Nintendo posts strong profit, announces slimmer handheld
Japan’s Nintendo reported a strong third-quarter profit on Thursday, helped by solid demand for its game software, but kept its forecast for the full year lower than expected even as it unveiled a higher-end DS portable game device.
Nintendo, known for games featuring characters such as Mario, Donkey Kong and Pokemon, also said it will launch a thinner, lighter version of its DS portable device, called "Nintendo DS Lite," in Japan in March for 16,800 yen ($145), compared with the current model’s retail price of 15,000 yen ($129).
