Japanese business journal Diamond Online has revealed that Nintendo continues to rank second when it comes to paying the highest average annual salary among Japanese companies. It should be noted that this is for businesses based in the Kansai region, excluding Osaka. Nintendo offers on average an annual salary of 9.627 million yen and was the only video game company to be included in the top five. However, the Kyoto-based company continues to be relegated to second by the semiconductor manufacturer, Screen Holdings.

"Nintendo's annual salary actually decreased by 2.3% in the 2024 fiscal year, despite the company seeing a 4.4% boost in net sales and 4.9% increase in operating profit during the term. Diamond Online speculated that the salary decrease reflects the drop in net sales (-5.5%) and operating profit (-14.9%) Nintendo saw in the 2023 fiscal year." - Automaton Media
