Nintendo hits two-year stock high with Animal Crossing success
Global success of Animal Crossing helps boost shares of Nintendo 3DS and Wii U to 14,050 yen.
Nintendo's share price has hit a two-year high, Bloomberg reports, with stock at the Japanese publisher jumping 4 per cent today.
Stock for Nintendo closed at ¥14,050 (approximately $141/£92) a share in the Tokyo stock exchange, the highest for the company since July 2011.
Analysts said that Animal Crossing: New Leaf helped contribute to Nintendo's fortunes, with the company further buoyed with speculation that China might soon lift its ban on handheld consoles.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf finished second in June's NPD charts, behind Sony's PlayStation 3 exclusive The Last of Us. The game was Nintendo's third-biggest 3DS launch in the US, behind Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land.
