YAY! Hopefully it will rise back up if Nintendo delivers some good news..... A Direct perhaps.....?

I have been trying to tell people that the nature of the app is a big part of this drop, not just the delay. Nice to see it spelled out for the more 'unconvincable' folk out there.

Rather than silly, they're very short term oriented.

There was a drop because most people expected a super mario bros level type of game, even though nintendo said time and time again it wouldnt do it, and because of the delay.The stocks it "lost" was probably the same stocks it gained after the news of nintendo making mobile games.Give it some time and they will recover all stocks, specially when it comes near the launch of Miimoto

Uh-uh. Delaytendo is suffering. Hopefully the delays ends this 2015 and dissapear alongside Wii U and 3DS.

On the contrary, stock markets are longterm oriented... Investors expected Nintendo to utilize some of their huge IPs for their mobile games, and while they may do so later, Miitomo is overall just dissapointing for investors. It doesn't help that it was delayed either.

Couple that with the fact that Nintendo's stock basically doubled in value on the announcement that Nintendo would make mobile games alone, and investors now realizing that their expectations were unrealistic, it makes sense.

A direct is sorely needed and I'm glad Nintendo recognizes this. I can't believe investors thought Nintendo would come out guns a blazing with some killer Mario app. Nintendo said that wouldn't necessarily happen. Well, the delay didn't help either. Nintendo's in a tough spot right now. But Nintendo is kinda like Goku. When they've been beat to a bloody pulp, they find some way to overcome. Let's hope that's the case this time around.

lol, my thoughts exactly.

Basically I just saw this as a knee jerk reaction to the delay and the fact that it wasn't a Mario game. I'm also willing to bet dollars to donuts that the people who just left where the ones who only become interested in Nintendo the moment they announced they were stepping into the mobile realm.

Watch, if Miitomo (and by extension Nintendo's other current plans) go smoothly and become successes, they will earn back all they lost and more.
