IGN Wii posted an article with a collection of rumors surfacing on the Internet. Apparently one rumor is based on a mystery source stating that IBM is working on reducing the size of the Wii’s Broadway CPU for use in a “future Nintendo handheld– presumably one that plays Gamecube disks.” Shortly thereafter, the rumor was removed from the article. The idea of a Gamecube hand...

Flickr: This picture is hilarious. Notice how much light the DS emits. And the sun glasses are a nice touch to the shot. Reminds me of that old ad with a dude sitting in front of a sound system getting blown away by the implied music.

How do you stay on top of your video game news addiction? What are some of your favorite sites? Let you voice be heard on our new poll, and in the case of site aggregators (i.e. Digg, Google News, Topix, etc) just put other, though they probably should’ve been options since that’s Infendo’s primary choice of fresh content. What other gaming sites do you visit? Joystiq Kotaku 4cr ...

Next-Gen has compiled a list of the 50 top-selling portable games, and the winner isn’t Mario. From the article: “Even Mario’s success pales in comparison to Pokemon ”“ combined the franchise is precariously close to ten million units sold, equaling well over $300 million in revenue ”“and that’s just on Game Boy Advance. They are very well made games full of charm and inter...

I’ve played a game featuring Jumpman — I mean Mario — every year since 1986. Whether it was the classic Original (not the dual Duck Hunt/Super Mario Bros., the single game one), Dr. Mario, or seeing him bash Captain Falcon in Super Smash Bros. Melee, I’ve really never not liked Mario — or his quieter, high jumping brother Luigi for that matter. It’s pretty amazi...

re: Controller patent lawsuit against Nintendo and Microsoft Dear Anascape and Mr. Armstrong, Please stop trying to ruin our fun. We all realize that this current generation of gaming consoles represents a large sum of money, but the Jerry Springer era of kneejerk lawsuits and frivilous litigation is so over (that was an overly dramatic “so” meant to demean you). Please cease and desis...

Very misleading. I can’t invite you to the Leipzig conference anymore so that I can push out eggs, Yoshi-style, that contain shiny brand new Wii consoles. But what I can do is produce the translated Wii event press invitation that IGN got for being a big and powerful corporate web site: 8/23/06 Games Convention / Messe Leipzig 10:15, Nintendo Booth, Hall 5, F01 Be there when a new chapter is...

According to Lamatel, the Latin American distributor for Nintendo, the Wii will be released in Brazil the first week of December at a price of about $650 ($1,500 Reais). Zelda: Twilight Princess was confirmed as the only launch title. But don’t expected translated manuals and technical support, meus amigos. Any Brazilian readers out there with some thoughts? Will you be buying the first week...

Well, this is news to me. Anyone have some Nintendo manufactured playing cards? And is the company still making Hanafuda cards?

Remember that big grain of salt I took over the weekend? I’m taking another one. A bigger one. Think Sony’s ego. Why? Because there’s some significant news regarding a BETA TESTER and his experiences in the first area of Twilight Princess floating around today. The description he provides deals mainly with how Link trains for the outside world and gains the skills needed to fight...

Since there really isn’t any ammo out there for people to attack the DS based on its software, it seems to me they’ve taken up attacking the hardware. No, not the specs or processing power — the actual casing that contains one of the best portable packages ever conceived. In this latest case there aren’t any cracked hinges or dead pixels to be found, but there is a large re...
