Nintendo’s gesture follows a similar donation by The Pokémon Company made earlier this year.
On January 6, The Pokémon Company announced that it would be donating ¥50 million to support those affected by the earthquake.
“The Pokémon Company has decided to donate 50 million yen to the Japanese Red Cross Society and donations to support organizations in order to help those affected by the disaster and to help restore the affected areas,” it wrote.
“Additionally, through the Pokémon With You Foundation, we will continue to carry out activities to help children affected by the disaster regain their smiles. We sincerely pray for the earliest possible recovery and reconstruction of the disaster-stricken areas.”

Is The Legend of Zelda The Next Expansion For Super Nintendo World?
