Mario and Zelda Save Nintendo From Low Share Prices
After a few rocky patches, Nintendo’s share prices are on the up, after positive critical reception for three recent releases.
Super Mario 3D World, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Mario Party: Island Tour have received very good reviews recently, and this news has caused Nintendo’s stock price on the Tokyo Stock Exchange to rise by 4.2%, a three month high for the Japanese corporation.
As of September 30th, their Wii U console sold 3.91 million units since it’s November, 2012 launch. It’ll be interesting to see how Mario and Zelda will influence the holiday sales for the admittedly under-performing system.
