Nintendo's stock jumps 8%+, its steepest climb since April 2025, after Pokémon Pokopia, a Switch 2 exclusive released on March 5, sold out at major US retailers

Nintendo Co. shares gained as much as 10.5% in their steepest climb since April as the surprise success …

    Honestly Pokopia isn't just worth $70, it's worth getting a Nintendo Switch 2 for

    This does not mean there is nothing to play and Switch 2 isn't doing well. This is about nothing other than my own personal gaming tastes. Pokopia and Switch 2 are killing it. You'll see this later this week on the sales charts.

    Pokemon Pokopia is going to sell so many Switch 2 consoles. This is the game that will convince many people to get one.

    Not financial advice, but...
  • @suchnerve Vivian on x
    so is pokopia actually that good or am i just being effectively marketed to
  • @zhugeex Daniel Ahmad on x
    Can confirm Pokopia is a hit for Nintendo (& Koei Tecmo + Game Freak) Sold out at retail (retailers underestimated demand), record digital sales uptake, visible boost to Switch 2 hardware sales at retailers. Looks like the system seller they needed in H1 2026.

    I want to play pokopia with everyone else but I am on day 14 of soft resetting until I get a shiny ditto wish me luck
  • @tinyrowlet Casey on x
    it cracks me when you pick up an item to move it in pokopia and the pokemon acts like you've just killed their entire family
  • @protendoyt Miika on x
    People are saying that Nintendo wasn't prepared for Pokopia to be this successful but tbf I don't think anyone was. Feels like I blinked for one second and the discussion shifted from “70 dollar key card” to “this is the greatest game of all time”
  • @brialtcookiebox @brialtcookiebox on x
    thinking about how the pokopia pokemon prefer items like mugs, books, couches, beds, etc. all human things. They are so desperate for the humans to come back that they are happier with items they cant use and dont understand the function of than items literally built for them
  • @webegga @webegga on x
    i think it's fuckin awesome that the pokemon in pokopia are the level of sentient where they're like “i thought of you so i got you this stick. also i love eating dirt and chasing my tail”
  • @chris_dring Christopher Dring on x
    Certainly a strong start for this game. Could have been stronger if Nintendo and retailers had a better crystal ball
  • @nintyprime @nintyprime on x
    Hot take: Nintendo's first half of the year is quite lackluster. This is okay personally - but the slate of games they lined up feel very cozy gamer focused which isn't me. Pokopia, Tomodachi Life, and Yoshi are just back to back to back games I don't care for. I have plenty to
  • @adiofreak Adio on x
    Honestly, put yourself into debt for a Switch 2 and Pokopia. You have the rest of your life to make money. Pokopia is now.
  • @zackingball @zackingball on x
    Pokopia is a system seller for the Switch 2, not ONLY because it's 10/10 cozy game and an excellent use of the Pokémon brand, but ALSO because it's the only game so far that has a perfect and clear reason for the joycon mouse controls

    Nintendo stock up another 3.9% today, following yesterday's 5.9% gain. You can see exactly when my Nintendo post was published on the chart yesterday morning at 10:27AM. Best-in-class fundamental analysis email newsletter and market-moving -> https://taekim.substack.com/ [image]

    This took some work (still a wip) but I'm so happy to be back in my design element 🥺 #pokopia [image]

    Japan investors are now fully on board Pokopia mania and putting it in overdrive. Japan be like ... pfft Americans ... we are taking control now. [image]
