The Pokémon Company tweeted the above message today. The developer will announce more Pokemon-related news on Monday, September 16 at 8am PDT. After the recent onslaught of Pokémon X & Y news, is there anything else to know? So what could it be? I place my bets on more Pokémon X & Y news. Perhaps more Mega Evolutions or new features. After all, the game launches on O...
Nintendo Discontinues Three Original 3DS Models in Japan
Nintendo axed three original 3DS models in Japan. Today we mourn the dearly departed Cosmo Black, Misty Pink and Ice White. It is survived by the remaining original 3DS colors — Gloss Pink, Light Blue and Metallic Red — and a plethora of special edition-themed handhelds available and yet-to-come. I always thought Japan had too many hardware colors/themes anyway. It appears Nintendo fe...

Introducing Rakim Reid
I want to introduce myself to Infendo readers and staff. My name is Rakim Reid and I am a new writer on Infendo. I am happy to have the opportunity to share the latest Nintendo-related news. My first foray into video games was at the tender age of four. I played Super Mario Brothers on my cousin’s Nintendo Entertainment System. That game continues to frame my belief that all great games sha...
Can You Imagine A World Where Kids Don’t Know What Nintendo Is?
That title might seem like a horrible thing to ask a Nintendo fanpage. According to Technology blogger John Gruber, the question might just be valid. He believes that many children would rather grab an iPad than a 3DS (Obviously evident by the sales-sarcasm intended). “A kid asking “What’s a Nintendo?” may sound preposterous to the ears of an adult weaned on Mario and Zelda, but trust me, put an...

Many of Nintendo’s games seem to easily transcend age, games...
