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.

I know it's volatile and I also know that short term changes aren't the main thing to keep eyes on. However, many times when a company makes mistakes, people blame the market and not the company, with some comments (not only in this thread), it seems that this is the case here as well and that was my entire point.

The whole thing was just bad news. The stock is likely to crawl back up and then surge at the next positive bit, I remember how much it grew after the deNA partnership announcement, it's likely just a matter of time before such an event again. Poor choices/announcements = market responds  negatively, good choices/announcement = market respongs positively, but some don't seem to understand that.
