    They have the ability but they won’t because they spent the past 6 months bootlicking the current government over Trump’s insane tariff nuke policies, just like every other company has.

    Kia literally just got raided by ICE and they announced they were continuing to invest in the US not even a week later.

    Most they’d be willing to do would be to ask Japan’s ambassador local liaison to ask DHS to remove the video, which the ambassador liason or foreign diplomat himself may even refuse to do under fear of retaliation or breakdown in ongoing negotiations.

    Nintendo will sacrifice its brand image all day if it means staying in the US market and not becoming the target of Trump’s next company assassination in some convoluted political stunt.

      The trick would try to make it more expensive for Nintendo to not act than otherwise. People on Twitter are already trying to ragebait Nintendo by claiming they’ll cancel their Nintendo Online subscriptions and sell their Switches if they don’t do anything.
