Nintendo Co Ltd fell 2.5 percent after the company reported a 52 percent slide in quarterly profit on Thursday and slashed its full-year forecast, as the Wii console loses its title as the videogame platform to beat.
The benchmark Nikkei gained 102.67 points to 9,993.77, while the broader Topix rose 1 percent to 891.36. (Reporting by Elaine Lies)
