Nintendo's share price dropped seven percent on Monday as investors reacted to ongoing production cost pressures and the absence of major game releases in 2026. The decline came despite a recent price increase for the Switch 2 console.
Markets opened in Japan on Monday with Nintendo shares falling seven percent. This followed last week's announcement of a fifty dollar price increase for the Switch 2, which the company said would not fully cover rising expenses from computer components and oil prices. Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa noted that the adjustment does not account for all cost increases.
