NHL 2K10 misses the hat trick
According to the NHL 2K10 Wii description on Amazon: Enjoy online voice chat capabilities via WiiSpeak and precise one-to-one control with WiiMotion Plus Two peripherals at once?? I think the Balance Board could be a fun thing to slap under your feet during a hockey match, too. Oh well .. no hat trick! HA! I kill me. Anyway, has anyone played NHL 2K10 yet? [photo found here]
Pokémon Ramblings No.1Could Cubone really be a Baby Kangaskhan?
I was playing Pokémon recently killing the time between classes on Fire Red. During a break I was reading through all the Pokédex entries I had until I came to Cubone. The pokedex for Cubone in Fire Red reads as follows. It wears the skull of its dead mother on its head. When it becomes lonesome, it is said to cry loudly. I always thought it was weird that Cubone wears the skull of its dead moth...
New Game Get apparently still thinks Wii Fit is it
Wii Fit is it .. plus! Otherwise we’re staring at a list of fairly uninspired games with one exception being A Witch’s Tale. Meanwhile, some awesome rock going on with Queens of the Stone Age on Guitar Hero 5 and The Raconteurs and Electric Six on Rock Band 2. The original Final Fantasy for NES is out this week, so that’s pretty cool, too. Anything you want to pick up this week?

Meanwhile, at the desk of Mario…
When I first showed up on the Infendo scene, I intended on doing a weekly web comic for the site. However, after trying the first one, I decided it was too much work. Since the original has been sitting on my computer for a while now, I figure I’d let you fine people chew on it. Enjoy.
Having failed the first time, Red Steel 2 developers promise “real life” sword fighting this time
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=208tAjPOXlI[/youtube] Put that in your Wii Motion Plus pipe and smoke it! We’ll see if they’re telling the truth with the planned release of Red Steel 2 in early 2010.
Fatal Frame Translation progressing Nicely
Since Nintendo acquired the rights to Fatal Frame, I have always been optimistic of a new release in the horror franchise. Especially since the Wii controls would work very well with taking pictures of the ghosts. Yet when Nintendo announced that they had no intention of bringing the game over to the west I was crushed. That was until I learned about a fan translation team translating the game! As...
Update 4.2 is bricking Wiis, Watch out!!
As many of you probably already know the latest update for the Wii was a full on attack to remove homebrew from the system. What the update did was install a whole bunch of new IOS (they’re like operating systems inside one big operating system) and update the boot sector of the Wii by flashing the systems nand. Which is dangerous since it can cause a brick if it isn’t done right. Nint...
