Poll – Smash Bros Brawl spoilers
Infendo and pretty much the entire Internet exploded with information and discussion about the new Smash Bros Brawl game. It’s out in Japan this week and in North America in five weeks. Some folks devour and search out every bit of information the can while others don’t want to see anything that isn’t on their own personal TV. Where do you stand on this issue? {democracy:30...
Should the original Nintendo Seal of Quality return?
Today Gamasutra asked a bunch of analysts if Nintendo should revisit the 1980s, when the Nintendo Seal of Quality actually meant something, and then apply that mindset to the Wii. Apparently, there’s a dearth of low-quality, sub par efforts on the Wii right now, and it’s officially time to completely forget the DS’s early track record and again start declaring to the hilltops tha...

Maybe Wii isn’t a third-party afterthought
According to Krome Studios, the Wii version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will feature five exclusive levels and with “places where the [PS3/360] story veers off… in a different direction, like the Jedi Temple level.” I hope LucarsArts invests sufficient resources to make the Wii version unique, not half-baked. This is a start.

Infendo Review: No More Heroes
Obscene would be the best way to describe this game. Not so much in the sense that there are gratuitous amounts of visceral fluids on screen, or that the language would make a sailor blush; but rather that Suda 51, the game’s creators are attempting to sell you a reality where you use coconut transportation as a means to pay an entry fee into a battle royal of the top assassins in the world....

Competetive Mario Kart DS Hits Korean TV
Many people know Korea is the place for competitive gaming, but you generally only hear about Starcraft leagues and counter-strike championships. Well, Siliconera has a brief write-up on a Korean television show that makes a spectator sport out of Mario Kart DS! Of course these kinds of “game-shows (no pun intended)” are nothing new to Korea, but the DS is, and its surprising popularit...
CNET agrees with Infendo – SNES best console
Don Reisinger of CNET blogged about the best console ever and he picked the SNES. This concurs with Infendo’s recent poll on a similar subject, where our faithful readers chose it above all other Nintendo consoles. Big difference with his post, though, is that he claims it to be superior over all consoles. You picked SNES above other Nintendo systems, but do you think it deserves to be c...
Comment of the Week: Video game industry cynicism
When we reported on how the video game industry outpaced both movies and music in 2007, one reader had a very informed, very spot on observation to make. Jeff, take it away with the Infendo Comment of the Week: I certainly hope they credit Wii and DS alone for this growth. The growth rates of both the 360 hardware and the PS3 combined don’t even match the PS2’s, while the Wii is beatin...
