Update 2: Added a weather video after the break.
Update: Added YouTube links for both videos below.
Original: Ahead of the NX reveal later today where the game might be making an appearance, Nintendo has slightly updated the Japanese website for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
While no new information has technically been added, the website now plays two new videos, titled “In this World” and “In This Era”. Both mostly show footage from the plateau we’ve seen plenty of at E3, but it’s nonetheless nice to see the game in motion.
Nintendo stocks rise by nearly 5% following the announcement of the NX trailer
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 13 Comments
The rise and fall of Nintendo’s stocks over the last couple of years has been interesting, to say the least. After declining for years following the tepid response to the Wii U, shares have been surging lately once Nintendo entered the mobile gaming market. The company’s various smartphone ventures, including Super Mario Run and Pokemon GO (despite Nintendo’s limited involvement with that one), caused tremendous increases to Nintendo’s stock values.
However, it seems like shareholders are excited by more than just mobile news – following last night’s announcement of the reveal trailer for the NX, Nintendo’s shares have risen by 4.6%, which added more than $1 billion in market value.
Of course, the is just the prelude to the main event. Will the actual NX reveal see shares rise even more, or will they drop back down?
Nintendo calls NX a “home gaming system”

What exactly is the NX? One tomorrow’s preview trailer arrives, we should have a much better idea. But for now, there is still plenty of uncertainty surrounding the system.
Interestingly, Nintendo is labeling NX as a “home gaming system”. That comes directly from the company’s North American home page here.
Stay tuned.

It’s been a (very) long time coming, but we’ll finally be hearing something about NX tomorrow straight from Nintendo. The big N is releasing a trailer at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET tomorrow morning.
The use of the term “trailer” here should imply that this won’t be anything too long like a Nintendo Direct, but now we know exactly what to expect. Nintendo said on its Japanese Twitter account that the video will run for three minutes.
