Nintendo holds back, shuffles Japanese Wii/DS supply
Stay away from the Internet today. Why? Well, Nintendo has allegedly dialed back its Wii and DS supply in Japan, and the weekly sales totals are smaller than they have been in quite a while. With this in mind, you’ll be able to deftly dodge, duck and barrel roll yourself past all the spin and fanboy nonsense today that says Nintendo’s Ivory Tower is crumbling and will soon collapse und...
Get your mitts on Cooking Mama (Korea only)
Sometimes a DS game is just too hot to handle. When that happens, be sure to break out the oven mitts you received with your Cooking Mama kit in Korea. Honestly, what the eff. Between this and the insanely unfair Nintendo Club love that our neighbors in Nippon get I’ve about had it with Nintendo and their anti-American bias. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go play a round o...
Worms worms its way into the top 20 DS games ever
Worms interest me. And I’m not talking about the ones that clog the streets after a heavy rain, or the ones that can attack your poochy’s heart. No, the ones I crave have weapons of war, and drive tanks, and kick ass. So, it was with a slight tear in my eye today that I read Worms 2: Open Warfare is getting a warm, napalm-esque reception on the review scene. Truly, there is no smell gr...
Will PS4, Xbox 3 have motion/pointer controls?
Having fallen in love with Metroid Prime 3’s vastly superior first-person controls, I’ve gotta ask: {democracy:16}
The greatest Mario game you’ve ever hated
His red cap expresses more than words are able. The fact that “his” name is not necessary information, and that a mere description of his headwear floods the mind with fond memories – punctuated, of course, by a gleeful “Woo hoo!” – is proof enough. Mario defines gaming. Nary a single one of his adventures has been ill-received by critics over the years. His entertaining romps throug...
Nintendo Spotting: PAX power to the people
Gabe over at Penny Arcade has a nice post-note to PAX up today, but the image above was too awesome to ignore here at Infendo. It sums up — I think anyway — the conference, the attendees, the atmosphere, and gaming all in one photo. Oh, and it’s a damn fine photograph in general too. These all-encompassing kinds of photos are pretty rare, so it’s pretty awesome that a video...
Metroid ‘unlike anything experienced’ in games
Just what does the Associated Press, the world’s largest news service, have to say about Metroid Prime 3? The tactile sensation of flicking the nunchuk to throw a grapple beam and yank something off a wall is unlike anything I’ve experienced before in a video game. Instead of tapping a button to pull a lever, simply twist and move your hand around to pull it, like you would in the real...
Wii versus the world, analogy style
Joystiq is having some fun with George Harrison’s recent interview about the console wars, in which he invokes cars to make the whole war thing easier to understand. It’s not the first time this has happened. Sony was also caught making similar references with food and restaurants in a GamePro interview. We all know how that turned out. In an interview with The Motley Fool, Harrison co...
Washing the hardcore away
If this were December, and not the still rather toasty month of September, I’d say you should curl up with a nice cup of cocoa and enjoy this latest epic novella from Infendo resident savant Malstrom by a crackling fire of burning Lair discs and instruction manuals. But it’s not. But read it anyway. Every last word. It’s an epic piece on hardcore gamers (and much, much more), and...
Online or Wiimote — which is more important to gaming’s future?
The installed base numbers don’t quite agree with Peter Molyneux on this point, but he’s out there saying it anyway. Maybe he’s one of those 3rd party chaps who just doesn’t “get” the Wii yet. There’s still time, Peter. Start thinking outside of that box. Start looking at the facts. If Live was the driver you say it is, then 3rd party developers would be c...
