Majority of readers own more than one console, but not majority of gamers
After nearly 1000 votes, 59 percent of Infendo readers say they own more than one current generation console, which include Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3. Given that the majority of Infendo readers are gaming enthusiasts, that’s less than one might expect. It’s also soft proof that the majority of gamers only own a single console, because let’s face it: video games can be expensive, bot...
New Game Get is overwhelmed by Pokemons
An interesting release this week is Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon, but reviews haven’t been all that awesome. Meanwhile, more Pokemons. Oh, there’s an awesome Castlevania game for Virtual Console, too.
Layton Movie could be heading Over Seas
It seems that Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva could be heading over seas sometime in the future. This all comes with speculation due to the recent Professor Layton web page on Encore Films. The website contains information about the film and the game series, as well as information about the movie being shown in Japanese theaters with Chinese and English Subtitles. While there is no confirm...

Competitors Have Always Copied Nintendo
All this talk about the PlayStation Move is really starting to annoy me. Yes, the controller looks like the WiiMote, but lets stop kidding outselves into thinking that this is the first time that the game industry has moved forward on the shoulders of the existing ideas. Nintendo has been the innovator since they entered the market, and we have them to thank for everything from the D-Pad to the Th...
Infendo PAX East meetup?
I know a few of you have mentioned that you’ll be in Boston for Penny Arcade’s PAX East, but is anyone interested in meeting up? I’m thinking about putting together a pre-PAX get-together on Thursday the 25th. Anyone in town early?
Nintendo “embarrassed” by Wii copycats
Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but Nintendo president Reggie Fils-Aime said he wouldn’t dare rip off the competition like Sony and Microsoft are doing with Wii. “I think we would have been embarrassed to do what our competitors are currently doing,” he told Kotaku, when asked what his company’s next console might include. “So, all I can tell you is t...
Infendo Radio 178 is on the MOVE! (Get it?)

Me too – let’s listen together: Radio Feed iTunes Feed MP3 Be part of the show! Email u...

Since you asked, Flight Control is my favorite DSi game right now
Dear Infendo, If you have an iPhone or are holding out for an iPad, buy this game for $1. If not (like me), buy this game for Nintendo DSi for $5 via download. It comes with new landing spots and two-player mode (but no leaderboards like the AppStore version). Whatever the version, you’re in good hands, and should easily be able to beat my current high of 58 landings. Love, The Boss Hog
Wii still “smarter” than PlayStation Move?
On a Wired post criticizing the initial round of PlayStation Move games, commenter memebag pointed out a distinct difference between Move and Wii, which seemingly plays into the latter’s favor. “Instead of a camera on the TV looking for lights on the remotes, each Wiimote has a camera that looks for the light bar on the TV,” he explains. “It’s a smarter solution, sinc...
