"Nintendo's Testing Center Faces Layoffs Amid Switch 2 Delay Reports"

Nintendo of America is undergoing a major restructuring in its testing department, leading to layoffs and the creation of new full-time positions. The company confirmed the shakeup, stating that it will offer severance packages and assistance to affected contractors. The restructuring comes amid a reported "lull" in the testing department, with no new major first-party games on the horizon and delays in testing the upcoming Switch successor. The number of employees impacted is unknown, but it could potentially affect over 100 workers, with some being converted to full-time positions outside of software testing. This comes in the wake of industry-wide layoffs at competitors Sony and Microsoft.
