“It’s tricky,” Nintendo says of 3DS advertising
How the crap is Nintendo gonna show how awesome glasses-less 3D looks in non 3D commercials and billboards? Says one senior official from Japan, “We are constantly discussing how to market the product. Our internal PR departments are saying that we should use cinema advertising, because cinemas are capable of showing 3D movies. “But our key point with 3DS is that you don’t need g...
What downloadable Wii game have you enjoyed most?
Can be either WiiWare or Virtual Console. Whatever. So tell me: what has been your favorite downloadable Wii game so far? And if technically not your favorite, what downloadable Wii have you returned to or played the most? As for me, I gotta go World of Goo all the way. Yes, even more than anything else on Virtual Console. Although I have played a lot of Dr. Mario X with the wife.

Miyamoto on the 3DS, Zelda, and More
IGN AU: How long has the 3DS been in development? What’s the process behind the scenes? Shigeru Miyamoto: Basically the way it works is ”“ once we’ve finalised the design for a new hardware system and we’ve launched the hardware system, the hardware teams immediately begin research on what the next system will be. So it’s been ”“ I don’t know how long ”“ I guess about...

You probably won’t care about this Wii competition (and I don’t blame you)
Programming note: Uh, sorry. The whole of Infendo took an extra extended holiday this weekend, apparently. Now back to regularly scheduled breaking news (wink, wink). Over the next two months, Nintendo is hosting public tournaments at various malls and whatnot. Rather than demoing new games, however, the events are seemingly for bragging rights only for the following games: Wii Sports Resort, Mari...
Puzzle Quest 2 rocks my socks off
Just a quick public service announcement: Puzzle Quest 2 is amazing. They took a great game and tweaked it in all the right places. It really brings me back to the day where you could play an RPG and doing something like killing a polar bear and bringing its pelt back to someone didn’t seem so shocking. The one thing I miss from the original is the voice that says, “You are victori...
Nostalgia: The Legend of Zelda Game Manual
Do you remember when games gave you awesome instruction booklets? Not a flimsy black and white instruction manual on how to insert your game into your system, but a colorful book with story and descriptions of enemies and items? I remember those days, and it’s sad to say that it’s rare that games include anything more than cheap 8 page control book. So I decided to bring a little bit o...
