Nintendo's Switch 2 launch (2025) reset the hardware cycle after a long tail on Switch 1. IP monetisation beyond hardware — mobile, theme parks, film — is maturing. The Zelda movie and Mario franchise continue to expand the moat beyond gaming. Balance sheet with net cash exceeding ¥1T and consistent buybacks provides downside protection. Key risk is first-party software cadence post-launch.
