Anyone with money can buy into Japanese publicly-traded corporations.

The ones traded in Japan go for well over thousands of dollars per share, so this is a tad impractical. There is a second stock that is traded in the US, for much more reasonable prices, so yes, you can invest in Nintendo, and the best time to invest in a stock is when the price is a) low, b) expected to rise. If you are looking for a short term investment, now is probably not the absolute best time to invest, as the stock should go a little lower before coming back up. As a longer term investment, its not that bad of a time to invest.
