Wii U Voice Chat: Great Feature, Bad Set Up
All of us are anxious to find out more about the Wii U online gaming community. Some feel that Nintendo’s lack of information points to a less than stellar experience, others feel that Nintendo won’t let us down. Regardless, we all have to wait and see. A small clue to the online gaming experience comes in the form of voice chat. The Wii U will allow players to speak with one anothe...
Mario Sighting in Melbourne
Mario doesn’t talk much, but when he does, it is instantly recognizable, at least for some. Unfortunately, when you are the voice of Mario, your face (and real voice) is not as well known to the World. While waiting to board a flight in Melbourne, Charles Martinet was one of many evacuated from the airport when a mysterious package was found. The suspect package was nothing more than a fal...
Nintendo lists Pikmin 3 for March 2013 release
It has been mentioned before on Infendo Radio about the possibility of Pikmin 3 missing the Wii U’s launch date. During a recent edition of Iwata Asks interview, the company confirmed that Pikmin 3 is listed for release during March 2013, which fits in line with the Wii U “launch window.” Again, the news isn’t all surprising, considering Nintendo may want to spread out more...
New Animal Crossing 3D Trailer And A Must Have Wii U Pro Controller
When Animal crossing was first announced, I didn’t give it much credit. In fact, it appeared to be just an child’s version of an MMORPG. Since I am not a fan of MMORPGs, I barely looked at it twice. What I didn’t know, is that it is actually a pretty fun game with plenty to do and see. The only reason I did finally check it out, is that I have daughters. Although the puppy do...
Nintendo, we have a problem
In two days we will be exactly a month away from the launch of the Wii U in North America, but aside from Nintendo (and maybe including them) nobody knows how the online will work on the console. This is a problem. How is it that in 2012, a video game company who competes (whether they admit they are in a competition or not) with Microsoft and Sony can launch a brand new console without giving any...
IGN Reports a Triple-A Square Enix Port Coming to Wii U
IGN has reported that the studio that is porting Mass Effect 3 to the Wii U, will also be porting a “Triple-A” Square Enix title to the Wii U. Although there is no official word on the title, I am hoping for either a Final Fantasy X HD, Final Fantasy 7 remake (just wishful thinking there, i would put money on this NOT happening), Kingdom Hearts 1.5, or maybe TWEWY, or TWEWY 2. Watch t...

Diablo Junior for Game Boy Color
Diablo 3 has created quite a splash since it has been released. Many fans were anxious to get their claws on the game, while just as many were disappointed with all of the glitches that accompanied it. Even with all of the hype over the game, did you know that there was a Game Boy color version in the works? Titled, Diablo Junior, it was expected to follow the Pokemon method and release multiple...
Weekly Wrap Up
This weeks seems to have been a slow news week, so, I thought I would bundle a few items together, and gather some thoughts from the readers. First off, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Wii U Edition, has introduced us to some new character costumes. Players will now be able to wear the threads of Toad, Peach, Shiek, and Captain Falcon. I think, after seeing the pictures, that Toad will be my choice! Ne...
Sony Sues Over Kevin Butler Appearance In Wii Commercial
Kevin Butler has become a rather popular spokes person for PlayStation products. In their commercials, he portrays a rather likeable executive that is not afraid to speak his mind. It seems that Sony likes him so much, that they do not want anyone else to use the actor. However, Kevin Butler is not a real person. In fact, the man behind the character is actor Jerry Lambert. You might be wonderi...
