"Stocks, share prices, and other things of that nature aren’t usually something we cover. After all, those tend to fluctuate often, and can do so quickly. However, Pokemon GO has made such an impact for Nintendo that we’re willing to make an exception.

Business Insider reports that Nintendo shares rose roughly 10 percent on Friday. And today, in early trading in Tokyo, shares increased as much as 23 percent. Bloomberg’s David Ingles notes that this is the best one-day move for Nintendo stock since 1983."

*Inb4 Teeqoz says something smart about stocks*

Wow. Pokemon go sure is going pretty fap worthy so far

A big jump, but is most likely an initial reaction and will level off soon enough

Dayum, Teeqoz you hearing this?

Doomed of course... oh who am I kidding. This is great news. They've done it again. And keep in mind, this game is rumored to make 1.6 Million a day, I don't know any investor who wouldn't want to at least get a piece of that. And it's only the beginning.

This is what Nintendo needs to do, and should have done a few years ago. Diversify onto other platforms. Not necessarily go full third party and make games for other consoles, but they can and should make their games available for phones, tablets and PCs. They can do hardware, though I think they should stick to tried and true methods of designing hardware and make sure that the costs of the hardware mostly goes towards performance rather than wasting costs on extra features that are not core to console gaming. If they want to add extra stuff make it separate and opt in.

Not even out in Japan.... Think about that for awhile

.... Oh Dear Mother of God.

PKMN GO will make up for Wii U's entire life cycle before the fiscal year is over. It's insane the power one successful app can have.
