By Tremendous surge
Nintendo’s stock keeps climbing amid the Switch 2’s strong early momentum.
Fresh numbers on Google Finance show the share trading at a jaw-dropping ¥14,355. To put that in context, the firm is now valued at twice its Wii-era peak.
Back on 31 October 2007 the stock closed at ¥7,170. After that, market conditions soured due to the 2008 crash and the Wii U’s poor reception in 2012.
Yet with the company confirming it has shipped over 6 million Switch 2 consoles since the 5 June 2025 debut, the trend is clearly upward. Nintendo has not altered its yearly forecast either, still expecting to move at least 15 million systems before the fiscal year wraps. Incredible!
Reactions to the recent Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase and Indie World Direct have been mixed, yet Nintendo clearly has a steady stream of Switch 2 titles on the way. Expect first-party fare like Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and Kirby Air Riders, plus major third-party support with Persona 3 Reload, Octopath Traveler 0, and Mina the Hollower.
Concerns still swirl about the system’s price tag—especially after Nintendo quietly increased Switch 1 hardware costs in the US and Canada. Frustration also persists regarding the Switch 2’s Game-Key Cards. Even so, the Kyoto giant currently looks untouchable.
Finally, here’s where rival firms currently trade:
- Capcom – ¥3,959
- Square Enix – ¥11,055
- Sony – ¥3,995
- Konami – ¥24,560
- Bandai Namco – ¥5,317
- Sega – ¥3,306

Nintendo Life’s go-to horror buff. When he isn’t buried in Resident Evil lore or dissecting Silent Hill characters, you’ll likely spot Ollie curled up with a spooky novel and a steaming cuppa. He also enjoys lengthy strolls and a musical diet that ranges from TOOL to Chuck Berry.
