Nintendo is a publicly owned company headquartered in Japan. Founded in 1889, it employs approximately 4,400 individuals. The company functions as a multinational video game company based in Kyoto, Japan.
Nintendo clarified on July 10, 2026, that the Nintendo Switch 2's VRR support is exclusive to its integrated display, meaning the handheld cannot pass a VRR signal output through the dock to a supported TV. Earlier that day, the company achieved a major commercial success as *Rhythm Heaven Groove*, also known as *Rhythm Heaven Miracle Stars*, debuted at number one on the Japanese physical game sales chart. The first brand-new *Rhythm Heaven* entry in 11 years sold 393,378 physical copies during its debut week, from June 29 to July 5, 2026, according to Famitsu. This follows Nintendo's confirmation on July 9, 2026, that it will cease selling the original Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED in Europe by mid-February 2027. The move aligns with new European Union battery regulations that require consumer electronics to meet stricter repairability and sustainability standards.
