Nintendo of Japan has seen its annual salary decrease in 2024, though the company remains one of the highest-paying in the region.

Nintendo's average annual salary may have dropped by 2.3 percent in 2024, but it's still the second-highest-paying

According to the report, Nintendo paid an average annual salary of 9,627,000 yen in the last fiscal year (around £51,000 / $62,000 at the current exchange rate), landing the company with the second-highest average paycheck in the region — and the only entertainment company to land a spot in the top five, no less.
