When Is the Next Nintendo Direct?

It's been a little over a month since the last Nintendo (NTDOF) Direct, and gamers are starting to wonder when the next Direct will be. New rumors claim that Nintendo plans to release its next Direct around the same time as the Switch 2's launch, which is scheduled for June 5, 2025.
Confident Investing Starts Here:
According to these rumors, Nintendo plans to release the Direct the same week as the Switch 2's launch, or during the following week. If true, this would likely provide gamers and investors with more details about the company's upcoming games.
While Nintendo revealed many details about Switch 2 games, such as the release dates for Mario Kart World Tour and Donkey Kong Bananza, others, like Metroid Prime 4, still don't have launch dates. A new direct could include this information while also showing new gameplay footage to build excitement for upcoming games during the Switch 2's release.
Analysts Remain Bullish Ahead of the Switch 2's Release
Three analysts updated their coverage of Nintendo stock last week as the company's new console launch is just around the corner.
Four-star Benchmark Co. analyst Mike Hickey reiterated a Buy rating and increased his price target to $91.18 from $82.77, representing a potential 10.86% upside.
Citi analysts Tokiya Baba maintained a Buy rating, but cut their NTDOF price target to $92.58 from $98.20, suggesting a 12.57% upside.
J.P. Morgan analyst Junko Yamamura kept a Buy rating and raised her price target to $107.31 from $93.99, implying a 30.47% upside.
Is NTDOF 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 one Sell rating over the last three months. With that comes an average NTDOF stock price target of $89.45, representing a potential 8.75% upside for the shares.

Nintendo Switch 2 Restock Finally Makes Console Available to Buy

A fresh Nintendo Switch 2 restock has finally made the console available to buy again, with buyers finding that two stores have refreshed their inventory. The Switch 2 has been selling like hotcakes since it launched earlier this month, as buyers snapped up the long-awaited hardware. While many stores are still listing it as unavailable to purchase, buyers have noted that two stores have availability. However, given how quickly the console is selling out across the U.S., you'll need to be quick to purchase the system. The Switch 2's restocked units are available for purchase in Costco and in select GameStop stores. GameStop doesn't have units currently available online, though some stores currently have stock. Prospective buyers can search for their local store to see if any are available. Buy the Nintendo Switch 2 at Costco See if the Switch 2 is available at your nearby GameStop Costco purchases are only available with a membership, which is available for $65 a year. Nintendo managed to supply a lot of demand for the Switch 2 at launch, with it smashing sales records by shifting 3.5 million units within its first four days. Due to the overwhelming popularity of the console, it's become difficult for buyers to get their hands on one post-launch. Hopefully, more restocks will happen sooner rather than later. The post Nintendo Switch 2 Restock Finally Makes Console Available to Buy appeared first on PlayStation LifeStyle.

How to buy the Nintendo Switch 2: Latest stock updates at Best Buy, Walmart, Target and more

The Nintendo Switch 2 has been available in the US for more than two weeks — but good luck finding one. The $450 console officially went up for sale on June 5, and several retailers have offered it both online and in-store in the days since. While millions of people have been able to snag the device, online inventory dried up fairly quickly at most stores soon after launch and remains difficult to find today. Target and Best Buy restocked shortly after launch, but those didn't last long, and the latter required in-store pickup. You may also be able to grab a bundle at Costco if you're a member there. Otherwise, it's slim pickings as of our latest sweep. Broadly speaking, people had a bit more luck on launch week by venturing to a physical retail store. We can't guarantee you'll still be able to snag a Switch 2 the old-fashioned way, but it's worth checking if a local Target, Best Buy, Walmart or GameStop — the four official retailers Nintendo lists on its store page — still has consoles in stock. Either way, if you're still on the hunt, we've rounded up all of the latest information we could find on how to buy the Nintendo Switch 2 and where you can pick one up. Walmart also began online purchases at midnight ET on June 5. Currently, both the Mario Kart World bundle and the standalone console are "available" via third-party retailers, but listed for much higher than their standard $500 and $450 price tags — with limited quantities available. We wouldn't recommend buying these; instead, wait for the console to be listed at its regular MSRP. Naturally, the world's largest retailer is also selling the console at its brick-and-mortar locations, though the company has noted that quantities are limited and inventory will vary by location. Best Buy began selling the Switch 2 at its retail locations on June 5. It previously said it wouldn't sell the handheld at its online store during launch week, but it made additional consoles available on June 11 around 12PM ET. That restock lasted for the better part of an hour and required in-store pickup, but the device is now sold out again. Target had the Switch 2 in stores on June 5 and restocked its online inventory for at least a couple of hours starting around 3:30AM ET on June 6. It then had another restock on June 12 around 2:30PM ET, but that appears to have died out in less than an hour. It still looks to be fully sold out as we write this, but you should see if there's any stock at the stores closest to you just to be safe. GameStop has advertised in-store availability, though exactly how much stock your local store may have will vary by location. Online, the device has been unavailable for the past week, with the listings for the base console and Mario Kart bundle now pointing to a "Find a Store" page. We saw a $625 bundle that includes Mario Kart World , a microSD Express card and a few other accessories pop up a bit more frequently than the standard SKUs, but it's no longer listed (and it was kind of a raw deal anyway). You may still have some luck at certain membership-based retailers. A Mario Kart World bundle at Costco that includes a 12-month Switch Online subscription has gone in and out of stock since launch day. Sam's Club has had a bundle without the Switch Online sub as well, though it's out of stock now. We also saw the console at BJ's early on June 5, but it's no longer live there. Verizon briefly had the Switch 2 available on launch day, but that's dried up, and only those with Verizon service were able to order. Amazon hasn't had any form of Switch 2 listing on its website, nor has it listed Mario Kart World . The company didn't take pre-orders for the Switch 2 either, so it's unclear if and when it will sell the device. You can, however, find some Switch 2 games. Newegg has listed the Switch 2 on its site for several weeks, but it's given no indication as to when it'll begin sales. It previous showed a couple listings from a third-party seller, but at massively inflated prices. With all of these stores, we've seen the Mario Kart World bundle available in greater quantities online than the base console, which costs $50 less. But given that Mario Kart is the Switch 2's biggest launch game and retails for $80 on its own, that may not be the worst thing. Nintendo, meanwhile, is only offering the Switch 2 via an invite system. This requires you to have been a Switch Online member for at least 12 months and logged at least 50 hours of Switch 1 playtime as of April 2. It can't hurt to sign up if you meet the criteria, but don't expect it to bear fruit immediately — it's taken weeks for many people who registered in April to receive their invite. You can find a list of every Switch 2 retail listing we could find below. Just be aware that this is meant to be a reference, not a rundown of everywhere the device is available right this second. Where to buy Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle: Where to buy Switch 2: Nintendo is selling a number of Switch 2 accessories alongside the console, from its (pricey) Pro Controller to cases to cameras for the new GameChat feature. Most of these became available on June 5. The same goes for games like Mario Kart World and the Switch 2 version of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom . Another big Switch 2 release, Donkey Kong Bananza , won't be available until mid-July but is still up for pre-order now. As of Friday afternoon, just about all Switch 2 games are broadly available. Stock for the accessories remains a little spottier, but most devices are still available at multiple retailers. Nintendo's official Switch 2 carrying cases have bee the main exceptions, so you may need to look to third-party alternatives if you want some protection for your console right away.

Switch 2賣爆推動任天堂股價創新高 遊戲行業成全球動盪之中的避風港

【彭博】-- 在全球動盪之際，任天堂強勁的銷售成長吸引了尋求避險的投資者的更多目光，該公司股價因此創下兩個月來最大漲幅並觸及紀錄新高。 該股周三一度上漲7.1%，連續第五天上漲，因為有跡象表明市場對Switch 2有巨大的需求。截至6月11日的數據顯示，這款備受期待的新遊戲主機在發布後的四天內售出逾350萬台，反響遠超八年前的初代Switch。 「由於美國和日本未能在七國集團(G-7)峰會的間隙就關稅措施達成協議，資金正在流入受關稅影響較小的遊戲行業，」東洋證券分析師Hideki Yasu稱。 其他的遊戲公司股價也紛紛走高，這個行業被認為對關稅不確定性和地緣政治前景惡化更具抵禦能力。Square Enix Holdings Co.一度上漲4.7%，萬代南夢宮漲3.9%。 日本的公司控制著全球兩大遊戲平台 —— 索尼的PlayStation和任天堂的Switch —— 以及一些極為成功的系列遊戲，如《艾爾登法環》和《超級馬裡奧》 。 原文標題Nintendo Extends Gains to Record on Booming Sales of Switch 2 More stories like this are available on ©2025 Bloomberg L.P.
