Not everyone was so happy after Nintendo announced their first smartphone game, Miitomo — specifically the investors. As you may remember, following the Miitomo announcement from Tatsumi Kimishima, Nintendo stock plummeted to the lowest point in Kimishima-san’s tenure as president. However, a week has passed and it seems like the fallout from the incident is subsiding — Nintendo stock is on the rise again, spiking within the past day. Check a look at the financial charts below for the last three months:
That’s good.
It’s because Miitomo sounds fucking stupid.
Could be worse. Could be Miitomo U.
This is going to be my best comment in my tenure of MNN and no one will ever see it.
Edit: With this many likes, I am clearly wrong.
>>>We don’t appreciate self-indulgence within the empire Ambassador>>>
That was genius..
GOD BLESS RUSH HOUR 3
Touché!
Personally it looks pretty interesting to me. But we don’t really know much about it so it’s hard to say. It should be the only non- game, because it’s the only free to play, the rest are pay to download. (Talking about the first five, not every Ninetendo app ever.)
Is there any official information confirming that? I’m asking because I’m sure I read it somewhere, but I don’t know if it came from an official source.
Yes it came from the Nintendo president (or is it CEO?) himself.
That would be the same job in this case, so it’s a ‘yes’ to both.
Oh ok.
*new Miitomo U 3d
I’m mad you liked your own comment lmao
“Lou Contaldi is the funniest guy I know.” Me, probably.
I like that attitude!
Miitomo is going to be fantastic, it will enhance the WiiUs messaging system while attracting new customers.
What messaging system? Lol
C’mon, we have swapnote on the 3DS!
Oh, wait…
Lol!
Don’t count on it. It’s set to be released next March, and by that time the Wii U will be all but dead while Nintendo pushes full throttle on the NX.
Since when the E3 is in March, we wont hear a thing of the NX until then and it wont be released until much later in 2016 or 2017, we got a lot more of Wii U, wether you like it or not.
Awesomtacular!

I don’t know how to read stock, but lol it goes up and down a lot, doesn’t it? :D
Here is the long and short of it — stock shows investor confidence. When it goes up, people believe that the company is doing well and are buying stock. When it dips, people are afraid of their investments and selling their shares.
So what to look for is the news on those days. During the Wii era, stock was around $70 a share — now we are around $20.
Argh. Buy it while it’s cheap, resell when the NX comes out!
I posit that the Miitomo backlash is a result of taking the app out of its cultural context. http://wp.me/p6YVgB-3 Thoughts? @lmcontaldi
