Nintendo reports record profits

Recession? What recession? In the 2008 fiscal year that ended March 21, 2009, Nintendo has reported an 8.5% rise in its net annual profits, making just under 279.1 billion yen ($2.83 billion).

Sure, it's a far cry from the 47.7% rise the company posted the previous year, but, keep in mind, that previous year was chock full of Wii hysteria and DS envy, and was preceded by a console lull that happened as the Wii was being developed. In other words, it would have been shocking had Nintendo not had a huge 2007 fiscal year. The fact 2008 showed gains over 2007, particularly in this economy, is a big deal.

In fiscal '08, Nintendo moved 26 million Wii consoles and 31.2 million DSes. Add to those astonishing numbers the fact that the year saw 62 Wii and DS titles (both first and third party) reach one million copies sold life-to-date, and you've got some mighty impressive record profits in the middle of a craptacular economy. Nice work, Nintendo!

'Ghostbusters' release date finally confirmed for PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii

While the release date of the highly anticipated Ghostbusters videogame has been hovering over June 16th for some time, it was only today that we received official confirmation that the mid-June date is, indeed, when the game will arrive in the US (followed three days later in Europe).

This confirmation is great news for a title that has hit many a bump in the road, including copyright and publishing issues. We're pleased as punch that copyright cleared and Atari was able to grab the game so it will be able to be released it alongside the Ghostbusters 25th Anniversary Blu-Ray DVD.

The Ghostbusters videogame was written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, some say in lieu of a third film. The original cast, including Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson, will be starring in the title.

'Pikmin' Walkthrough and Strategy Guide complete!

If the Nintendo Gamecube passed you and your family by, then you missed one of the greatest family-friendly videogames ever made. Thank goodness it has been remade for the Nintendo Wii as part of its "New Play Control!" series!

Safe for kids and strategically challenging for most adults, Pikmin casts you as Captain Olimar, a victim of a stray meteor who must command Pikmin to fight predators, break barriers, and retrieve lost ship parts, all while continuing to build forces. Providing hours of strategic planning, Pikmin is a great $30 buy (or even a great rental).

And, of course, while you're trying to figure out how to get that darn Omega Stabilizer away from the poisonous Mushroom Monster, you're going to want the LB Pikmin Game Guide by your side.

• Detailed walkthrough
• 100% Completion
• All Ship Parts
• Detailed day-by-day guide

Cure for Nintendo thumb? Nintendo coffee table!

There are few things that really get me to A) want to pull out my tools and build something and B) learn basic wiring. This coffee table did it.

You see, it's not just a functional controller, it's a work of art. The woodworking and painting...just magical. Time to pull out my Home Depot Repair Everything book.

Thanks to Erin, who posted this on our message boards.

GTA DS coming this winter, GTAIV sells 10 million copies

Reporting earnings for its third fiscal quarter yesterday, GTA publisher Take-Two Interactive made two big announcements. First, the company announced sales for GTAIV have reached the 10 million mark. For those keeping track, that's an additional 1.5 million copies since the company's last report on May 31st.

The second Take-Two tidbit should be exciting for DS gamers, as it was also announced that GTA: Chinatown Wars, the first GTA title to hit the Nintendo handheld, will be released sometime in the first quarter of the company's 2009 fiscal year. For those who don't speak Take-Two fiscal, that means we'll see the game anywhere from November 1, 2008 to January 31, 2009.

If you're wondering if the DS title will be in stores for Holiday '08, there's no guarantee. However, I'd say that if they miss it, they'll miss the first quarter altogether and use it for a second quarter profit boost.

Nintendo raises profit outlook - shares do double jump

Shares of Nintendo closed up more than 8% today on an updated profit forecast which beat expected profits by 26%.

The company said it expects to post net income of 410 billion yen, or $3.8 billion, for the year ending March 31, surpassing Wall Street's expectations of 382.6 billion, according to Bloomberg. That anticipated performance marks a 59 percent increase in profits over the previous year.

Of course, the reason for the success is the Wii, Wii Fit, and the DS, plus all of the software that they sell.
