Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo's share price takes a -4% hit after MP4's announcement.

Zooming in far enough on any graph can make it look scary lol

This is of zero consequence.

Looking at this numbers it's pretty clear the Metroid series is not the biggest by a wide margin. Hell, considering how much time and efford Metroid games can take to develop, Fire Emblem games are still probably more profitable, so they would have the priority for Nintendo.

So what can they do to make Metroid bigger?

I think they need a good marketing hook to convince non-Metroid fans to try out the game, at least. Whether its a demo, a Metroid Prime 4 focused-direct, or something. It worked with Xenoblade 2 (though it didn't have a demo) as it was consistently present throughout 2017 as a big game for Nintendo Switch, even though the series has been historically niche. It also didn't hurt that the launch was not too far away from the initial reveal so the iron was hot enough to help Xenoblade 2 become the best-selling Xeno game in the franchise. Same with Fire Emblem Awakening and Fates. Part of the reasons why they did well was because Nintendo promoted casual mode (which the Japan-only remake of New Mystery of the Emblem had as well, but...) and provided a demo for Awakening to entice newcomers.



So everything for that today...It is getting back earlier than I thought.

 



This is stupid, simply because while I have always loved Metroid, it's not really a system seller. It's more niche than many of Nintendo's B tier franchieses. It has less selling power that pre-awakening fire emblem and on par with pikmen.

I believe it, but where are you getting those numbers from?



They could upgrade Metroid from "moderate niche seller" to "mass seller" with the appropriate marketing for the 6 months before the launch.



Oh no, will they ever recover?????

Of course they will, because this is the stock market and nothing matters.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

no. Nvidia is to blame.

I dont think Metroid can effect on stocks, its not like we talking about Pokemon, Mario, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing or Zelda.

Most likely that little fall is because Nvidia slashed their profit for this FY, and because Switch using Nvidia chipset that effected on Nintendo stocks also, in any case,
stocks are almost on same level like they were few days ago.
