UPDATE: Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has just released a press statement regarding the impact the bankruptcy filing will have for the Redmond, Washington headquarters. "We were all saddened to hear Mr. Iwata's announcement today, but we at Nintendo of America are working diligently to ensure the stability of as many employees here at home as possible."

Nintendo of America handles the licensing, localization, and distribution of the Nintendo brand in the United States, with many departments not specifically tied to the Wii U. It is likely, however, that as the process of the bankruptcy continues and properties are disbanded, the security of the over five thousand employees worldwide will remain in jeopardy.
