I was going to make a thread about questions over Nintendo stock but I'll just post my question in this thread and hopefully someone can clarify it for me.

I wanted to know what the difference in stock was for Nintendo. I know Nintendo is traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange but they also have some kind of stock offering in the US. Is there a difference in these stocks or is the US version just reflected on the Japanese offering? That wasn't the best way to word my question but I was wondering if someone can explain it better.  Does some US company just buy the shares off the Tokyo Exchange and sells them in the US?
