The dynamite DS can't offset a dearth of games and plummeting GameCube and GBA sales; game giant remains in the black.

 

When analysts (accurately) predicted Sony would see serious losses , many Nintendo loyalists felt some schadenfreude at their archrival's suffering. Today, though, it was the house that Mario that saw its financial foundations shaken by lackluster earnings numbers.

 

According to Reuters' Japanese service, Nintendo Co. Ltd reported a 78.5 percent decline in operating profit for the quarter ending June 30, 2005. Its 13.72 billion yen ($123 million) in operating income was off 3.75 billion yen ($33.4 million) from the same period in 2004. While disappointing, the figures did slow the precipitous decline Nintendo reported in the January-March quarter, when its profit dropped 8.5 billion yen ($75.8 million). Overall, quarterly sales were off 14 percent, weighing in at 70.7 billion yen ($630.6 million).

I'm a big Nintendo supporter because of Nintendogs is the greatest thing since peanut butter. I really hope Nintendo recovers from their slump.

Gens is a Win9x based emulator for the SEGA Genesis/Mega-Drive/Sega-CD/Mega-CD/32X systems.

Since the old version's source code was lost, I have to rebuild them. The new Gens32 will be divided into two editions. One is this, called Surreal, which you need a pretty good PC to run it.

 

Warning:

This is a "core test" version. I released it just for hunting bugs. If you need the funtions more, please use Gens32 v2.35 Secret or Gens32 v1.79 instead.
