Review: Geometry Wars: Galaxies (DS)
It is no secret that we’ve been all over the Wii version of Geometry Wars: Galaxies here at Infendo. Blake has been singing its praises on a weekly basis on Infendo Radio, we awarded it our highest ranking in our review and even crowned it as one of the five best Wii games of 2007. We’ve been shamelessly singing the praises of this beautiful shooter for weeks, and if you’ve playe...
Open Letter to Nintendo: HIRE Johnny Lee
He’s at it again … Johnny Lee is blowing minds and expanding the scope and reach of the Wii remote with his incredible inventions. Nintendo, snatch this guy up today and pay him lots of money–the future of video games depends on it! Well, ok, maybe not, but this kid’s pretty set in life after he gets out of school, IMHO.

Satoru Iwata is Next Generation’s 2007 Person of the Year
This past year was arguably a year of high’s and more high’s for Nintendo. Any of the firm’s blemishes were easily washed away by its monthly successes, and the core gamer — the everyman and woman who once again controls the fate of the video game industry — would tell you that Nintendo met their expectations and then some (with the exception, of course, that supply c...
Wii Fit motivates other Wii titles into Japan’s top ten
Are you one of the doubters? When you saw Wii Fit debut earlier this year, did you scoff and sneer like 95% of the “enthusiast press?” News today from Japan goes a long way towards making people like you the left out in the cold variety, as Wii Fit has not only sold decently, it also boosted the sales of other Wii games that many people were ready to right off as disappointments in the...
Paper Mario animation probably took a long time
Interesting. Cute, even. But the rumored six months it took to complete seems a bit high. I think I’d rather just fire up Super Paper Mario on the Wii and play read a few hundred lines of dialogue instead. Or not. EDIT@8:33 a.m.: Six weeks.
Influential game editor endorses GTA IV on Wii
Says 2K/Rockstar on the possibility of Grand Theft Auto 4 on Wii: “Right now I think, no disrespect meant for the platform, but there are other titles better suited for the Wii.” Says Brian Crecente of Kotaku: “[Rockstar] didn’t have any problem bringing Manhunt to the Wii, so why not Grand Theft Auto. I know Manhunt was a PS2 game, but I can’t imagine that they can&#...
Review: Value-priced Puzzle Quest is holiday sleeper hit
A couple of years ago I sat in an unremarkable restroom stall at my old office building playing a pretty unremarkable — yet surprisingly addictive — game on my old cell phone. The game was Bejeweled, and even though much of the game revolves around luck — will the right gems fall from the sky or will you be left with no more moves? — I found myself regularly playing the tit...
Two new Virtual Console platforms incoming
It would seem that Nintendo’s recent web site redesign was more than just for show as two additional spots have appeared on the Japanese Virtual Console page. Today, there are eight spots in all, with just six spots filled. Ominous greyscale Famicom controllers occupy the empty spots, which wild rampant speculation says will be filled by at least the Sega Master System if there’s anyth...
The WiiWare folder: King Arthur’s World
While driving amongst the frozen snowbanks of Massachusetts today, I had an epiphany. Or a revelation. Or something. Basically, I wanted to play a new, updated, wonderfully 2-D version of Jaleco’s Super Nintendo maserpiece King Arthur’s World on either the Wii or the DS. Since I’m a sucker for video games (Nintendo in particular), I figured this could be the beginning of a series...
Early NiGHTS reviews are promising – UPDATE
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c41bOjKa9Rw[/youtube] Nintendo Power (Jan. 2008) gave the game a 9 out of 10, saying “Director Takashi Iizuka and his team have hit one of out the park, delivering a follow-up in every way worthy of its legendary predecessor.” EGM scores (Jan. 2008) were lower at 7, 7.5, and 7 out of 10, but all three editors lauded the lush visuals, symphonic so...
