While we don’t focus too much on gaming stocks, there are times when you have to talk about it, especially when a company reaches a new all-time high with it. The company in question is Nintendo, which is riding a serious high thanks to the incredible success of the Switch 2. If you recall, the console sold 5.82 million in just 25 days, and The Big N confirmed that it’s already over 6 million, with it likely being close to or over 7 million at this point. So, it should come as no surprise that the company’s stock in Japan has soared to new heights, as noted by Stealth:

As Stealth noted, people are more than happy to invest in Nintendo right now because they’re firing on all cylinders. Mario Kart World had an epic debut on the Switch 2, selling 5.63 million units itself. Then, in July, we had the release of Donkey Kong Bananza (read my review!), which is already being heralded as a “Game of the Year” contender, as well as a blueprint for how The Big N should revitalize its franchises.
Plus, if a new Direct comes out to show off upcoming 1st party games like fans hope, and like we recently discussed on the Nintendo Entertainment Podcast, confidence should grow even further.
