The coronavirus has affected all kinds of industries and businesses. That includes Nintendo, as the company has struggled to maintain Switch supply and has had to face a work-at-home environment. A status update was provided in its financial results update today.
As for getting product into the marketplace, Nintendo says that “delays in production and shipping are gradually recovering.” There’s more of a concern regarding development since, if the effects of the coronavirus “are prolonged or worsen further, development schedules may be impacted due to the difference in development environments between working from home and in the office.” It’s noted that the situation in Japan “is anticipated to be even more difficult to predict” and there’s an overall warning that “we may not be able to proceed with the release of Nintendo products and the start of services as planned.”
Here’s the full update from Nintendo:
