Pokémon Pokopia sold over 2.2 million units worldwide in its first four days on Nintendo Switch 2, driving Nintendo's share price up 10.5% — its largest single gain since April 2025. Physical Game-Key Card stock is scarce at major US and UK retailers, with Amazon temporarily raising the price to $79.99. The game received generally positive reviews, with critics praising its sandbox gameplay drawing comparisons to Animal Crossing, Minecraft, and Viva Piñata. Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa acknowledged ongoing concerns about rising memory prices, warning they could affect Switch 2 hardware profitability if sustained.
