Nintendo Is Soaring After Mario Joins The Apple App Store

Nintendo Co., Ltd (ADR) NTDOY shares are soaring Wednesday afternoon. The stock's ADRs are getting an Apple Inc. AAPL boost.

Nintendo will be bringing the Mario series to Apple's App Store with the new "Super Mario Run" game.

It's been a crazy summer for Nintendo. The stock gained about 70 percent back in early July when Pokemon Go was all the rage. However, after hitting an all-time high of $37.37, it plummeted within a couple weeks after the company admitted that the game has a limited impact on Nintendo's bottom line.
