Majesco has announced its Q4 and fiscal 2007 results, showing holiday sales of $11.9 million and losses down slightly to $1.5 million led, as usual, by its Cooking Mama franchise, and has further detailed plans for its new internal casual game effort, Majesco Studios.
In the fourth quarter, Majesco sales reached $11.9 million, compared to $21.5 million the year prior, when it had first launched both Jaws Unleashed and the first release of Cooking Mama. 79 percent of these sales came from handheld releases, 72 percent on the DS alone, and 21 percent from consoles, eight percent on the Wii. Losses for the quarter were $1.5 million, down slightly from $1.9 million the year prior.
Cooking Mama: Cookstar is a charming passion project from a dev team that clearly cares about the franchise.
Last week, a new Cooking Mama game was released for Nintendo Switch. The only problem is that it got un-released shortly afterwards.
Yeah some big name in the homebrew scene looked at it and it was having high resource usage and some network traffic indicating it most likely does have a miner in it.
As sh***y as that is, I also find that amazing.
"so guys, we're gonna port Cooking Mama to the Switch, but at the same time, we're gonna build in a crypto miner for 'reasons'.
Some dude in the back" uh, what?"
" your services are no longer required. you're excused "
I saw something about that and assumed it was an April Fool's joke, but... no.
From what I've read we don't yet have absolute proof this is what's happened, but the accusations are there and we're yet to see what the investigation will bring up. What a weird world we live in if it turns out to be true.
"There's a new Cooking Mama game coming and as well as a vegetarian mode, it's also bringing with it... blockchain technology?
We've tried to break down what that actually means and whether it's just meaningless jargon"
good for majesco.. keep the games coming on the wii
and not creating another one?
majesco makes some good games but then makes some stupid mistakes...work on ur all ready established studios not new ones.
