Nintendo making 130 jobs redundant in Germany

Nintendo advised they’ll be closing down their Großostheim, Germany headquarters, resulting in many redundancies in that market. All up, 130 jobs will be lost as Nintendo consolidates its German HQ to Frankfurt.

“Nintendo of Europe has entered into a consultation process on a number of changes it is intending to make to its European business which, in the long term, will better enable the European business to adapt to the rapidly changing business environment,” Nintendo said in a statement to Games Industry International.

“These intended measures have not been made lightly and have only been arrived at after thorough analysis and careful consideration,” Nintendo continued. “The intended measures will sadly have a direct effect on some of the employees based in the Großostheim and Frankfurt offices in Germany and would lead to the release of approximately 130 permanent employees.”
