Retro-bit Offering Wireless Controllers for Retro Consoles
As a palate cleanser from all of the XBox news yesterday and the seemingly endless debate over which console will win the next generation when two of them still have months left until they hit the market, comes news on the retro gaming front. Retro-bit, a company that produces products for many retired consoles, has announced that they are releasing a new line of wireless controllers for the NE...
Wii U, Xbox One, and PS4
Yesterday’s Xbox one reveal (Click here to see my report on the reveal) was pretty fantastic, compared to the PS4’s lackluster announcement. We were able to see actual game play for Call of Duty Ghosts, quite a few additional features, and an actual console (although it sort of reminds me of an updated CDI in appearance). But how do the three compare to each other from a tech standpo...
So, apparently EA says it is still developing games for the Wii U
After last week’s surprising comments from Electronic Arts spokesperson Jeff Brown about the company not having any titles in development for the Wii U, many current owners of Nintendo’s latest console were none too pleased about their sentiments. Some analysts and critics labeled this as the Wii U’s “Dreamcast” moment, in which it would be the first domino to fall in...
Wii U System Update Version 3.0.1 U
Today, Nintendo will release system update Version 3.0.1 U, which will bring “Further improvements to overall system stability and software compatibility”, according to Nintendo. The update is smaller than last month’s update and should take considerable less time to download and install. The next update is expected to be available this summer. If you do not yet own a Wii U, and woul...
The Gaming World Against The Wii U
It seems that everywhere you turn, there is nothing but negative news surrounding the Wii U. Honestly, other than Infendo.com and a few other Nintendo centric websites, I cannot find anyone that has reported on the good aspects of the console. Instead they tell us about how horrible it is compared to two unreleased consoles (that incidentally we know very little about.). Could this stem from Je...
Infendo Radio: Mother Brain Edition
So as has been the case as of late, Skype has failed us this podcast. That doesn’t mean that there isn’t a podcast for you all this week, but it does mean that the very beginning (about 5 min) of the podcast was lost, as well as a bit in the middle. Sorry folks, we at the Infendo Towers are looking for a solution, and hopefully our next show will go off without a hitch. This week we ta...

Most notably, this includes numerous “Let’s Play” videos that feature lengths of game footage from a variety of Nintendo properties. Nintendo’s approach here is to place ads at the beginning or end of videos that feature Nintendo games, and the resulti...
EA Discontinues Online Pass
Last night, while sitting in a small local bar, sipping on an adult beverage, and watching Michale Graves (formerly of the Misfits) rock out with his band, I felt my iPhone vibrate in my pocket. Upon checking it, I found that there was an email notifying me that EA is discontinuing their Online Pass program effective immediately. Although I cannot say that this is a surprise, it is a bit shockin...
Nintendo Sighting: Adventure Time
In the newest episode of Adventure Time, titled “Shh”, a familiar video game console can be seen. Although the cartridges are not exact, the console, controller, and controller connector are pretty recognizable. So, it seems that other than cockroaches and magic, the NES will also survive the apocalypse. Do you have an interesting Nintendo sighting caught on camera? Feel free to sen...
