Mini-poll – Everybody Votes, or do they?
Nintendo won my heart on Valentine’s Day with the release of the new Everybody Votes Channel. Polls are fun, but adding my Mii to the experience just takes it to a whole nuther level. As much as I love them, there are bound to be people who don’t. This week’s mini-poll* asks: Do you like polls? Yes No *it’s a mini-poll because the weekend and a new Infendo Radio are almost ...
Top 10 Nintendo romances
So I’m a day late with a Valentine’s Day post. You try posting while having to dodge skidding taxis in the slushy streets of New York City. Such is my love for Infendo that I took a break from some work-related conference coverage and found this gem on the top Nintendo romances of all time. No Zelda though. Here’s why: “Link and Zelda are the football player and cheerleader...
Blue Wii alerts make me play more video games
As I’ve stated too many times on the podcast, the first part of the year is a very busy one for me. Work significantly picks up and my toys (read: video games) always take a back seat… Until now. Late one night last week after working on few additional work tasks, I sat down in our living room to take a breather and chat with my wife before retiring to bed. And wouldn’t you know ...

Nintendo launches the Everybody Votes Channel
Have you seen that blue light flashing tonight? If not, you’d better head to the Shop Channel and check out the Wii Ware section because Nintendo did a surprise release of a brand new channel ”“ the Everybody Votes Channel. Does it provide an insightful look at the 2008 presidential race? Nope, it allows you to register up to six Miis and vote on such hot button issues as “Which is a more ro...
Reggie: Wii sales surpassing Xbox 360 matter of "when, not if"
I was wondering what happened to Reggie lately. He probably had to go on vacation in the heart of a volcano or something to recharge, but low and behold he was back at the DICE conference last week with a vengeance. He said he anticipates surpassing the installed base of the Xbox 360 with this sales rate. “The question is when,” he said. “That’s going to be drivenn (sic) by our own sales ra...
Console sales to date
2007 is still very young and there are plenty of titles set to drop later in the year for all systems, I know, but already in three and a half months the Wii has sold more than half the Xbox 360 total to date, and continues to distance itself from the waffle iron. Impressive. Most impressive (and yes, I say that a lot). How VG Charts methodology works here.
Nerf Sports Pack for Wii
This looks an awful lot like some other useless Wii accessories out there already, but it’s Nerf so they’re extra squishy and supposedly safe. The Nerf Sports Pack includes a Nerf foam sleeve for the Wii remote and three Nerf sports attachments–a foam golf club, baseball bat, and tennis racket. See? Safe. But I’d rather Nerf stick to making huge foam dart-shooting sniper ri...
