How the heck do you pronounce Ocarina?
We’re all excited to play Zelda: Ocarina of Time in 3D this summer, but depending on which dictionary you ask, it can be pronounced a couple of different ways. We want to know: {democracy:141} If these aren’t how you pronounce it, tell us what you say in comments. Then tune in to the next Infendo Radio to hear Blake and Derek address this heated debate!

Rumor alert: Wii price drop incoming
Wii sales have seen better days. At this time last year, North American Wii sales were second only to Nintendo’s own handheld the DS. Currently,Wii sales have dropped slightly and it seems Nintendo has taken notice. According to trusted sources over at Engadget, the little white box is about to get a $50 price drop starting May 15th. If true, the price drop may help to put Wii consoles into...
“Miit” My Family
I finally did it! I finished making Mii versions of all my family members! This family photo includes me, my parents, my four sisters, my four brothers, my sister-in-law, and my niece (that’s a total of thirteen, count ’em!). Don’t see the resemblance? I wanted to give everyone a unique appearance based on their individual differences. Anyone else been busy turning family, friend...

PlayStation CEO trolls for headlines by calling 3DS “babysitting tool”, probably needs his diaper changed
What do you do in the dog-eat-dog business world when the competition has left your mangled corpse in the dust in terms of sales figures? Inform the press that your rivals are a bunch of poopoo buttfaces , clap the dirt off your hands and pat yourself on the back for a job well done, of course. Total self-delusion is doing wonders for Charlie Sheen — when your career takes a huge nosedive, j...
Meet an Infendo blogger: Eugene
(As requested by a few readers in the comments, here is a short Infendo style bio of myself) After being exposed to an NES console at a very early age, I just had to have a ‘Nintendo’ for myself. My experiences with that little grey and black console with the likes of Super Mario Bros. 3, Bionic Commando, and Star Tropics are some of my favorite childhood memories. Having been a kid an...
Nintendo the agile developer of fun
Reports Wired Magazine: While other companies often start by creating massive design documents that detail minute aspects of a videogame’s characters and levels, Nintendo produces rapid prototypes. The company creates, tweaks and refines a gameplay mechanic until it is fun and appealing, often spending many months in these very early phases. “We prototype intensely in the beginning, until we...
Oh look’another “video games can save the world” story
Courtesy of NPR. In other words, video games are still insecure about who there really are. Like movies and music, they’re just entertaining diversions. Nothing more, nothing less. Get over yourself already, sheesh.
At Least One DS Game is Enhanced by the 3DS’s Circle Pad
The 3DS’s circle pad actually works as an input for regular DS games. I’ve found that it’s bothersome to use it for games like Pokemon HeartGold, but it improves the control in Mario Kart DS. The circle pad is easily on my list of the top three best features of the Nintendo 3DS. Has anyone else discovered a DS game that plays better thanks to the circle pad?
Some more QR code fun
I do love creatin’ Miis. A reader asked how to get the Mii Beatles shown in a recent post, so I’ve gathered the fab four along with some cartoon sleuths, my favorite President, a boy wizard and a few surprise guests to mingle with Derek, David, Eugene and your own Mii! And, yes, I know Daphne’s not very accurate, but dang, that’s a difficult one to Mii-ize!
A Friend Indeed: My Nintendo Power Collage
Mushroom Kingdom birthday cakes, NES beds, master sword quilts…Nintendo fans tend to celebrate their passion in crazy, time-intensive ways. Thanks to my friend Lindsay, I own my own little unique Nintendo creation. These three collages were made from Nintendo Power clippings, and they decorate the binder I use for pretty much everything (L-R Back, Spine, Front).
