Yeah, Nintendo's share price is still nearly double what it was at the start of the year.

The problem here is that investors expect--and often demand--short-term results so that they can maximise their own gain. Nintendo are once again making a longer play, rather than rushing out a Mario app in time for Christmas, which is what investors would have preferred. Not a particularly big deal. It'll be a big deal if we get to March 2017 and none of Nintendo's first five mobile titles are a hit.
