Due to the announcement of the AoV Game that will be able to be played on Nintendo Switch, as a result, Nintendo’s stock price rose drastically by more than 7 percent.

The WSJ also reported that before the news broke, Nintendo had been looking at various ways in order to develop in China which ultimately considered Tencent as a potential partner. Earlier insiders said that Nintendo thought about selling the Wii U to China but in the end it didn’t happen.

The gaming market in China itself has proven lucrative for games company Nintendo in recent years. The game company has added a Chinese language option to its biggest game titles such as Pokémon games and Super Mario Odyssey. Even Nintendo has included Nintendo’s most prominent Wii game titles into the NVIDIA Shield in China.
