What Nintendo franchise needs an upgrade?
Who doesn’t love the weekend? When mine comes around I usually like to pull out one of my classic gaming consoles and give them a whirl, much like Blake has been doing lately. This weekend during one such play session I popped in a game, closed the game-flap on my NES, and thought to myself, “Wow! Why hasn’t this game been released again!?” What was that game you ask? StarT...
Don’t listen to this week’s Infendo Radio. You’ll hate it.
I’m serious. Stay away, especially if you hate change and are madly in love with 3DS. Yup, this one sorta turned into Doom and Gloom part 2. Will Nintendo’s next console be the last of its kind, 3DS indifference, bathroom gaming, Wii component cables, and listener calls all discussed. I’m warning you, this is gonna hurt.

Ubisoft CEO on Project Café: “it’s a fantastic platform”
Ubisoft and Nintendo have had a smashing relationship this console generation, as evidenced by the seven launch titles Ubisoft had ready for Wii. Ubisoft has made the most of this relationship and has, as of this writing, 14 million sellers on Wii. It isn’t a stretch to assume that Ubisoft will continue to support Nintendo platforms in the future, and leave it to CEO and founder Yves Guillem...
Chrono Trigger. Virtual Console. Monday. YES!
Monday, May 16th, a big wish comes true for many game fans: Chrono Trigger, the original time-bending, actions-have-consequences, multiple-endings, medieval, futuristic, Tolkienesque, steampunk, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink Super Nintendo RPG classic arrives on Wii via the Virtual Console service. Eight bucks for one of the best games ever created. Not a bad deal. Click here for more informatio...
With motion now standard and when equally priced, Xbox 360 more popular than Wii
The Wii has seen quite the drop in demand recently. After dominating the competition for the first four years of its life, the game-changing console has been relegated to second place in America for the last 12 months (give or take a month or two) behind Xbox 360. In other words, when equally priced at $199, Americans slightly favor Xbox 360, at least at this point in the Wii’s lifecycle. On...
NPDs are in….DS tops 3DS for April
Before I go further, let me just say that Nintendo and the 3DS are both going to be just fine. Ok, now that we have that out of the way, hi folks. I hope everyone is ready to talk sales numbers and such. If you’re not, stop right now and instead listen to Infendo Radio. For the rest of you, I’ll see you after the break.
eShop Launches June 6th
Nintendo has announced that the next big, much-anticipated 3DS system update will become available the evening of June 6th in North America (June 7th in Japan). They have confirmed that the update will include the eShop and web browser. I’m sure many 3DS owners are hoping that the eShop’s launch will include a free download of Excitebike 3D and Flipnote Studio. Hooray, 3DS takes a step...
In case you missed it, Super Mario Land 2 stands the test of time
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhB8XG9_5Rc[/youtube] A lot of “classic” games haven’t aged well. Sure, some have nostalgia, but they also rely on outdated gameplay. Super Mario Land 2 isn’t one of the games. On the contrary, it’s downright delightful, on par with what you would expect from a high-profile console version of Mario. And since it was produced by ...
Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D dated
Capcom has let us in on when we can expect our first taste of Resident Evil on the 3DS. On June 28 Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D will hit store shelves everywhere. The only question I have is whether anyone will be willing to shell out $40+ for what were essentially mini games in Resident Evil 4 and 5. Extra corny teaser trailer with a side of cheese is included after the break.
Bootleggers are getting good: Fake DS Lite looks crazy legit
With exception to a few cosmetic blemishes, the thing looks almost as flawless as it plays. Certainly more convincing than the PolyStation.
