San Francisco, Aug 19 (SocialNews.XYZ) Nintendo America has launched an investigation following claims that female game testers experienced sexual harassment and discrimination.
According to Kokatu, President Doug Bowser sent an internal message to employees acknowledging the "media coverage involving claims made about worker conduct".

In the message, Bowser reassured current employees that Nintendo was taking the allegations seriously.
"We have strict policies designed to protect our employees and associates from inappropriate conduct and expect full compliance with these policies by all who work for or with us," Doug was quoted as saying.
"We have and will always investigate any allegations we become aware of, and we are actively investigating these most recent claims," he added.
