What were your favorite Wiiware oddballs?

Do you have a gut-feeling Wiiware’s run its course? Nintendo’s admitted the service didn’t soar as planned and they hope to correct their mistakes with the 3DS eshop. I wouldn’t write the channel off yet; I’m sure good product will arrive for download between now and Project Café, but lately the Virtual Console has re-taken the spotlight with the long-awaited port of...

You won’t believe how Infendo Radio ends this week

Derek and Blake spill the beans on what they’re playing these days, discuss the best genres ever, talk Pikmin 3, Nintendo 64 hate mail, and Nintendo conspiracy theories, overturn tables, and cut the show short.

What eShop titles do you want most?

June has a lot of things going for it. e3 starts next month, 3DS gets it’s first “must have” title, and the eShop finally launches for Nintendo’s newest handheld. Not to bad! I always love revising old classics so the most exciting feature for the eShop, to me, is the virtual console support. As such, I would like to ask you, Infendo, what classic games are you hoping to ...

Tell Infendo about your StreetPass experience

I think we can all agree that StreetPass is one of the most alluring features of the Nintendo 3DS. Unfortunately for me, I live in a small town with a population of about 2,000, and it’s an hour to the closest Wal-mart, and five to the closest mall. My count of StreetPass encounters to date comes to a total of…zero. But I am glad to hear that many of our readers have been more fortunat...

I see a bright future for 3DS

I’ve enjoyed the recent discussions of 3DS here, pros and cons…even the criticisms from people who haven’t purchased it or even played the dang thing to any real extent yet. There are a few key points I’d like to make here about Nintendo’s new little wonderbox. Just let me take a second to brush some recently-thrown rotten tomatoes off its poor little shell…ther...

The glass is half full: What did 3DS get right?

A vocal number of readers have been down on us lately for collectively criticizing Nintendo’s recent behavior. Fear not, sensitive ones. This post is for you. With all the talk of 3DS and its lack of games being pricey, what exactly did the 3DS get right, in your opinion? What do you most like about the system? In what ways does the handheld influence video games for the better (if at al...

Infendo community….help!

In three weeks time, the world will know exactly (well maybe not EXACTLY) what Nintendo has in store for us for the next couple of years. By this time a month from now Project Café will be unveiled at e3, Nintendo will show the world exactly why the 3DS is a must have system, and in a first for me, I will be at the conference to share everything Nintendo with you dear readers. It has been 3 month...

3DS terms of service are downright offensive

Nintendo + Best Buy = 3DS download service

Next time you walk into your local Best Buy make sure you bring your 3DS with you. Nintendo has just announced a partnership with Best Buy in which the retailer will provide access to “exclusive offers as well as additional entertainment content such as gaming extras and movie trailers.” The part about gaming extras has got me listening. Could the service perhaps bring additional wo...

Name that company

Hey! A little game to start off our Tuesday. What fun! Here it goes. It’s pretty simple: Guess the mystery company using the clues provided. Blame the customers for lower than expected sales. Fledgling handheld. Rumored $400 next-gen console. Ignore the competition, label it insignificant or kiddie or even dangerous to the industry. Use weird doublespeak and borderline lies in your press rel...
