Nintendo’s shares went up a little less than one percent following the success of Mario Kart 8 in yesterday’s NPD figures. Nintendo’s latest kart racer Mario Kart 8 came in second place just behind Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs. Nintendo also announced that the Nintendo 3DS was the second best-selling gaming hardware in the United States in May. Ubisoft’s shares also went up a little less than one percent.
Nintendo Shares Went Up A Little Less Than 1 Percent After Good NPD Results
That’s a good thing. It may not be very large, but it’s a start and that’s what counts.
lololololololololol
I wont give a fuck about nintendo until they buy Capcom.
The chances are pretty high. Games like Megaman, Monster hunter and Resident Evil exclusively for the Wii U would definitely stop it from failing, right?
Street Fighter too.
Chances are not high at all. Right now, it’s not up for sale or buyout. There’s a possible hostile takeover by investors though. POSSIBLE. If the supposed investor does take over and then puts it on the market, I still don’t think Nintendo would budge.
A third party, likely a Japanese one, would be most suited to buy out Capcom in this unlikely case. There are too many platform exclusive properties in the works (with contracts) for a console manufacturer to acquire.
its not unlikely dude, it may not be likely either but their is a fair chance they could, they are kinda obsessed with megaman right now.
It’s highly improbable. People were saying the same thing when ATLUS was up for sale. The main thing is, Capcom is not even up for a buyout at all right now.
Lets just agree to disagree, because none of you guys can be proven right about it being likely or not. One thing is sure though, Nintendo is definitely in love with Capcom characters and games such as Megaman and Monster hunter.
There’s nothing to prove. There’s no buyout on the tables for Capcom right now. This is an exaggerated/uneducated rumor that has been spread regarding a possible hostile takeover from shareholders.
Everyone above is saying WHEN Capcom is for sale.
Nobody said when – except me.
Dude give up and except that you lost
When he meant “saying”, he meant “is talking about”. Now lets stop because this isnt going anywhere.
Capcom’s statement: http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/news/html/e140616a.html
follow up comments suck ass, anyways back on topic, do you see that guys post right above you? yeah what he said. Self-righteous much bro?
Throwing insults when you have nothing proper to reply with. Nice.
Wow facepalm
Not an insult when its true.
It’s confirmed, actually. Capcom is not renewing their defense against a hostile takeover.
The majority shareholders did not vote to keep the defense instituted. That’s all. This just means there’s a possibility for shareholders to now try to have a hostile takeover. Doesn’t mean there will be and it’s not saying Capcom is up for sale either.
At the same time, in that same press release, Capcom noted that they will try to find other legal means to prevent this from happening.
Even in the case that there is a hostile takeover, one of Capcom’s partners – another gaming company – is not going to be the one to do it. If they do, they can kiss all other partnerships goodbye. Nintendo needs all the partners they can get right now. They wouldn’t be foolish enough to do it.
The last scenario is that a shareholder who isn’t a gaming partner buys up most shares and then puts them on the market. If this case (however unlikely) happens, then other gaming companies might bail Capcom out. Still, knowing how the industry is moving, it’s unlikely that a console manufacturer will.
One article I read said it would be 51% of their shares up for sale which means if Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo bought those shares, they’d have Capcom as a 2nd party developer for their consoles. If this ends up being the actual case, I’d want Nintendo to buy it. We need some good games to replace the ones we lost when Nintendo sold off their shares of Rare to Microsoft.
what exclusives those Capcom have in the makes right now, dead rising 3 is no longer a exclusive if you try to use that one
No one said anything about Capcom making exclusives right now.
Simply G said.
“There are too many platform exclusive properties in the works (with contracts) for a console manufacturer to acquire.”
Not too high up.
I spoke about exclusive properties prior.
wow thats……lame. less than 1% like 0.50% or 0.75%. still lame
Nintendo really is dying….. said no one ever.
Yeah, if anything, Sony are the one’s dying.
Yet won’t say Ubisoft is dying since it went up less than 1% too.
who said that?
Up % is a good thing…. Unlike most stocks which are down by like 5%.
lol get some education and work out what 0.5% of 17.7 billion is and tell me that’s lame kid.
holy shit this site still exists
It could be a start of an avalanche.
As some people say, 1 percent is better than zero percent
stock movement had zero to do with NPD numbers. The stock has been in a trading range for months. Mostly it moves depending on the dollar/yen. Site is clueless
Is that bad or good? What is normal?
For shareholders is good news. Actually the Nintendo stocks rise ~7% in the last 3 months.
Exactly what Anonymous said.
I wonder when the MK8 amiibos will be released.
I don’t think Nintendo is making game exclusive amiibos since the amiibos they have planned can be used with multiple future games & Mario Kart 8.
If you actully know shares and nintendos overall worth 0 .5-1% will probably mean a shite load of cash
Which also means more staff, more dev teams, more purchases, more GAMES.
LOL Nintendo and Ubisoft are such big companies that when their best games products sell very well their shares only go up 1 percent or less. That is just amazing congratulations to both Nintendo and Ubisoft, especially Ubisoft because they aren’t as old as Nintendo.
Yep. :D
Who cares? Only investors or corporate salves care about crap like this. Nintendo’s stock could rise 1000000% and Xenoblade will still not be released in 2014. Play games not stocks you clowns.
You came back?
Meanwhile at Valve…
Meanwhile, they’re developing a failed PC console mutant thing A.K.A Steam Box
Whoever thought that Steam Boxes are gonna be a success are only Valve and crew. Quote me on this, screenshot if you must, but the total sales of Steam Boxes will NOT scratch 10 million by 2016. I can swear to you that won’t happen
If Steam has plenty of retro games that you can’t get anywhere else, I’m sure they will sell plenty of them if they aren’t too expensive.
I wonder how much Nintendo shares would go up if Nintendo bought out Capcom.
Maybe Sickr should better word this. Some people on this site might think this is bad news.
Please Nintendo, buyout Capcom!
The real story should be that NTDOY shares are up over 10% this month.
