You may have heard the news that Nintendo’s stock is on the rise, up 11% in one day after they announced their third party support over the next couple of months via a press release. Don’t excited though: Japanese stock-buys aren’t suddenly loving the company again. The cause of the jump seems to be a shift in value of the yen against the euro, meaning that anyone exporting products from Japan to Europe will be seeing an increase in gains for the time being.
That’s not to say that people might not be suddenly on board with the Big N again or that the increase isn’t substantial (it’s the biggest jump since 2008), but chances are that this is more of a financial-jargon reason than anything we should be invested (pun) in as gamers.

Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch launched in North America and Europe earlier this year. To be clear, this was the PlayStation 3 game – the DS version never made it overseas, in part due to the lengthy book that accompanied the game’s original release in Japan.
You may remember that Ni no Kuni originally started out on the DS before the PS3. Given that, could a follow-up or some kind of port for the 3DS be in the cards?
One Namco Bandai exectuive wouldn’t rule out the possibility when asked by Pocket Gamer. However, in order for something like this to happen, fans would need to show interest.
