3DS owners in North America may have received a new Swapnote from Nintendo today. If you have Pokemon Black 2, you’ll be given blue Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity stationary. Those who have played White 2 will obtain orange stationary.
Nintendo will be closing its New York offices in Park Avenue, the company has confirmed. Some employees working in the area will now move to a smaller location.
A comment provided by Nintendo of America spokesman Charlie Scibetta also states that the Direct Consumer Communications will head west as it merges with the Network Business Department in Redmond “to provide better digital offerings and services for consumers.”
“Nintendo is keeping a facility and operations in New York. The Direct Consumer Communications (DCC) team is moving to Redmond headquarters to merge with our Network Business Department (NBD) to provide better digital offerings and services for consumers. Other Nintendo staff unrelated to DCC will remain in New York in a new office location close to the Nintendo World Store.”
Here’s something you may not have known: according to Kotaku, Nintendo’s smaller New York office was mainly responsible for the behind-the-scenes workings of Club Nintendo. No need to worry about the New York changes, though – Scibetta said: “There will be no impact to consumers as a result of the move.”
