Nintendo Co., Ltd. restocked its Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition Switch 2 for preorder on October 7, 2026, while 17 of 27 analysts rated Nintendo stock Buy in the latest available analyst table. CNET reported that the black-and-gold console was available again at USD 520 and is scheduled to reach stores on October 29, 2026.

Holiday hardware adds a new offer

The Zelda edition uses the same upgraded Switch 2 hardware as the standard system but adds themed console, dock and Joy-Con 2 designs. The bundle therefore expands Nintendo's holiday hardware lineup through a limited-edition proposition rather than a new platform specification, according to CNET.

The product timing matters because Nintendo's next six-month earnings release is scheduled for November 5, 2026, according to the company's investor-relations calendar. That date gives investors the next formal checkpoint for hardware demand, software sales and the full-year outlook.

Profit growth needs a closer look

In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, Nintendo reported net sales of JPY 517.80 billion, down 9.50 percent year over year, while operating profit increased 150.50 percent to JPY 142.50 billion. The profit comparison included a US tariff refund, so the 150.50 percent increase does not represent a clean recurring growth rate, according to the published results analysis.

Nintendo also sold 3.82 million Switch 2 units in the first quarter, while hardware sales fell 34.40 percent from the comparable period. The contrast puts more weight on software mix and upcoming releases than on hardware volume alone, especially as the company maintains fiscal 2027 sales guidance of JPY 2.05 trillion and operating profit guidance of JPY 370.00 billion, as described in the same first-quarter analysis.

Nintendo stock remains below its yearly high

On the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Nintendo's primary listing closed at JPY 7,851 on October 8, 2026, according to the latest market data, against a 52-week range of JPY 6,544 to JPY 14,630. The company had a market capitalization of JPY 9.1 trillion on that date, while the analyst table showed an average 12-month target of JPY 10,248.80 and an overall Buy consensus.
