Nintendo President Satoru Iwata speaks during a press conference in Tokyo, Japan, Friday, Oct. 30, 2009. Nintendo said its first-half fiscal profit plunged and forecast annual earnings would fall for the first time in six years. The well-known maker of Super Mario and Pokemon games has suffered as sales of its Wii set-top console have fallen. Iwata said the company's profits were also hurt by the stronger yen, and that a partial recovery was possible during the holiday season as higher demand spurred by the Wii price reduction kicks in.
