GameCube tech demo does things Wii can’t
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZZWPlzN6S4[/youtube] Countless developers have cited the system’s inherent weaknesses, rather than their own effort, as the catalyst for poor Wii graphics. When footage like this comes along, one can’t help but wonder. Mined by the folks at Unseen 64, this tech demo was used in a May 2001 software development kit for the Nintendo GameCube. It ho...

Infendo Radio knocked off the air by blizzards
Sorry to report this, but Infendo Radio won’t be on the air this week. The broadcast center was rocked by dual snow storms over the weekend. Look forward to next week’s show, though, when we cover Punch-Out for the Wii. Plus you’ll have more time to vote in our poll about the DSi. In the meantime, call us at 206-338-BIGN or give us a shout out over on Twitter.
ExciteBots: Trick Racing box art
Here it is. If it continues the simple formula of the original I’ll pick it up, but that turtle bot in the corner is disconcerting, to me, for some reason. Thoughts?

For the love of Lord Stanley, someone stop him
My friend Sidney Crosby Andy Marino is the king of NHL ’09. I watched in disbelief as he went undefeated last weekend against some of the best NHL ’09 players I know. Marino stifled offensive juggernauts and danced through the neutral zone against defensive monsters, putting the puck in their nets with stunning frequency. He talks a lot of trash, too. As much as I hate to do this here,...
