We’ve had several emails and calls inquiring about which controller can be used for what games on Wii. Well CVG got some informative details in an interview with Nintendo regarding the supported Wii controllers (Wiimote, Nunchuck, Classic, and GameCube/Wavebird) and which work on what. Though incomplete, hopefully this fancy little Infendo matrix can put most of your questions to rest. UPDAT...

From an interview at GamePro, Nintendo Senior Vice President George Harrison regarding Twilight Princess: GamePro: What sorts of online features are you looking forward to in the future? Harrison: Downloadable content, such as additional levels. That’s a pretty incredible statement and one that I tend to doubt. (It wouldn’t be the first time a Nintendo rep made an inaccurate statement ...

THQ CEO Brian Farrell has predicted “healthy sales” for the Wii, and said his company will remain on board to release additional titles in 2007. Do I smell a Sponge Bob Squarepants sequel? Hmm? But in all seriousness, Farrell was also quite confident that the system would reach the multi-million unit goals Nintendo has set for it. And, it wouldn’t be a Jack post without a little ...

Oh, to be IT writer Stan Beer. Writing about console gaming; living the life; shooting people in the dark alleys of Las Vegas just to watch them die. Riding the streets g’d up from the feet up in his pimped out Honda Civic hoping the fuzz don’t catch him and his posse ridin’ dirty. Must be nice.

The horrible translation from the developer’s pag...

Infendo Forum moderator, theJON, visited the Nintendo World Store this weekend and spent some time playing Wii. Unfortunately, he spent even more time waiting in line. His hours of waiting netted him play time with only three titles, but despite that, he says, “I’m quite satisfied with my experience and put at ease with the fact that the Wii is going to be one kick butt system.” ...

If the control menu/sensitivity settings for Twilight Princess are any indication, then the whole “will my Wiimote be as accurate as I think it should be” thing can be laid to rest. From IGN: “And finally, you can fully modify your Wii remote’s settings. For instance, you can turn the device’s internal speaker volume up or down. An on-screen circle shows where your re...

I kid the Cass here on Infendo sometimes; about his crazy hair taking over his brain; about being corporate; about seizure-inducing flash-ads … but then he goes and says something like this about Twilight Princess, and I just melt. “There’s no way to know for sure how it’ll all turn out yet, as even with 10 hours under my belt I’ve only scratched the surface.
