The "market" does care about the game because if it does not have confidence in the produc/game that is just as bad or worse than a delay- If the product the investors were counting on does not sell like the had hoped that not only delays profits and/or revenue growth it can cause losses (or less profits) 

So to say investos don t care about the game is wrong-  of course the care-

Additonally i have not seen any article or quote from stock analyst, investors ect that said they expcted Mario and micro transactions


No they don't care about the game they never did, all that matters is the money it pulls in investors don't invest based on emotion they look at fundamentals like I explained to you, quality doesn't bring in the most money the products structure does and things like Mario with microtransactions is what investors were hoping for. This is why when Nintendo announced that Mario variant of the Puzzles and Dragons game and people thought it was a mobile title the stock exploded.

What they want is big IPs with microtransactions.


Emotions are what drive the stock market. The selloff of Nintendo stock was emotional. Had other investors done their research they would not have sold their Nintendo stock. Miitomo is going to be a very profitable game just like Tomodauchi life except more protable due to the market size they are tapping into. After the sellout i added more to my position in Nintendo. The company is going to vastly increase their revenues thanks to mobile and it isn't unrealistic to expect the share to appreciated by 300% over the coarse of the next few years. It may even appreciate more than that if nx produces more profits and 3ds/wiiu but you can assume anything when you don't fully know yet what their plans are. However, in the mobile space it's a new business and I think you can assume Nintendo will do quite well in this market based on a variety of reasons.
