The above video seems pretty dated, but in case you missed it, check out a successful multiplayer DS phat session while skydiving over the desert of California.

The gang at GoNintendo has stumbled upon the tentative release date of the one game that, in my humble opinion, would have best shown off the Wii controller at launch: WarioWare: Smooth Moves. According to the game’s description on the official Wii site, the madness will arrive on January 15. Another interesting tidbit: the site says the game is “1 player, some 2-5 players.” Five...

Tim Leong tells of his experience as a model during a recent Wii lifestyle photo (or video) shoot: “So, today I was called upon to be a model for an upcoming advertorial we’re doing with Nintendo. They had the new Nintendo Wii on set, nunchuck controllers and all. The only sad part? It wasn’t plugged in. So, I didn’t get to play the Wii, but I did get to play with the contr...

British Gaming Blog is reporting that the above is final box art (at least for Europe) for Wii Sports, proper box and all. [Thanks, Jibaro009]

A large grain of salt fell on my head just now, but I kept on keeping on to bring you this post. Punch Jump has an article up today that says Rampage: Total Destruction has been seen retailing for as low as $29.99. That’s lower than some DS titles! It makes sense, however, given that the current-gen Rampage title retails for $20. Anyone have any additional info on this one? Because I need an...

Mario plush toys are good harmless fun. Yoshi ones too, provided the lil’ guy isn’t hungry. Pair them together, well, nothing but the best, most wholesome fun a Nintendo fan could imagine ensues. Yup, this is definitely not news in any way, shape or form whatsoever.

There comes a time in every consoles life when it must either accept defeat, or embrace victory. Today, the DS must shed its happy-go-lucky, fun-loving attitude and embrace the fact that it has kicked the bully’s butt; that it has taken on the Ferrari supercar with its Honda Civic shell and has won the day. But first, this chart for reference: 1- New Super Mario Bros. (NIntendo, DS) 3.09 mil...

Here’s my current backlog of Nintendo link goodness, in case you missed any of the below: Triforce Spotting (via comments) Recent BitFlicks animation Awesome cardboard Game Boy with “penny roll” batteries Coolest retro Nintendo shirt in a long time (pictured) Super Mario multiplayer PC game Quiz: What video game should you be in? Have at it, my fellow Nintendo nerds.

If you’ve read a Nintendo Power magazine in the last year, two, or maybe even three, chances are you’ve seen the above Ocarina flute in ads with a purple-painted face lady. I finally checked out the manufacturer’s website, and these little puppies are pretty cool. The classic Ave Maria (MP3) has never sounded so Zelda soothe-ish in a midi sorta way. I smell a contest prize…...

When an electronic device has sales as dominant as the Playstation 2, it becomes an industry model. Launching a year before the Xbox and Gamecube, the Playstation 2 built up large sales lead and never let go. Nintendo fans took note: they long debated that the Gamecube’s successor should launch first. Microsoft apparently took note also: they have launched the Xbox 360 a year ahead of the Wi...

For those Infendo readers camping out on November 18/19 for a Wii, look to the skies while you wait as the Leonid Meteor Shower streaks by overhead. Is it an omen? A clue that Mario Galaxy might launch with the system after all? A sign from above that the Wii launch is just that much cooler than the PS3’s? Who cares, because depending on the strength of the Wii launch, it may be the last tim...

A close friend of mine who is not into gaming (though interested in Nintendo’s Wii) had this to say in a recent IM conversation regarding Wii Experience videos: “That Wii site was cool with all those videos of people using it. It made me think, however, ‘or you could go outside and actually play tennis.'” I thought it was funny, and yes, he was only kidding.
