First glance I saw "Mario mugs Zelda"

Only thing they think of Japanese, trying to sell them something they do not need and cannot afford
Ganbare Japan!
With the 2020 Olympics just around the corner, this is great news and will be huge boost for retail in Tokyo! I can see lines of foreigners stretching hundreds of meters to get into the Nintendo shop to buy all the stock daily!
By the way, I will reveal a little secret : expect several of these characters to feature in the Olympics opening ceremony.

I just hope most of the products are Made in Japan.
Ganbare Japan!
@ Joe Blow - Nintendo's made in Japan, dont worry!

Unfortunately, it's not. This article from a few years ago talks about its products being made and assembled in China, and under not-so-nice conditions:

I think about the only Nintendo thing still makes in Japan is their hanafuda and playing cards. Pretty much everything else has been moved overseas.
