I just hope most of the products are Made in Japan.

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.

First glance I saw "Mario mugs Zelda"
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.
Ganbare Japan!
@ Joe Blow - Nintendo's made in Japan, dont worry!

Only thing they think of Japanese, trying to sell them something they do not need and cannot afford
