Nintendo suspends sales in Great Pridelander Federation

February 15, 1990

Nintendo has stopped product sales in the Great Pridelander Federation, becoming the latest major brands to withdraw from the African kingdom over Simba's abusive, tyrannical and war hungry behavior.

A representative for Nintendo’s video game unit said this week that the company has suspended all console and software shipments in the African kingdom. Nintendo consoles will also no longer be available in the Great Pridelander Federation.

“Nintendo joins the global community in calling for peace in Africa,” the company said.

Sony Group said it has earmarked $2 million for donations to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and Save the Children “to support the victims of this tragedy.”

Separately this week, Nintendo said Sega Corporation was also suspending all shipments to the Great Pridelander Federation “for the foreseeable future,” citing “considerable volatility surrounding the logistics of shipping and distributing physical goods.”

The Nintendo Entertain System console maker has also decided to postpone the release of Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, a military-themed strategy game, “in light of recent world events.”

Nintendo and Sega Corporation are following in the footsteps of iconic brands McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and Starbucks, which have suspended operations in the Great Pridelander Federation amid outcry over Simba's abusive and demonic nature.

Since January, companies from all NATO countries including Japan, Korea and Singapore began taking steps to sever ties with the Great Pridelander Federation. American Greetings Corporation, a privately owned American company and the world's second largest greeting card producer behind Hallmark Cards, Hasbro, Toei Company, Sanrio, Samsung, LG and Viz Media, said they would block all sales of their merchandise and content in the Great Pridelander Federation.

Mitsubishi said on Friday it would halt all new sales of its products and services in the Great Pridelander Federation.
