Can Nintendo's Next Move Redefine Gaming Again?In the high-stakes world of gaming entertainment, Nintendo stands at a fascinating inflection point. With a 69% profit plunge and declining Switch sales, conventional wisdom might suggest trouble for the Japanese gaming giant. Yet, history shows that Nintendo often thrives most when challenged, using periods of transition to revolutionize how we play – just as they did with the Wii's motion controls and the Switch's hybrid concept. The company's current strategy reveals a sophisticated understanding of modern entertainment ecosystems. While managing the sunset of the Switch era, Nintendo is simultaneously expanding its reach through Hollywood partnerships, innovative hardware accessories, and digital services. This multi-pronged approach suggests that Nintendo's vision extends far beyond traditional gaming boundaries, potentially setting the stage for a more comprehensive entertainment experience. What makes this moment particularly intriguing is Nintendo's proven ability to create new market categories rather than just competing in existing ones. As the company prepares to announce its next gaming platform before March 2025, the real question isn't just about new hardware specifications – it's about how Nintendo might once again reshape our understanding of entertainment. With its rich IP portfolio and history of innovation, Nintendo appears to be orchestrating not just a product launch, but potentially a new chapter in how we interact with digital entertainment. The coming months will reveal whether Nintendo can once again transform challenge into opportunity, as it has done repeatedly throughout its 134-year history. For investors and industry observers alike, this represents more than a financial turning point – it's a window into the future of interactive entertainment.

NTDOY | NINTENDO & Nintendo Switch 2 🍄The next Nintendo console might arrive in 2024 Nintendo has reportedly demonstrated the Nintendo Switch 2 behind closed doors at Gamescom last month.some trusted developers got an early look at the Switch 2 and some tech demos of how games run on the unannounced system. There was reportedly a demo of an improved version of Zelda: Breath of the Wild that’s designed to run on the more advanced hardware inside the Nintendo Switch 2, VGC corroborated the claims and revealed that Nintendo also showcased Epic Games’ The Matrix Awakens Unreal Engine 5 tech demo running on the type of hardware Nintendo is targeting for its next console. The demo reportedly used Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling technology with ray tracing enabled, suggesting Nintendo and Nvidia are working on a significant chip upgrade for this next-gen console. in July that a new Nintendo Switch is being planned for a 2024 release. With 43 years of making immensely popular video games under its belt, you'd think that the video game pioneers at Nintendo probably have the business of success fully figured out. But companies must change with the times and, according to Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser, that means finding a way to engage people with the legacy brand that might never pick up a video game controller. Bowser spoke about what the company learned this year during the Nintendo Live event in Seattle, Wa. on Sept 1, referencing the enormous box office success of the "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" as one of its key indicators that Nintendo has the ability to reach an audience beyond those that naturally reach for a controller. "We launched The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which very quickly became the second-largest box office grossing animated film of all time at $1.3 billion," Bowser said. "We launched The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which, 18 million units later after a very brief period of time, it's one of our fastest launch titles ever, and then the event today. So it's really this drumbeat of activities, entertainment-based activities where we're trying to find ways to continue to introduce more and more people, not just players, but people to Nintendo IP… So that's what we're excited about." Bowser also spoke about the launch of Super Nintendo World at Universal Hollywood, which delivered an impressive 25% bump to Comcast's Q1 earnings this year. "And if I think about folding into the bigger strategy, this year has really been a very unique, and I dare say banner year for Nintendo in a lot of ways," Bowser said.Nintendo also continues to benefit from the sales of its aging Nintendo Switch console, with 129.53 million units sold worldwide. That makes it the company's second best-selling console of all time, right behind the handheld Nintendo DS, which sold 154.2 million units before it was discontinued in 2014. The success of "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" drove rumors that another big feature film based on Nintendo's flagship Legend of Zelda series was coming as well, but Nintendo hasn't made a formal announcement about that ... yet. Gaming is in the midst of an M&A arms race. The protracted pandemic has made sure of that. Companies from all sides of the market, Microsoft, Take Two, Sony to name a few, are cutting deals to secure content. The volume and scale of those deals point to where gaming is heading - the precipice of major shake-ups across its core commercial and distribution models. Microsoft's eye bulging $69 billion deal for Activision is a testament to that shift. Costly as the deal is, it's arguably a small price to pay to secure some of the biggest franchises in gaming: Call of Duty, Warcraft, Candy Crush and Overwatch. Even more so, considering those titles span a community of 400 million active monthly players. In other words, the deal is the boldest sign yet that content is the future of gaming, not consoles. Should you invest in Nintendo? The question comes down to whether you are willing to pay about SGX:40B for Nintendo's IP and potential earnings powers. To me, a company that continues to produce in-demand and profitable content is worth that price tag, especially after having generated a net profit of 432.7B yen, or $2.97B in FY2023. That's a P/E of about 13.5 after subtracting out Nintendo's current assets - not a hefty sum given everything Nintendo has going for it. Nintendo's strategy seems to be working, with The Super Mario Bros. Movie not only performing well on its own but also providing a boost to other Nintendo offerings. While there are concerns, there are also plenty of catalysts moving ahead. I am excited to see new Nintendo initiatives including more theatrical releases of their IP and their (positive) effects on the rest of the company's products.

NTDOY to 90$ in 2021? (Swing and Long term trade idea)I have been in a NTDOY swing earlier this year catching the run from November to Jan. For some odd reason (and I know we shouldn't trade on emotion) I kind of miss holding NTDOY. So, I had told myself I would look into a long-term entry at some point in time in 2021. Fundamentals: > Pays a nice dividend (although fluctuating based on profit) > Not a Sony, not an XBox -- but better? The flagship switch is a handheld + a TV plug-in console. Meanwhile, Nintendo holds great nostalgic IP with Mario, Zelda and gang, which makes it a product millennial parents want to return to for their kids too. > Theme park -- Although not the scale of Disney, Nintendo's partnership with Universal will lead to the opening of parks across Tokyo (opened now) Florida, Hollywood, and Singapore by 2025. Unlike Disney where they keep the revenue, Nintendo's deal appears to be mainly through licensing. But, more than how much revenue Nintendo can make here, the big shift is how Nintendo is diversifying. This is what you want to see in a long-term stock. > Cathie Wood -- ARKK was investing big on NTDOY from the Nov drop and kept buying the stock consistently until March, which is when they started selling a little. A quick look at ARKK's holdings and you note Nintento is still a top 25 holding as off March 11, while (and I manually calculated this seeing they sold a little on March 11 and 12) -- they hold roughly about 4,595,000 shares of NTDOY in their portfolio today. This tells me that while Nintendo isn't viewed as Tesla style innovation play, there are still big things expected from their expanding eco-system in order to create value. > It doesn't end at the Switch. Nintendo has been rumored to be launching a new Nintendo Switch 2 (Switch Pro) device. This was expected to be announced Q1 2021, but with COVID, this has been pushed to 2022. Strategies: Swing: I am not getting into a swing here. But, for anyone interested, it's not a bad set up in my opinion. From where the stock is at present, there could be a 14% upside in the coming month. Enter - $69-70 Profit target: 14% upside with 80$ Profit target SL set just below 64$ Long-term strategy (hold until 2022 or beyond): I expect some risks towards summer of 2021 (or later in the year?), which could see the price in the range of 57-62$ for a great long-term entry. I would personally think for a long-term strategy, enter in the $68-70 range as an initial position and dollar cost average down if the weakness comes through. NTDOY is just bouncing off the 200 MA currently, so you're not buying at a high starting price. Compared to many other gaming stocks, Nintendo is well-aged and reliable and still very relevant. It is a slower moving stock than some other gaming stocks, but if you're looking for a reliable long-term play, this seems like a great dividend paying play to keep in the bag. Good luck traders.

Hands off my bread! Let's go, Nintendo! The Age of Mar 10 is about to come and Q2 is about to begin! Why do I have a feeling that you will release the new hardware and games the day after Nvidia Reports its earnings!!? Fundamentally sound. IP alone is worth a billion dollars. Handheld market will be back in the full swing w/ the new Mini console! All indicators point to an oversold company. The product line is solid; games have a very successful attachment rate; accessories are great additions; movie production swinging in gear, the amusement park in the works, summer Olympics of 2020 and toys toys toys!! Lets go!
