Former Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aimé says Amazon once pressured Nintendo to accept pricing terms he believed would be illegal. Speaking at an NYU lecture, Fils-Aimé describes a conversation during the Nintendo DS era, when Nintendo was selling major hardware such as the Wii and DS. He says Amazon wanted to expand into video games and push for preferential pricing and substantial financial support so Amazon could offer the lowest prices in the market, including undercutting competitors such as Walmart. According to Fils-Aimé, he told an Amazon executive that the proposal was illegal and that he could not proceed. He adds that Nintendo stopped selling to Amazon as a result, describing it as a move to avoid actions that would harm Nintendo’s relationships with other retailers and potentially break the law. The reports note that relations have since improved, and that Nintendo consoles, including the Switch 2, are now available through Amazon after the parties “made amends.”
