Nintendo Switch 2 could have a huge Co-Op QoL feature on the couch

Nintendo seems to be working on a useful technology that could help the Switch 2 deliver a vastly improved sofa co-op experience.

At the time of writing on November 6, US NASDAQ reports that Nintendo shares are valued at $13.19, up an extra 2.49% from where trading ended in Japan. Nintendo shares closed the same day in Japan up 5.80%, marking a massive rebound from the previous day's decline of -4%. Analysts believe the announcement of backwards compatibility on the upcoming successor to the Nintendo Switch console has earned back investor confidence, following recent concerns that the next hardware offering could be a “risk”. While official details about the next Nintendo console haven't been fully announced, tidbits of information such as backwards compatibility seem to hold some promise for shareholders and hopeful fans.

Nintendo has over 6% in stock in Japan and the US

In January 2024, Nintendo's stock hit a new high, thanks in large part to the launch of big 2023 hits like Super Mario Bros. Wonder and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Other driving factors included the theme park partnership between Nintendo and Universal Studios, the success of the The Super Mario Bros. Movieand early rumors of the then-unconfirmed Switch successor console. Unfortunately, Nintendo faced negative returns soon after, as the continued lack of official announcements about its next hardware offering quickly dispelled investor intrigue. Thankfully for the gaming giant, the revelation of backwards compatibility seems to have been enough to turn the trade in its favor, although it remains to be seen if the recent upward trend will continue or if Nintendo's value will decline again.

As the end of the year approaches, many are keeping a close eye on the market value of Nintendo stock. Audiences and shareholders alike are crossing their fingers that an official Switch 2 reveal will be right around the corner, so fans will want to keep their eyes peeled for when Nintendo finally make the big announcement.
