Majesco isdoing it wrongand the NASDAQ Stock Exchange knows all about it. TheCooking Mamapublisher was today served an official warning for trading shares under $1.00. As per the rules, a company’s shares can only be traded for under $1.00 for thirty days. Majesco’s thirty days are done, and if it doesn’t get its prices up by February 2009, the company could get itself delisted from the stock market. If that occurs, Majesco will find trading shares a far more difficult process, and if it’s in this deep, one would assume that extra difficulty is not welcome....

Gearing up for the game’s debuton XBLA this week, Capcom has just released some new screens and video fromMarvel Vs Capcom 2. We’ve already seenWolvie and Ryugoing at it, followed byStorm Vs Jill, and now it’s time for my favorite superhero, Spider-Man, to take on Strider. This has always been one of my favorite portrayals of Spidey, because no matter what he’s doing on screen, he always manages to look like a total badass, especially with the web action....

Microsoft must be quite pleased with their first three months ending March 31. Sales are up 60 percent, with revenue reaching $1.94 billion for their games division. The company? Try $16.43 billion. The company shipped 2.4 million Kinect units during this quarter, which means arms were flailing around the world. A lot of you Are The Controller, it seems. Their earnings results release says that the Kinect is the fast-selling consumer electronics device in history....

Capcom just sent us word that the PSP may get at least one more game that won’t make it completely useless in North America:Monster Hunter Freedom 2. So what’s so special about this one? Have a look: Capcom’s previously released Monster Hunter Portable was a runaway hit, becoming Japan’s top selling title for the PSP system, with an attach rate of about one game sold for every five systems in the country....

Hey, you know that $70GoldenEyeWii controllerthat GameStop listed (and then pulled) awhile back? What a stupid idea! What fool would pay $70 for a controller? When I asked you folks, it turned out not many (if any) of you would. Now, aToys”R”Uslisting makes things a little be more clear, and confirms what I had originally thought — we’re talking $70 for the controllerandthe upcoming Wii game,GoldenEye. The retailer is currently listing the bundle — “GoldenEye 007 with Classic Controller Pro for Nintendo Wii....

I won’t believe it until I play it myself, but we apparently have reason to believe that some insaneFour Swords-style action will be coming toOcarinain the near future....

PoorDarksiders: Wrath of Warjust can’t catch a break — the game’s no where near being released (it’s slated for August 25), and the general around the internet seems to be that it’s just too generic to stand out. After all it’s going to have some steep competition from other action titles likeGod of War 3,Bayonetta(my personal favorite), andDante’s Inferno(a thorn in my side). To make matters worse, Vigil Games’ general manager David Adamshas been bandying around the factthat it freely takes “elements from other games we love,” and art director Han Randhawahas saidthat “War [the game’s protagonist] is just a classic character – the embodiment of pretty much every other character out there....

Sorry kids, but we won’t be recording this week. Dyson is out of town visiting his little sister, who’s just graduated from college, (congratulations to the young Ms. Grigsby!) and the rest of us are taking the day off to hug our moms and bake cookies for orphans. Oh, except Anthony. He’s taking the day off to bake cookies for himself and then eat them in front of orphans while they watch, doe-eyed and wrought with hunger....

When prompted to respond to thesentiment of disappointmentfrom gamers, Iwata explained that the reason Nintendo was not able to cater to the hardcore crowd was because of release schedules.

If there’s any fanboy war as vicious as the one that rages between Sony and Microsoft, it’s the one that boils within the PC camp over graphics card manufacturers Nvidia and ATi. Nvidia unleashed another salvo withthe latest blast of detailson their upcoming GF100 graphics processor. Based on the new “Fermi” architecture, the GF100 arranges 512 CUDA (compute unified device architecture) cores into four GPCs (Graphics Processing Clusters), each of which comes with four SMs (Streaming Multiprocessors), all packing the power of Nvidia’s PolyMorph Engine....

The regular anime convention may not have much of interest to you, Destructoid reader. Aside from the rare scantily clad cosplayer (more on that later), I’d guess that many of you would rather be at home gaming than plowing through the geeky masses at these events. Baltimore’s long running Otakon is a bit different. They call themselves the “convention of the otaku generation,” and put focus on more than just anime and manga....

Sony has plans to take their PlayStation Move technology and stick it on your PC. I’ll tell you right know that I’d use it for surfing on a home theater PC. That would be fantastic. But they want to do more with this motion sensing tech than surf porn sites on a 60″ TV, so they’re showing off their Move Server for PC at GDC next month. Sony’s GDC panel, Update on PlayStation Move development, is where you’ll want to be to see what this Move Server for PC is all about....
