Nintendo’s European headquarters in Großostheim, Germany is closing down, and 130 people will be out of a job as a result. Nintendo’s European operations have shifted to the company’s Frankfurt office, while the the Großostheim office building and warehouse will be sold. “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,” a Nintendo of Europe representative told Eurogamer.
