Infendo

How would you like life-sized statues of the entire Infendo staff? I tease of course, because anyone with a lick of sense knows that could never happen. If such statues did exist, and they happened to be placed together in the same location, Kefka would fall from the sky, laugh at you, and the world as we know it would crumble into a World of Ruin. So, instead, let me point you to Nintendo of Cana...

Usually when I do I really good job at something, I get a cookie. But not anymore. Now I want buttons. Lots and lots of buttons. With Nintendo characters on them from Wi-fi-enabled DS games. With these buttons, not only will I be well on my way to ruling the world, I’ll also have a way to broadcast to other DS owners that I am game for a game of DS Wi-fi. My days of posting emo listings on C...

Like most TV viewers, Nintendo fans don’t stay tuned in to one channel for news and discussion. In this three-part series, I talk to the editors of three popular Nintendo blogs to find out what makes them tick. First up is Kevin Cassidy, also known as RawmeatCowboy of GoNintendo: Why did you start a Nintendo specific blog?I have always been a huge Nintendo fan. I’ve been playing video ...

Once upon a time, a very smart publisher came up with a brilliant idea. It contacted Microsoft and Cliffy B. and got the ball rolling on a very unlikely project: Gears of War for Nintendo’s Game Boy Advance. Needless to say, there were many egos involved and unfortunately because of some issues that I won’t detail (Miyamoto hates gore), the project was eventually cancelled, but not bef...

Sky News has an article about an unfortunate young gamer who died while plugging in his GameBoy (I assume Advance) while on vacation in Thailand. The story seems mixed as to whether or not the boy was soaking wet when this happened. Tipster Jonic says:I doubt they would have focused on the appliance he was using had it not been a portable games console. Do you agree? [Thanks, Jonic] [UPDATE: Repla...

After a slight delay, Wii Play is set to drop February 12. With the wild success of Wii Sports however, I have to wonder aloud if this is going to be a colossal dud — Wiimote pack-in or not. Over at Wii Fanboy, the comments are disconcerting, as people in Europe who’ve had this game since launch day are calling the title a one-day-and-done affair (if that). I think someone even said th...

My ol’ friend over at IGN Matt Casamassina informs us that Halo DS was a real live boy title once upon a time before the powers that be — those being corporate suits with no grasp of fun — quashed the title for all the obvious Microsoft and Nintendo are fierce competitors reasons. But they didn’t squash it before Matty got his hands on a working build. “Amazingly, the...

Infendo reader Clunky Robot shares his buggy experience with poopsky Ubisoft software in the form of Far Cry: Vengeance for Wii. He writes: “Here’s some advice for Ubisoft, the developers of the game: Next time, put your game ending, system crashing bugs at the beginning of your games. That way, when I’m forced to stop playing because your game is so poorly designed it won’...

Some bloke has managed to modify his DS and turn it into iPod soft. Nice, but how about sharing the hack love? [via Techzo]
