They aren't bragging. This article comes from an investor meeting. They HAVE to tell their investors.

For those wondering why this is uplifting news, Japanese cost of living has risen. Nintendo is doing this so their employees are still keeping up with the rising costs, which should be bloody normal in every company.

But unfortunately it isn't.

In this case, the stunt has precedence, with the Japanese Yen changes Nintendo is trying to keep their employees matching inflation rates. Which should be standard.

Normalize raising pay as a result of inflation.
