Playstation 3 Stepping Up to Wii U with Family Friendly Line Up
When you think of the PS3, what comes to mind? I would guess that your answer would be titles such as God of War or Uncharted, basically mature themed games that include violence. However, most of Sony’s newest titles will not be launching until 2013. So how do they plan on competing against the Wii U launch? Sony has decided that the best method to compete against the Wii U this holiday ...
Bravery Default: Flying Fairy Collector’s Pack Announced
Whenever I see a new installment in the Final Fantasy Universe, the hair on the back of my neck stands up. I am a huge RPG/JRPG fan, but over the years I have become very picky when choosing an RPG to play. I always choose the Final Fantasy games because they never let me down. I guess my age has caused me to become a bit picky when it comes to new games. Maybe I have matured (yeah right), or m...
Whats Next for Nintendo ?
The Nintendo Wii was a huge surprise hit, catapulting the company back into the console game but many are questioning what exactly is next for Nintendo, with console and game sales stagnating. Recent sales for all consoles and game titles have slipped across the board nearly 25% from 2011 levels but the Nintendo Wii and DS have been particularly hard hit, without a substantial refresh in recent ye...
Nintendo Spotting: Mario, Kirby, and Pikachu chalk art
While attending class at DePaul University, Infendo reader Anthony Colon spotted some Nintendo-related chalk art at a nearby street. Anthony stated this in an email accompanying the above photo: “It was definitely a nice reminder of my childhood.” Couldn’t agree anymore, Anthony. Plus, chalk art (especially in college towns) is always a welcome sight.
Would You Buy a Transparent 3DS XL?
In a recent interview with Iwata, in which described some of the internal changes for the 3DS XL, the following images were shown. Now, these were probably just tech demos to show the internals, and nothing more. However, I kind of like the raw look of the device. If available, would you buy the transparent 3DS XL?
Rumor: Nintendo seeking to reacquire Rare from Microsoft
Remember when Rare Ltd. was bought by Microsoft back in 2002? Yeah, as a youngster, it hurt me to see franchises like Perfect Dark, Killer Instinct, Conker, and Banjo-Kazooie now belong to the hands of Microsoft instead of Nintendo. It was like saying goodbye to an old friend…an old friend that took quite a long time to put out material for one’s console. In hindsight, it was probably...
Nintendo Not Concerned With Being First to Market With Next Gen Console
Satoru Iwata has stated that Being first to the market with the Wii U is not that important. Sure the advantage of launching before the other two players does put them ahead of the game, but what is more important is price. “One of the reasons we believe this is the time for Nintendo to launch the Wii U is it’s going to be important for the world.” Said Iwata.

Gamer Dies While Playing Diablo III
OK, I know that this post is not specific to Nintendo. However, I can remember my friends and I having weekend video game marathons almost every weekend when we were younger. The typical weekend would start with a visit to P.J.’s video (Out of Business) on Friday evening after school. We would browse the Nintendo games, choose two or three and then head to the grocery store for Dr. pepper...
New Super Mario Bros. 2 Gameplay From Japan
As I mentioned in a previous podcast, I was a little worried that the New Super Mario Bros. 2 would focus too much on the coin collection, and not enough on the actual game play or storyline. I think that I might have judged the game too soon. Japan has released two commercials that show a bit more of the game play, including a Giant Boo, a possible Koopalings chase, giant rocks falling under wat...
