TOKYO -- Nintendo ranks as the most heavily traded stock in the Tokyo market over the past year, as the company reclaimed its status as a top player in the video game industry with red-hot sales for the Switch console.
The company was so unpopular back in 2015 that the president of an electronic parts company wanted to be dissociated from the Kyoto-based game maker. "Please don't call us a Nintendo-related stock anymore," the president said at a news conference for an earnings release.
