Infendo
Why do I defend Nintendo?
Writing on the Internet is a tricky trade. Just here on Infendo alone I’ve been called all manner of vile things that go bump in the night by both the well-informed and the insipidly ignorant and stupid. At the same time, however, I’ve also received my fair share of compliments and I’ve had the truly awesome opportunity of engaging in respectful, thought provoking conversations w...
It pays to think differently, literally
The Wii and DS combined outsold everything else by a sizable margin in the month of July according to NPD. The reason? Both systems are cheap, they think differently, and there are absolutely no good games for either machine. Well, I know two out of three of those reasons are accurate… Nintendo Wii: 425K Nintendo DS: 405K Sony PlayStation 2: 222K Sony PSP: 214K Microsoft Xbox 360: 170K Sony ...
Top Spin Wii announced with suspect controls
I was thrilled to hear that an all new (read: not a port) Top Spin is coming to Wii in Spring 2008. I was disappointed, however, upon hearing how the controls would work. The intuitive pick-up-and-play action in Top Spin Tennis allows gamers to use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers in a way that matches the movements players would make on a real court. The Nunchuk controls the player and aim,...
Wii overtakes Xbox 360 in worldwide sales
The latest chart from VG Chartz shows us that Wii has outsold the Xbox 360 and PS3, worldwide. While that’s exciting and a little earlier than expected, the real point of interest is that Wii has sold nearly as many units in the Americas as the PS3 has worldwide. What should Sony learn from the current state of their console sales?
Rabbids invade Leipzig, again
Ingenius. Brilliant. Hilarious.
Metroid 3: Darker, more mysterious, and the marketing’s just fine
Tycho over at Penny Arcade sums it up nicely: I keep hearing that Metroid Prime 3: Corruption isn’t being promoted very well, but the person saying this always seems to know about it, and then when people share this complaint in the thread those people also seem to be “in the know.” It ships on the twenty-seventh of August, if you weren’t aware – but since you almost ...
EA takes crazy pills, ignores market trends
EA is apparently throwing us all a curve this morning, given the fact that executives only recently divided up the company and created a dedicated “casual games” division. GamePro reports… Several sources are reporting that an Electronic Arts representative has confirmed that its Xbox 360 games take priority over other systems as multi-platform titles near completion. The represe...
Nintendo Spotting: Chrono cosplay edition
No, that’s definitely not a Big Daddy. He is, however, also from another great game you might have heard of.

Nintendo’s European release schedule leaked
Next Generation seems to think this is legit. If so, then prepare for Mario BEFORE the holiday my European brothers and sisters! The list, after the jump!
More Super Mario Galaxy info revealed in Nintendo Power
Relax, this is by no means a spoiler — but it’s not as if Mario game plotlines are all that hard to figure out to begin with, right? Mario, save princess, fight Bowser. W00t! (Note: Mario does not say “w00t,” nor should anyone else. It’s ridiculous.) Nintendo Power (via WiiPals): “Every hundred years a comet passes over the Mushroom Kingdom and rains down magical star...
