Wiimote supply and demand

It can’t be said enough that the success of the Wii really depends overwhelmingly on the Wiimote and gameplay. So, here’s a quick question: There are indications that the Wii will be extremely hard to come by, at least around launch time. That said, has anyone looked into whether or not there are enough Wiimotes to go around? A lot of people are going to be needing 2, 3 even 4 Wiimotes...

Full Nintendo Wii manual uploaded

GamePro has uploaded the entire Wii manual for your pre-launch viewing pleasure. Maybe now we’ll actually read one of these things… Nah.

Forbes, Wii draw crowd

Every Star Wars movie is currently running on Cinemax right now, so maybe that’s why when I read this article on Forbes.com today I imagined the scene when Obi Wan and Vader are fighting in the hangar in Episode 4. If you remember, all the stormtroopers go over to gawk at their infamous final lightsaber duel, leaving the Milennium Falcon unguarded so Luke, Han and the others can get aboard a...

Wii reviews start hitting the Net

The various “usual” outlets have started to review Wii games (GN, GameInformer, Game Spy), and they’re running the board from 7.5 to 8’s. So far I’ve seen Monkey Ball, Wii Sports, Trauma Center and Call of Duty reviewed, and they’re all fairing quite well. Trauma Center and Monkey Ball have done especially well, receiving scores in the 8’s. Now, I know we ...

Gizmodo makes intern recreate "N64 Kid" with Wii

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNi4p7mpBlM]Oh come on. Gizmodo is just rubbing it in now. First, they were getting Wii delivered via ice cream truck, then they were stuffing brand new next-gen consoles down their pants, and now they have their intern Benny opening his “Christmas gift” in a video that recreates the demonic glory of the Nintendo 64 Kid. Poor Benny, I laugh at yo...

Live in Japan? Prepare for 400,000 Wii

For those Infendo readers residing in the Land of the Rising Sun (which is certainly not New England this morning), you will have a guaranteed 400,000 Wii’s to fight over when it launches in December. That’s four times as many as another recently launched console, but there’s no word from Nintendo if dropping this news bit today was in response to anything or just a bit of good o...

I Love You Skip Ltd.

Here is a personal flashback to 2003: I remember hearing about this crazy game called GiFTPiA being developed by some company I had never heard of. What caught my attention was two prominent members of this Skip Ltd. company had worked on Chrono Trigger! I looked further and found this game was full of quirky ideas and had an interesting and very unique story. Too bad it never came to North Americ...

Full Retail Price vs. Bargain Bin

Everyone who has visited a Gamestop or EB Games is familiar with the bargain bin, featuring (approximately) year old games at a reduced price. I’ve picked a few gems out of the bargain bin for my Gamecube, including Pikmin 2, Viewtiful Joe 2, and Madden 2005. It lets you experience games you probably wouldn’t buy at full retail while saving a few bucks in the process. A great deal over...

What Wii FPS are you buying: Red Steel or Call of Duty 3

4cr points to a new Call of Duty 3 Wii trailer that despite its oldish visuals, looks very engaging. Hopefully this bad boy can delivery some freshness to the tired WWII FPS genre. So which launch FPS game are you most excited for? Which will you buy?
