A case for cases – Waterfield Designs and Power A cases for 3DS
Despite being on the market for over a month, we actually get more press releases at Infendo about 3DS cases than we do for new games. Here we present a view of two different cases, one for executives and another for the style conscious.
How does the latest helping of Nintendo sit in your stomach?
Just a couple of weeks now folks. Soon, the world will finally know what Nintendo has locked up in their R&D vaults in Japan. In two short weeks, Nintendo’s game plan for the remainder of 2011 will be revealed. How do you think Nintendo will fair? Nintendo has come under much scrutiny lately by members of the press and fans alike. Personally, I am expecting Nintendo to hit the ball ou...
Look who’s making an unauthorized appearance on iPhone!
There’s an interesting free app available for iPhone called i3D. An experiment in face-tracking via the front camera, it shifts the perspective of several demo objects as if you were looking at three dimensional scenes. It’s interesting and fun, but (and even the app’s creator admits this) it still looks flat. The effect doesn’t come close to the what the 3Ds achieves, but ...

Nintentunes, your one stop shop for your retro music fix!
Today we will take a journey to Nintendo past through the power of music. Most of my memories playing video games don’t involve any graphics or gameplay at all, but instead it’s the music that stays with me. I’m willing to bet the same can be said for many of you gamers as well, so I hope this music retrospective is enjoyable for you. Click on through if things that are awesome...
What were your favorite Wiiware oddballs?
Do you have a gut-feeling Wiiware’s run its course? Nintendo’s admitted the service didn’t soar as planned and they hope to correct their mistakes with the 3DS eshop. I wouldn’t write the channel off yet; I’m sure good product will arrive for download between now and Project Café, but lately the Virtual Console has re-taken the spotlight with the long-awaited port of...

What eShop titles do you want most?
June has a lot of things going for it. e3 starts next month, 3DS gets it’s first “must have” title, and the eShop finally launches for Nintendo’s newest handheld. Not to bad! I always love revising old classics so the most exciting feature for the eShop, to me, is the virtual console support. As such, I would like to ask you, Infendo, what classic games are you hoping to ...
Tell Infendo about your StreetPass experience
I think we can all agree that StreetPass is one of the most alluring features of the Nintendo 3DS. Unfortunately for me, I live in a small town with a population of about 2,000, and it’s an hour to the closest Wal-mart, and five to the closest mall. My count of StreetPass encounters to date comes to a total of…zero. But I am glad to hear that many of our readers have been more fortunat...
I see a bright future for 3DS
I’ve enjoyed the recent discussions of 3DS here, pros and cons…even the criticisms from people who haven’t purchased it or even played the dang thing to any real extent yet. There are a few key points I’d like to make here about Nintendo’s new little wonderbox. Just let me take a second to brush some recently-thrown rotten tomatoes off its poor little shell…ther...
The glass is half full: What did 3DS get right?
A vocal number of readers have been down on us lately for collectively criticizing Nintendo’s recent behavior. Fear not, sensitive ones. This post is for you. With all the talk of 3DS and its lack of games being pricey, what exactly did the 3DS get right, in your opinion? What do you most like about the system? In what ways does the handheld influence video games for the better (if at al...
