What the hell is up with that Nintendo 3DS price tag?
When I’m wrong, I admit it, and I’m eating crow today after seeing the Japanese launch price for the 3DS. Nearly $300, after conversion from yen to U.S. dollar? Cripes! Now, the West rarely pays a 1:1 equivalent when it comes to how things are first priced in Japan before they come here (same for Europe with VAT, and all that), but still…I’m having trouble seeing how this 3...
Nintendo 3DS coming to U.S. and Yurp in March, price may be an issue
No exact date or price announced, but the Japanese will pay a steep $300 for the Virtual Boy enabled 3DS, $50 more than what the failed PSP launched for in 2005. That change your mind?
Game Boy Virtual Console coming to 3DS when it launches next Feb
Infendo reader WII-LUIGI$ writes: Looks like our dreams for a Virtual Console on DS is FINALLY coming true! Virtual Console now comes to the Nintendo 3DS when the 3DS is released 2/26/2011 in Japan. It only tells that Game Boy & GBA games will be available for download, but as we all know, time may or will tell soon if a decision change is added to the service. Currently from the Nintendo Conf...
This Japanese Wii game boasts massive graphics

Or Shadow of the Colossus for that matter. Not that American gamers will necessarily get to play it; Xenoblade is made by Monolith Soft, the same studio that developed the International-only Disaster Day of Crisis for Wii. (via GAF)
Nintendo Halloween costume ideas, anyone?
I might be late to the party, but tonight I stumbled across the most impressive fan-made cosplay of Samus’s Varia Suit I’ve ever seen, and with Halloween right around the corner, figured it would be fun to share. Nintendo costumes are now a dime a dozen, but it’s rare to find true quality in the sea of cheap knock-offs. This impressive homage to our favorite bounty hunter took si...
Epic Mickey launches November 30
Epic Mickey, the Wii-exclusive that should have been a 2D platformer but will will probably rock our faces off anyway, will arrive on November 30, Disney Interactive Studios confirmed to Infendo today. A new streamlined launch trailer also arrived in our inbox, and is available here: I’m buying. Who else’s buyin’ what Warren Spector’s laying down?
Unconfirmed: German paper touts November 11 3DS launch date
Is the Nintendo 3DS launching in Japan on November 11? Possibly yes, if a German tabloid with a track record for calling Nintendo rumors correctly is to be believed. Case in point, according to Bild, which cites no source but nevertheless definitively lists a Japanese launch date, the 3DS is arriving in Nippon on November 11. No word was given on a U.S. or European launch date, save for “spr...

What non-gaming activities are you participating in this weekend?
Me? I’m watching college football all freaking weekend, including a trip to Lavell Edwards Stadium to hopefully see BYU beat Nevada in a game of gridiron, tickets courtesy of my well-placed uncle. (Go, Cougars!) What about you? What non-gaming stuff are you doing this weekend? Got any exciting plans you want to share?
Completely unsurprising Wiimote with MotionPlus built in outed by GameStop
Wow! What a shock! GameStop, as they are wont to do with new products and kit, has inadvertently outed an all-in-one Wiimote/MotionPlus combo controller with their listing for the sure-fire sleeper hit of the holiday season, FlingSmash. Looks like the new controller is going to be bundled in with this game (and probably many others) sometime in early November. And, since it’s going to inevit...
