I like mini games — there I said it.
When Ninja Reflex was announced yesterday for Wii and DS, I was excited with the prospects — a game that combines my love of ninjas and the chance to enhance my reflexes. Yes, I’m easily amused (though I only expect this to be a fun diversion when it’s released in March). Oh, it doesn’t sound glamorous by any stretch of the imagination, and it doesn’t contain a suffix...
Nintendo’s plush new San Francisco office
Here it is, the new Nintendo office in San Francisco. Everyone around the Internet seems to think his is a very clean, simple office compared to what went down in Redmond. It would make sense. New digs, new image, new office atmosphere. Has Nintendo softened its image to fit in with the new “everyone plays” approach?
Opinion: Square Enix backed the wrong horse
When you’ve built your entire business around grandiose, movie-like fantasy titles with huge, in-depth cutscenes, what do you do when a graphically inferior console is currently eating up the entire video game industry? Did you say lash out? Complain? How about whine and moan? If so, you’re correct, and Yoichi Wada, CEO of Square Enix, deserves a prize. On Wednesday, Yoichi told CNET t...
Nintendo Spotting: Finals-week edition
As college students nationwide prepare for a long week of all-nighters and coffee-binges, it is only natural for some to lose focus and doodle panoramas of the Mushroom Kingdom on classroom chalkboards. These girls vandalized their Indiana University of Pennsylvania classroom with such a vintage scene. Hey, a little Mario never hurt anyone.

Poll – Which hurts more?
With so many great games out these days, we’re all playing a lot more Nintendo than usual. Whether it’s handheld or hooked to a TV, you’re sure to be spending long nights collecting or killing everything in sight. This week for our poll, we want to know: {democracy:24} [For last week’s results, click here.]
Animated short spoofs Smash Bros. Brawl
Nintendo Wii Fanboy has a link up today to a pretty awesome, albeit long, animated movie featuring the ballooning cast of characters in Smash Bros. Brawl. If you have five minutes or so to spare today, check it out. On more than one occasion the various scenes had me laughing out loud. And I agree with NWFB — Snake steals the show.
Score a Wii for the holidays
I’ll preface my bias with an apology before I begin. There, done. That said, I’m sorry to say that not all video game consoles are created equal. Executives can spin and spin all they want, and analysts can attempt to show they are precognitive by guessing correctly what’s going to happen month after month, but in the end the fact remains that articles such as the one I’m a...
Charity GET: Kid gives up Wii to foster child
We do a lot of talk about what games and systems we want for ourselves this holiday season — and by that I mean the Infendo community and people in general — so it’s awesome to see examples of people that go out of their way to make sure the less fortunate among us have a great holiday. Case in point, little Brandyn Waterford, 9, did what many of us would probably deem unthinkabl...
Activision: Downloadable GH3 songs on Wii next year
“Downloadable content for the Wii is something we are working very hard on getting in place for the new year,” a Red Octane official said in an email to Nintencast. “There is no definite timetable in place but we are hoping it will be soon.” How about a fix for mono-only sound while you’re at it?
