April 17 (Bloomberg) -- Nintendo Co., the world’s largest maker of handheld game machines, fell the most in more than two months in Osaka trading after U.S. sales of its Wii video-game console declined for the first time in 14 months.

Nintendo lost 6.6 percent to close at 26,180 yen on the Osaka Securities Exchange, dropping the most since Feb. 2. It was the biggest drag on the MSCI Asia-Pacific Index, while Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 Stock Average gained 1.7 percent.
