There are two possible conclusions to take from this; either the stock market is bribed by the competition and/or unfair, illogical and useless, or; the announcement was a negative double whammy in being both about a delay of a much, much needed investment boost in a new and more easily profitable sector of gaming paired with the software itself being generally underwhelming.

Personally, since I never bought the famed Nintendo conspiracy that many seem to cling to since we wielded bow and arrow and wore pelts on our backs during winter, I choose to believe the latter and chalk this down to pure market logic and response, just like every other downturn since the announcement and release of the Wii U and the decline in dedicated handhelds set in.

The stockmarket is very volatile. Such short term changes don't say a whole lot. I can guarantee you that by the time they announce their next smartphone games to stock will rise a lot. Your post really makes no sense at all as nobody has claimed your first scenario. A lot of investors are driven by FUD, which means they're not very good investors to begin with. That's reality: only very few people are good at investing money. Now's a good time to buy Nintendo stock and sell it when they announce Mario is coming to smartphones.
