Yesterday’s typhoon caused destruction throughout Japan’s Kansai region. Some buildings were badly damaged, while others weathered the storm. Nintendo’s Kyoto headquarters took the “N” out of “Nintendo.”
Update September 17 – 6:30am: Nintendo has finally gotten its “N” back. See below.

This is what the headquarters usually looks like.

Here is a tweet from Florent Gorges, who published the French edition of my book Arcade Mania

その後一度「intendo」に戻ってるという話を聞いて帰る前にもう一度来てみたら今現在完全に「N」が復活して「Nintendo」になってました
念の為他の文字もメンテナンスしているっぽい感じです pic.twitter.com/8Ncpx4c4bI— 風翠ヨスガ(ぽよすがさん) (@k64ssMariLuiysg) September 16, 2018
