands of homes, over 120 people were injured, and 38 people died.
In response to this tragedy, the Japanese division of Nintendo published an official statement with words of sympathy and support. The company promised to provide comprehensive assistance to the affected owners of their devices:
- Free repair of any damaged Nintendo products for residents of the affected region.
- Repairs are carried out regardless of whether the device has an active official warranty.
- This initiative will remain in effect until February 1, 2027.

In addition to repair assistance, Nintendo announced a significant financial donation. The company transferred 50 million yen to the Japanese Red Cross Society fund. These funds will be directed toward disaster relief and support for affected families.
