Nintendo shares rose to two-year high, increasing four percent to close at 14,050 yen on the Tokyo Stock exchange.
The key to Nintendo’s recent success in the US has been Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Released last month, the game has been an instant success, setting a record high for launch day sales via the Nintendo eShop. To date the game has moved more than 500,000 units in the United States, boosting the 3DS’ sales to 225,000 in June, making it the best-selling system in the country for the second consecutive month.
