The last thing I want to see after a 12-hour Saturday night shift is more blood and guts. I see and s...

Though the GBA and Gamecube have taken a hit in sales, Nintendo continues to perform well. From the article: “For the time frame, the company’s bottom line improved considerably, as its net income increased to 92.2 billion yen ($792 million) over the 67.8 billion yen ($583 million) it reported for the same period a year before.
