Nintendo Japan announced that the Japanese website for the company changed, with the new URL being nintendo.com/jp. It also confirmed people using the old address (nintendo.co.jp) will still be sent to the new one.
The announcement confirmed this was part of general improvements to the company’s site. This also means the Japanese website URL Nintendo Japan shared is more similar to the US version of the site, which is nintendo.com/us, than the UK one, which is nintendo.co.uk.
This reveal also clarified that some of the links will continue to use the old format on the site. It didn’t explain why.
It is unknown if we could see the company’s websites in different regions that matched the Japanese format switch to the new one. Nintendo hasn’t made any other announcements for other regions. However, it is possible it could happen for regions like the UK that followed the previous format.
The last major Nintendo announcement worldwide involved the February 2024 partner direct. That focused on third-party games showing up for the Switch in 2024. There have also been rumors about a Switch successor being in development and potentially launching in 2025. However, Nintendo hasn’t made any comments or announcement regarding the next console it has planned recently.
