Employee raises and building new buildings. Take notes Xbox and Playstation!

They did, but they raised console prices instead 😂

Nintendo is only raising prices slowly because Switch 2 is already a bit overpriced to begin with, fooling yourself If you actually think Nintendo would take a loss on hardware or software for that matter.

It’s not a bit overpriced. Specs really close to Series S, with a screen, a dock, grip, and 2 controllers.

By the lowest amount of all the companies that have announced price increases and yet after that: – salary increase – new 121 billion yen R&D

Awesome!~

In today’s world. That is actually incredible.

The OriginalGaner in Red is a fake

I know you are the real roll because of your icon. Ok, I will try to make a list of people who have these icons who the real person. Roll=pink+Dark Blue Original gamer=Cyan+DarkBlue CFG=Yellow+Brown Truthbringer=Pink+DarkPurple Did I get that correctly?

I think OriginalGamer is BrightBlue+Green

No, you didn’t. You’re literally encouraging the trolls to continue all this identity theft BS. What is wrong with you?

He’s not, these Avis show up different to everyone. To me you show up purple with a pink background.

Nintendo needs to buy Square Enix and then Sega

But buy Capcom before Sega of course. Seriously, how many crossovers between Mario and Sonic without Mega Man are enough for you people?

This is a misinterpretation. Furukawa is stating they have done things in the past to maintain employee retention to include raising base salaries by 10% back in 2023. Nintendo is not raising wages by 10% in 2026.

I feel like nintendo does that exact opposite of what the rest of the video game industry does. When every company does massive lay offs, they raise their salaries. When companies are focusing on AI rather then making games, nintendo doesn’t use AI and they pump out more games faster. It really is impressive how well nintendo does thing. I am fine if nintendo raises it’s prices for everything if they increase the salary for the workers.

And meanwhile, Microsoft is shutting down and laying off, Sony is squandering Bungie….
