A number of Russian media reported that Nintendo Russia will raise the price of its games to 12.5 thousand rubles.
In their materials, the journalists referred to the official World of Nintendo community on VKontakte. The following image could also be found there:
But, as it turned out, publications in the media were not up tofaithful end. As Russian video blogger DenisMajor explained, we can only talk about versions of games on physical media, since the eShop online store remains unavailable in Russia, and the World of Nintendo store sells games only on cartridges:
Nintendo eShop for the Russian region is now closed. You can only access it by changing the region of your account on the website nintendo.ru.
But you still won’t be able to buy for rubles there,just as you won’t be able to buy with cards from Russian banks. Therefore, to pay you need to either look for replenishment cards for the region to which you switched your account (and look for a way to pay for these cards).
Or look for someone from the same region and somehow send him money so that he buys the game, for example, on your account (that is, you will have to provide this person with a username and password).

Note that, according to a statement by World of Nintendo, the prices of games for Nintendo consoles will increase by an average of 40%.
