@splatoon@wetdry.worldNews / Domains: All European domains are moving to nintendo.com now too
As I reported quite recently, the Japanese Nintendo website has recently moved domains and it seems like European regions are next to follow, starting tomorrow. The existing domains will continue to redirect to the new ones for the time being.
Stumbled across this article by Nintendo Life earlier which talks about this: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2024/04/nintendo-updates-the-urls-for-its-european-website-domains
Here are the new links for websites in each region:
: https://Nintendo.com/en-gb/
: https://Nintendo.com/fr-fr/
: https://Nintendo.com/de-de/
: https://Nintendo.com/it-it/
: https://Nintendo.com/es-es/
: https://Nintendo.com/nl-nl/
: https://Nintendo.com/pt-pt/
: https://Nintendo.com/de-ch/ : https://Nintendo.com/it-ch/ : https://Nintendo.com/fr-ch/ 
: https://Nintendo.com/de-at/ 
: https://Nintendo.com/nl-be/ : https://Nintendo.com/fr-be/
I'm not sure whether I like this change happening widespread, it makes it harder to remember each domain, since I have to now type https://nintendo.com/en-GB instead of https://nintendo.co.uk which is much easier imo.

@splatoonI wonder where My Nintendo Store will be going unless it's going to be something dumb like store-uk.nintendo.com instead of https://store.nintendo.co.uk
@splatoonJust noticed that Australian domains also moved, not sure whether anyone reported on this as a big deal.
https://nintendo.com.au now redirects to https://nintendo.com/au.
@splatoon@lemmy.world @splatoon I would complain, but maybe it'd actually mean that my ISP lets me on the store
@splatoon@primm @splatoon@lemmy.world what ISP you with lol
at least Virgin Media or O2 has no problem whatsoever
@splatoon@lemmy.world @splatoon Plusnet >.<
@splatoon@primm @splatoon@lemmy.world good old BT Group
that's funny ngl considering EE sells Nintendo Switch stuff lol
@splatoon you can still use the old URL they redirect. Most big companies work with the new way. Look at Apple for example. You head to Apple.ca and you get redirected to the Canadian site on the .com website. Only Amazon insists on having a different url for each country at this point.
@splatoon@pl please read the post, it specifically mentions it'll redirect to the new ones for the time being!
@splatoon the article is not the final word from Nintendo. They can only speculate. But it is 100% clear that :
A) Nintendo will never get rid of those URLs.
B) Those URLs have been used for decades previously. They will redirect FOREVER. Or at least until we’re all dead.
