Yahoo! tells us why it’s so hard to find a Wii
Since it’s been so hotly debated on Infendo and all across the world, I’m glad Yahoo! is finally able to answer the question, “Why is the Nintendo Wii so hard to find?” The Wii is hard to find because everybody wants one. Sorry if that’s a bit anticlimactic, but it really is that simple. Glad they could straighten that out for “Tim” in Salt Lake City. Yaho...
Virtual Console Monday – Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fire
With a name long enough to warrant its own Virtual Console Monday, a SNES classic is released today: Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fireâ„¢ (SNES, 1-8 players, 800 Wii Points): Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV is a tactical simulation game in which the player takes the role of a ruler seeking to unite China in the era of the three kingdoms of Wei, Wu and Shu. Sounds like that might be r...
CAD: Wiimote takes out last remaining Wii joke
Sure I shuddered a bit when the name was first announced, but when you think about it, only 10-year-olds and really insecure older folk actually associate the word “Wii” with peeing or the the places where pee comes from. It was childish then, and it’s just plain sad now. Ctrl-Alt-Del takes out the holdouts.
NGamer: No Wii Friend Codes. Bwa- Whaa?
I really don’t care what the eventual Wii Friend Code outcome is, but seriously this friend code debate (or is that fiend code to some?) is getting me downright dizzy. At first each console had one code, then each game had their own code a la the DS, and then today GoNintendo digs up yet another magazine scan that shows NGamer dropping a new bomb on the pile. This whole “controversy...
Nintendo Power features first party developer bonanza
GameSetWatch’s video game magazine round up features Nintendo Power again, and lauds the mag for its Nintendo first party exclusivity access. In this case: Pokemon. Oh, and if you want to get some insight into Nintendo’s first party developer scene, there’s a handful fo interviews there, as well: This month’s NP kicks it on the interview front as well, featuring a roundtabl...
Nintendo Spotting – Baby sleeping with Wii-mote
Infendo fan (and proud uncle) Ben from Boise sent us this adorable shot of his 18-month old nephew snoozing with a Wii Remote and Nunchuk. I’m guessing he just finished playing a few rounds of Smooth Moves. [Thanks again, Ben!]
Cracked pipes
There’s pipes, there’s crack. I did the math. If you want to even be able to consider buying this shirt, go to Threadless and vote it into reality.
Target deals to spin your wheels
Target’s the place to be for DSers this week. The superstore is selling all DS software in the neighborhood of $29.99 and up for a discounted 24 bones. Nevermind SSX Blur, we both know what the real gamer’s game is. That’s right, Pet Vet. Getcha bargain on.
Rest in peace, Dampe
Today Infendo mourns the loss of Daniel Barras (aka Dampe), who created “The Ocarina of Time 2D” game and project. Dampe died in a car crash this week and I think it’s important that we all take a moment to reflect on the loss of one of the Nintendo community’s most devoted. Dampe’s page has been taken down at the request of his family, if you’d like to honor hi...
