DS box art, prequel details emerge for Assassin’s Creed
GoNintendo has the scan, and it’s apparent that Assassin’s Creed for the DS will be a prequel of sorts for everyone’s favorite man in white. Rules out a card game, so I was wrong, but there’s obviously a lot more to learn about what this title is all about.
De Blob improves its chances with better style
IGN muses: “Our latest play session shows a drastic improvement in [sound], as the its musical score works in turn with the game’s color progression. When the level begins, the world is monotone and the music is slow and thin. The more color you add though, the more the music builds in a similar fashion to SSX Blur. The result is a much stronger overall attitude for de Blob, as it now ...
Weigh In – Winter Sports: The Ultimate Challenge
Every week, I check Gamasutra’s sales figures just to see what’s popular. It normally isn’t newsworthy, with WiiPlay and Super Mario Galaxy dominating the charts. The last few weeks, though, I’ve seen Winter Sports: The Ultimate Challenge popping up in the Top 5. Its budget price helps, I’m sure, but is it any good? Have you played Winter Sports: The Ultimate Challe...
Beer and bowling, Wii style
Note to self: Travel more. Addendum: Travel more to places that enjoy a good spirit or two. Plus Wii Bowling. The Publican, via Maxconsole, says the Wii has been a hit since day one at Brixton Bar and Grill in London. The pub runs “Wii Love Wednesdays,” which has patrons play against each other free of charge and the rest of the hooligans watch the action a big screen. “I had this back...
Nintendo Spotting: McDonald’s got game
Mark from Salt Lake City writes: “I saw this set up at a local McDonald’s. They had two GameCube systems, one with Pokemon and one with Smash Bros. Melee. I wish they had a Wii to help me burn the 6000 calories I just downed.”
Guitar Hero’s success helping or hurting Wii?
For more than a decade, it has been common knowledge within the gaming populace that third-parties struggle to sell their games on Nintendo consoles. For one reason or another, the Nintendo audience generally doesn’t respond to mass sellers like Tony Hawk, Need For Speed or Call of Duty. This tradition hasn’t changed much on Wii. Madden sales have bombed two years in a row, and even th...
How important is Wii Fit to Nintendo’s future?
Confession: I’ve been anticipating the release of Wii Fit since first experimenting with the title at E3 last year, for two reasons: I’m chunky, and the Ski Jump mini game was a blast. I’m hopeful other unannounced games will be just as enjoyable. The health/mini-game software launched in Japan on Dec. 1 for $75 (including the balance board) and has sold more than 1 million copie...
Another DS games of 2008 list…
Next Generation is totally late to the party. On December 17, 2007, Infendo’s own resident DS guru David had a list of the ten most promising DS of 2008 games and only today does the corporate-fueled Next Generation have a similar list up on their site. HA! Anyway, all gloating aside, it’s good to compare these kinds of lists to see what we might have missed, or, in what is more often ...

WiiWare service due in 2-3 months
Just when I thought I was getting a hold on the pile of video game paraphernalia I received over the holiday a Netherlands-based developer said today that the mysterious WiiWare download service will definitively arrive in “2-3 months.” My wallet quivered a little in fear at the news, but as it has been so many times in the past 12 months, it was overridden by my blind loyalty to video...
Will there be Nintendo sequels on Wii?
I’m not sure if it was the GameCube’s sales figures that dictated this, but it seems like a lot of first party Nintendo games only got one entry on that console. Pikmin and Metroid being the few exceptions, mega-hits on the GameCube like the Smash Bros, Super Mario, and Mario Kart franchises seemed to be primed for at least one sequel. Was this a quality control choice by Nintendo?...
