One of the biggest news to come out of today’s Nintendo Direct is the existence of a new controller design for Wii U. Not only will Wii U be compatible with all existing Wii peripherals (Wii Remote, Nunchuck, Classic Controller, and Balance Board), Nintendo today pulled the curtain on a more traditional style controller for the console. The Wii U Pro Controller looks an awful lot like an Xbo...

Global President Satoru Iwata will be hosting Nintendo Direct today at 3 PM PDT today and will be revealing new information on the Wii U! Let’s see what they have in store for us later this afternoon!
Today started off great. I woke up, had myself a little run, then booted up my laptop only to discover boom, no Internet. That wouldn’t have been a problem if I wasn’t meeting with a couple of great looking gentleman over Skype to bring you today’s Infendo Radio! But I digress. We have a packed show for you this week, and a few new hosts to boot! Join Essel, Michael, Thomas, and ...
Just a few short days now. E3 officially starts next week, and I’ve got my bags packed and am ready to head to Los Angeles. Although E3 isn’t all fun and games (I have tons of fantastic meetings set up to check out the best Nintendo games at the show), I want to extend an invitation to all the Infendo readers who may be in the downtown LA area next week for an official Infendo get toge...
It looks like the gears are moving in the minds of the Nintendo developers. A new patent was recently filed to create a new input method on the 3DS. What is so special about a new input method, you ask? It does not require any sort of physical contact with the 3DS at all! The input method will allow the player to manipulate the top screen, yes the top screen, with a stylus. The stylus will spo...
Two weeks ago one megaton a rumor started swirling around the Internet in the form of a Star Fox, Metroid, crossover. Well more info on that game has surfaced today. Does that mean we can expect to see Star Fox X Metroid at E3 next week?
To help take your mind off of some of the many rumors spreading as we lead up to E3, I decided to dig up a few classic videos to share. Enjoy!
To most, it would seem like the Wii would be pretty much done and ready to give up it’s mantle to the Wii U. But according to an email from Nintendo, the little white box still has some life to it.
Zelda informer posted a video that they claim was leaked during a private meeting showing a trailer of Final Fantasy XV that was shown to a lucky few. The video shows that Final Fantasy XV will be available on the Wii U and PS3, and is expected to be officially announced during E3. Now some would say that this is Final Fantasy Versus, and it does look like the trailers I have seen for Versus, b...
With less than a week until Nintendo’s E3 2012 press conference, the company has decided to tease us a bit with a planned unveil of new games through the Wii U Facebook page. As the above screen grab shows, Nintendo will reveal an initial Wii U launch title as E3 2012 nears. There is currently no set date as to when the names will be “scratched off,” but all signs point to maybe ...
Yesterday’s long-awaited, story-extending DLC for Batman Arkham City, which came with a $10 price tag, reminded me of a similar game-extending gem that hit Nintendo’s e-Shop last week for WayForward’s excellent platformer, Mighty Switch Force. Five new levels, a new “Retry” button, and an enhanced 3D effect on existing levels were brought to the table, and you know wh...
