In a move that probably wonāt affect you, Nintendo is making some changes to its presence in New York City.
Donāt panic! Their Nintendo World Store near Rockefeller Center in midtown is sticking around. No changes there.
But the companyās Park Avenue offices, where I participated in a transcontinental video-conference interview with the creators of the new Luigiās Mansion earlier this week, will be closing, with some employees moving to a smaller location.

Nintendo games are mostly made in the companyās Kyoto and Tokyo studios. Their games are often translated and localized in Redmond, Washington. Nintendo also has a big office in the San Francisco office for sales and marketing. The smaller New York officeāwhich features its share of Nintendo-themed clocks and artwork and appeared to fill much of the floor of the midtown high-rise that itās ināwas involved in handling the Club NIntendo fan rewards program. Scibetta said the Club Nintendo operations will be moved to Redmond. āThere will be no impact to consumers as a result of the move.ā
So, yes, inside baseball. But since it involves a location we just mentioned today, because the paltry presence of major video game corporations in New York City appeals to this NYC-headquarterd websiteās regional biasāand because I just checked into those New York Nintendo offices on FourSquare on Tuesday and needed a reason to share the tip that popped up on my phone (see above)!āyouāre getting this story.
