It's been a massive success for the Japanese gaming brand, but it's getting more difficult for Nintendo to post strong year-over-year growth rates after more than four years since its launch.\nAfter nearly doubling over the last five years, the stock is currently down 24% in 2021. Video game stocks are out of favor with the market right now, but that could represent an opportunity for long-term investors. Nintendo's valuation is starting to look very enticing as the stock is trading at just 13 times trailing-12-month earnings.\nIs Nintendo a steal at these levels, or is it a value trap? Let's first look at near-term growth catalysts.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nNew releases\nNintendo has plenty of new releases coming out to drive sales this holiday season. First up is the new Switch (OLED model), launching on Oct. 8 for $349. The model is priced higher than the $299 for the regular Switch and $199 for Switch Lite, but the new version adds some features.

The model is priced higher than the $299 for the regular Switch and $199 for Switch Lite, but the new version adds some features.
