Six percent of Nintendo is now owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, the financial scheme set up by the country’s highly-controversial Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The state’s growing stake has risen from 5.01 percent last May, when word of its investment first surfaced, to 6.07 percent now.
At the time, Nintendo said it learned of the investment from news reports and declined to comment further. This latest update comes from Nintendo’s own report, via Reuters. We’ve contacted Nintendo for further comment.
