Nintendo Shares Fall 40% Ahead of Holiday Test

Gaming coverage spans upcoming releases, this week’s launch slate, award contenders and Nintendo’s business outlook. Major games announced for the first half of 2027 include Stranger Than Heaven, Metroid Ravenous, Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember and Exodus, while this week’s lineup features a mix of role-playing, horror, strategy and party games. A separate preview highlights potential 2026 Game Awards standouts, including indie title Big Walk, while noting that the field for top honors is competitive. Nintendo, meanwhile, faces pressure to meet its Switch 2 sales target after a sharp year-over-year sales decline; analysts see the holiday launch of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time as a possible boost, though the company’s sales goals and rising component costs remain concerns.
