Some retailers, such as Target (TGT), have also started to put their Switch 2 units on the sales floor, but they aren't allowing customers to purchase them yet. Others, like Best Buy (BBY), have planned big midnight launch events to attract consumers ready to wait in line for a chance to buy the Switch 2 on its release date.
All of this is to say that the hype around the Switch 2 has continued to grow, and NTDOF stock has benefited from it. The shares have rallied 44.63% year-to-date and will likely continue to do so leading up to the Switch 2's release. The June 5 Switch 2 release could also be a major catalyst for the stock, prompting further gains.
Recent Nintendo Stock Analyst Coverage

Citi analyst Tokiya Baba maintained a Buy rating, but lowered the firm's price target to $91.46 from $97.01, implying an 8.6% upside.
Is Nintendo Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold?
Turning to Wall Street, the analysts' consensus rating for Nintendo is Moderate Buy, based on seven Buy, one Hold, and a single Sell rating over the past three months. With that comes an average NTDOF stock price target of $89.63, representing a potential 6.43% upside for the shares.

Pokemon Presents Announced for July 2025 With Pikachu Speaker Tease
It's that time again, trainers: Grab your Pokedex and get ready to catch some new pocket monsters, because we're about to hear everything on the latest developments in the world of Pokemon. The Pokemon Presents July 2025 stream is the first one since Pokemon Day in February. That stream ended up being pretty massive, featuring game announcements and content updates that we heard whispers about from GameFreak's infamous 2024 data breach. While we don't know what to expect this time around, it's safe to assume that we'll hear about the next mainline games, mobile titles, live service updates and more. Here's how you can watch the upcoming Pokemon Direct -- and what you can expect to see once you tune into the stream. We've seen an official trailer for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, but the upcoming Pokemon Presents stream could divulge more information about the game. Nintendo/Screenshot by CNET How to watch July 2025's Pokemon Presents stream The upcoming Pokemon Presents stream will take place on Tuesday, July 22 at 9 a.m. ET. The stream will go live on the official Pokemon YouTube channel. Not sure when July's Pokemon Presents will go live for you? Here's when the event starts in your time zone: ET: July 22 at 9 a.m. July 22 at 9 a.m. CT: July 22 at 8 a.m. July 22 at 8 a.m. MT: July 22 at 7 a.m. July 22 at 7 a.m. PT: July 22 at 6 a.m. We don't know exactly how long the event will run, but previous Pokemon Presents streams have ranged from 10 to 20 minutes long, depending on how many announcements are prepared for the stream. Pokemon Go just celebrated its ninth anniversary -- we can expect to hear more about this mobile game (among others) during the upcoming Pokemon Direct. Nintendo/Screenshot by CNET What can you expect from Pokemon Presents July 2025? This Pokemon Presents stream is positioned at a strange time -- Pokemon Legends: Z-A for the Nintendo Switch 2 has already been announced and we have plenty of info (and gameplay footage) available for that game. We might still get a segment that expands on new gameplay mechanics or Pokemon that players will be able to find in this version of the Kalos region, especially Mega forms we haven't yet seen. The official Pokemon Company Japan X account teased this Pokemon Direct with a rather foreboding photo of Pikachu standing in front of some DJ equipment, so we might just hear about a Pokemon rhythm game. Between that, New Pokemon Snap and the return of Mystery Dungeon, I'm loving the reintroduction of bizarre offshoot games. It's also possible that generation 10 will be announced during the presentation. There are usually three years between mainline Pokemon titles, and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet released in 2022. Unless GameFreak is looking to polish the next big games with some extra development time, we're probably due to hear about the next generation of Pokemon games extremely soon. Pokemon Day 2025 featured an announcement for Pokemon Champions, a dedicated Pokemon battling game, but we haven't heard much about the game since. We could very well get an update about that game during this stream, explaining more about how the game will integrate the series' long list of battle mechanics and giving us a better idea of when we'll see a full release. Otherwise, the backbone of this presentation will very likely be composed of routine updates and new features for Pokemon mobile and live service games. We can expect to hear about new Pokemon coming to Pokemon Cafe Mix, Pokemon Masters Ex and Pokemon Sleep, with the potential for new playable pocket monsters to be revealed for Pokemon Unite. With Pokemon Go changing hands from Niantic to Scopely, it's also possible that the extremely popular AR game will have announcements that shake up core gameplay features for Pokemon trainers worldwide. The recent addition of the Gold Bottle Cap was already a massive change for the status quo. I'd be willing to bet that the next Pokemon TCG Pocket set will be revealed during this Pokemon Presents as well. New expansions are usually teased at the end of each month, which lines up with this stream. The last Pokemon Presents included info about a massive set expansion, too, so the precedent is already set for this reveal. If you're excited for non-gaming Pokemon content, there's also a chance we'll see some Pokemon Concierge during the Pokemon Presents July stream. The second season for this slice-of-life Pokemon hotel series is set to release on Netflix in September, so we might catch a scene or two teasing the show and get an official release date.

Analogue says its delayed N64 remake console will start shipping next month
US tariffs continue to cause problems and supply issues in the gaming space. The latest to feel the effects is Analogue. The company announced today that its Analogue 3D, a modern remake of the Nintendo 64 console, will not start shipping until late August. Analogue noted that "last week's sudden tariffs" were the reason for this change. "We're absorbing the costs—your preorder price stays the same. No additional charges," the company said in a post on X. This isn't the first time the highly anticipated Analogue 3D has been delayed. It opened for pre-orders in October 2024 and was initially due to ship in the first quarter of 2025. In March, the company pushed the ship date back to July, although its blog post didn't provide a reason for that move. Many gaming brands have been forced to adapt to the fluctuating tariff rules. Nintendo , Sony , Razer and Anbernic are just some of the companies that have changed their product pricing, availability or launches in the US as a result of the ever-changing situation.

The Pro 3 is 8BitDo's first controller with swappable buttons
8BitDo has released a new version of its wireless Pro controller that was last updated in 2021. Many of 8BitDo's recent controller releases, including the Ultimate 2, feature an asymmetrical joystick layout like Nintendo and Microsoft use. But the new Pro 3 mirrors the design of the PlayStation DualSense controller, with side-by-side sticks that are now upgraded with drift-resistant TMR technology. The Pro 3 is also 8BitDo's first controller that lets you easily swap the arrangement of its ABXY buttons. The 8BitDo Pro 2 launched at $49.99 four years ago, but the new Pro 3 is debuting with a slightly steeper $69.99 price. 8BitDo has also switched to using a 1,000mAh rechargeable battery for the Pro 3, and while the company says it offers up to 20 hours of gameplay on a full charge, it's not removable. The Pro 3 includes a convenient charging dock that doubles as storage for its 2.4GHz dongle. When the controller dies, it can still be used while connected to a console via USB, and it will charge while you play. The Pro 3 is available for preorder starting today and officially will be on sale on August 12th. There are three color options, each of which matches different retro consoles: gray (PlayStation), G classic (Game Boy), and purple (GameCube). The Pro 3's design is nearly identical to the Pro 2, but it's gained a few extra buttons. It carries forward the Pro 2's back buttons while introducing an additional set of smaller shoulder buttons. Its triggers also use Hall effect sensors for improved accuracy and durability, while newly added switches let you choose a longer trigger for racing games or a shorter one for faster reaction times in FPS titles. Compatibility includes support for Windows, Android, both Switch consoles (with waking capabilities), SteamOS (you can shake the controller to wake the OLED Steam Deck), and Apple's hardware, with Bluetooth, USB, or wireless 2.4GHz connectivity. Out of the box, the Pro 3 uses the Xbox's button layout, but you can swap the A and B buttons to match Nintendo Switch controllers, or rearrange them all to whatever layout you prefer. The Pro 3 works with 8BitDo's Ultimate Software V2 so that you can remap the layout, and the controller can store and switch between three different custom profiles. Although the ergonomics are questionable, 8BitDo is also including a pair of arcade-style ball-top caps that can be attached to the Pro 3's joysticks.
