  • Nintendo Shares Jump 18% as Surprise Hit 'Pokémon Pokopia' Boosts Switch 2 Sales Hopes
    March 12, 2026, 9:42 AM EDT. Nintendo's shares surged 18% this week following the unexpected success of "Pokémon Pokopia," which sold 2.2 million units in its first four days.

Investors are optimistic that this hit could accelerate Switch 2 sales, aligning with Nintendo's fiscal year sales forecast of 19 million units. Despite the rally, Nintendo's stock remains down about 28% over six months amid concerns over rising memory costs affecting margins. Analysts noted "Pokémon Pokopia" combines deep gameplay and multiplayer features, adding notable momentum to Nintendo's gaming lineup.
