Earlier this week we spent some time thinking about GameBoy’s relevancy. Nintendo is about to replace one of its three pillars, so we ask you: Which current generation Nintendo systems do you own? GameCube DS / DS lite GBA / SP / micro   

Nintendo Life has found and interesting little idiosyncrasy with the Nintendo brand and how it will or won’t be used next to brand Wii in marketing materials. From the article: “Know that Nintendo wants you to refer to their new system simply as ‘Wii’, not ‘Nintendo Wii’… We didn’t think too much to this until recently we saw a full cover jacket for ...

IGN has posted a new launch guide that explains all things Wii. The micro site includes full technical specifications, price, release date; in-depth looks at the Wii remote, nunchuk, and classic controller; and Wii channels and their interface; and full details on what classic, downloadable games will be available and how much they’ll cost. Here’s some questions for your info hunting s...

Congratulations to Robert, aka chikara, from North Sydney, Nova Scotia! By signing up for the Infendo Newsletter, Robert was entered in a drawing for the classic GameCube racer, F-Zero GX. Thanks to everyone who subscribed to the newsletter! Keep your eyes peeled for another Infendo Contest just around the corner.

According to pics posted over at Wii Fanboy, at least one Target has installed one of those Wii endcaps Infendo Forums member Basil showed us earlier this month. This means that for a few lucky Target shoppers, those Wiimote covers and infamous Wii dog tags are now available for purchase. Who’s got some? [Update: Apparently, theJON’s got some, because he had these in the forums too!]

Cubed has a an interview up today with Marek Okon, the game designer/art director for Eastern European game developer Nibris. Nibris, to date, has a lot of great artwork and screenshots on their web site, but very little in the way of gameplay. That said, there’s promise here, as they are busy developing several innovative looking titles for both the DS and the Wii; including Raid of the Riv...

Aeropause recently did a “color of next gen” comparison of many of the titles coming out soon and it was, in a word, brown. Today, they do a new one on “new gen” and it’s a bit more, well, colorful. You decide, and tell us how important the concept of color is to your gaming experience?

Modojo claims that Nintendo has quietly killed off the Game Boy line in favor of supporting the stellar and hot-selling DS. From the article: “While some might say that Nintendo supported their three pillar strategy – I believe otherwise. When it was announced that the Nintendo DS was going to be a portable gaming device that not only played Nintendo DS games, but GBA games as well, it...

A Best Buy employee emailed this last night unveiling “pre-awareness Wii merchandise” set to hit the retailer on November 1. Lookin’ good, count-down clock included! [Thanks, employee whose name we must not speak!]

Guess what? Sony broke Lik-Sang. That’s right, they broke it with a series of lawsuits and an anti-importing strategy and sued them into the ground. Have a Wii preorder with Lik-Sang? It’s gone. Refund is incoming. I have taken the liberty of reprinting the press release that you now get should you try and click “buy now” anywhere on Lik-Sang. A popular importer is out of b...

You’ve probably seen a few screenshots of the main character in Red Steel wielding two swords, but until today there’s been scant rumor or speculation — an Internet rarity — on how the player goes about securing the second blade. Conventional thinking says you discover it lying on the ground somewhere, a la your traditional FPS, but Red Steel is not shaping up to be your tr...
