Nintendo Rights A Wrong
On the most recent Infendo Podcast, we told the listeners about a guy that purchased a defective Wii U, transferred his Wii Data over, then returned the unit to a retail store. Unfortunately, he did not contact Nintendo to complete a warranty exchange. Since he did not follow the correct procedures he lost all of his downloads. Luckily, Nintendo was nice enough to credit him for some of his pur...
Would you buy this version of Portal on DS?
Some homebrewers are just amazing. Take for example what modder Smealum has done on the DS. While his work is still in the early stages (he has been working on his project for six months), what he has done on the aging hardware is pretty amazing. Obviously he won’t be able to monetize his project without the permission of Valve, but the company has a history of allowing fan projects such as ...
Reader Submission: Rare Nintendo Promo Videos From The 90’s
As many of you are aware, I am not only a retro gamer, but a bit retro myself. I have been gaming since the early 80’s with my Atari 2600, and just progressed from there. Maybe I am more gamer hispter than retro? Anyway, when one of our readers, JJ Hendricks, submitted some retro promo videos to [email protected], I could not help but to share. The Nintendo World Championship 1990 is proba...
Infendo Radio: The official Nintendo podcast of Voltron
If Nintendo were a robot, I would like to think that Miyamoto would be Commander Keith and Iwata would be Lance. Sure, Iwata makes all the decisions these days, but Miyamoto, much like Keith, spends much of his time pondering his decisions and thinking up new strategies. Yeah…Nintentron…. Anyways, another week, another great episode of Infendo Radio! This week we discuss the other cons...
What are your most wanted games of 2013?
It seems like we say this every year, but 2013 has the potential to be one of the best gaming years in quite a long time. We here at Infendo pride ourselves in not only providing you with the best Nintendo information money can buy (wait, I’m supposed to get paid!?), but we also dabble occasionally in the non-Nintendo realm of gaming. This is one of those times. Here are the games that I am ...

Well, according to a recent post on a Spanish forum, an anonymous developer from the Rayman Legends team was not pleased with Ubisoft’s decision to delay the Wii U version and decreed his ...
Pokemon Generation VI Wishlist
Pokemon was a big part of my childhood. I grow nostalgic as I look back on fond memories of getting Pokemon: Blue Version for Christmas, watching the anime in the mornings before school, and scouring booster packs for the elusive Charizard card. Suffice it to say that I’m really, really, excited for Generation VI, the new set of Pokemon games due to be released on the 3DS later this year. This is ...
Disappointing Wii U Launch?
Activision Blizzard chief executive Bobby Kotick is not very happy with the Wii U Launch. His reasoning? He is concerned over the install base and the challenges of the environment. “We were somewhat disappointed with the launch of the Wii U, and I think it’s a challenging environment this year. And one of the things we are concerned about is what the installed base of hardware will be like for ...
Rayman Legends Is No Longer A Wii U Exclusive
We’ve received some bad news and even worse news to report: Rayman Legends will no longer be a Wii U exclusive, and the game has been delayed until September 2013. This comes a day after Famitsu had originally reported that another Wii U exclusive, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge, would be released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. IGN was the first to report on this news when they spok...
Japan Receives Wii Street U
Today, Japanese users can download the Wii Street U app for their Wii U. If/when this app is released in the US, or other regions, will you use it?
What games bring you the most nostalgia?
Every year around Christmas time, I boot up one of my many consoles capable of playing Ocarina of Time and give the game whirl. It has been a tradition ever since the games release in 1998. For me, there is nothing more satisfying that curling up with a blanket and walking into Zora’s Domain….especially after Ganondorf freezes over the land of the Zora’s. For me, there are so many game...
Download Sales Increase as Physical Sales Drop
I feel that we are entering a sad era in the life of video games. Although Iwata stated that we are not yet ready for cloud based gaming, sales figures are showing that we might be heading towards the demise of physical copies of our favorite games. The latest NPD figures (2012 sales in the US) show us that downloads have become more convenient and popular that buying a physical copy of the game....
