1. Nintendo has become the richest company in Japan, but its stock price is **
According to foreign media reports, Nintendo now holds 1,718.6 billion yen (about 82.3 billion yuan) in cash and reserves, without any debt, surpassing Shin-Etsu Chemical and other manufacturing companies to become the company with the highest cash flow in Japan.
All this is thanks to the continuous development of Switch games in recent years, and Nintendo's cinematic route.
Last year's The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Super Mario Bros. Marvel, and The Mario Movie were all huge revenues for Nintendo.
However, the hot sales of Switch games have also made Nintendo more cautious about the release of next-generation consoles. Nintendo is rumored to have postponed plans to release a new console in 2024, and it may be revealed in June that the Switch 2 console may not be available until 2025.
Affected by this, some games that are ready to land on Switch2 may also land on Switch early this year, such as Metroid Prime 4, two new mainline Pokémon games and more unannounced Mario games will be released within the year.
The negative news is that investors expressed disappointment with Nintendo, with shares trading at **8 on Monday8%, the biggest drop since October 2021.
It is estimated that Nintendo is also very entangled now, on the one hand, the switch can't give up, and on the other hand, it is also afraid of repeating the mistakes of Wiiu.
Overall, Nintendo may not have enough confidence in the function of the Switch2, adhering to the ostrich mentality that can drag on for a day.
But this method of playing dead is not a long-term solution, it can only accumulate the dissatisfaction of players, it is better to announce it as soon as possible and give everyone an expectation.

Sony's streaming handheld PS portal is rumored to have been hacked by hackers, and it can install PPSSP emulators and run PSP games, which is really a PSP.
PS Portal is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor, an 8-inch 60Hz screen, and the controller supports adaptive triggers, but can only stream PS5 games.
Due to the low performance of the processor, it can run some of the previous generation emulators at most after cracking, but if you can brush the Android system, the playability is still very high.
