Nintendo announced today the current success of their Touch Generation DS series that have sold close to 3.5 million total games. With the news also comes the release of a limited edition Nintendogs Dalmation edition due October 18, and Clubhouse Games out today. From the release: “Available today exclusively for Nintendo DS Lite, Clubhouse Games includes more than 40 traditional party favor...

1UP is reporting in addition to several new updates such as confirmed Big Brain Academy for Wii in 2007, “Wii Compact Software” for next spring (downloadable, non- VC mini games/sims), new DS cooking software and that Zelda: Twilight Princess for the GameCube will only be made available through Nintendo’s online store. From the article: “Nintendo has decided that the GameCu...

The Infendo Forums have been buzzing with discussions about pre-ordering Wii. Most of the time, pre-orders just add another chance for eBay vultures to swoop in and keep systems out of the hands of real gamers. Besides that, I think it’s a lot more fun to stand in line. Apparently Best Buy agrees and they will not be taking any pre-orders for Wii. Do you prefer pre-orders or are you looking ...

For our Japanese friends, the confirmed list of launch and launch window titles for Wii (via Go Nintendo): Launch – Wii Sports (Nintendo)– Wario Ware Smooth Moves (Nintendo)– The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Nintendo)– Hajimete no Wii: Your First Step To Wii (Nintendo)– Wing Island (Hudson)– SD Gundam Revolution (Bandai Namco)– Elebits (Konami)̵...

“What could this be?” Those words now greet you at the U.S. Wii Web site alongside an image of the Wiimote. What follows are a series of six videos that show various people of all walks of life actually using the Wiimote to play WiiSports. An older gent bowls, a young woman plays tennis for the first time, and a young guy gets comfortable in the batter’s box after a few swings of...

Nintendo Japan has the latest today on all things power cords and cabling for the Wii this morning, so if connecting things to other things is your thing, check it out (especially a first glimpse at the Ethernet connector in the image below). One thing to note is that previous peripherals like the Game Boy Player will not work with the Wii, as was pointed about by Dave. “Software of [nintend...

In what is most likely a smart social business move, Nintendo executive VP George Harrison maintains a My Space profile. But it doesn’t appear to be all marketing fluff. From his blog: “As an ‘over 40’ gaming guy myself (OK, a little more than over 40), I have at times felt left behind as my game skills and the time I have to play games have declined over the years. That...

EGM recently stated that only crappy games are being developed for the dying GBA (11/06 issue), hence the platform should just go away. I’m not going to lie; I think the target audience for the GBA is extremely young now, but I personally think the platform still has some life in it, despite the fact that even Nintendo wasn’t supporting it or the GameCube at E3 this year. Do you agree ...

Rumor has it that Wii preorders will begin this week at Gamestop and EB Games. I’ve even heard numbers of about 50 units per store. Also, EB Games has updated their online store with “preorder info coming soon!” With launch numbers being predicted at 2 million plus, however, is anyone still worried about not getting a Wii at launch?

With the Virtual Console almost upon us, this find might come in handy. What’s the find? How about hundreds of NES levels laid out in all their glory, much like Nintendo Power did back in the late 80’s and early 90’s? Study up, Infendo.

The Official Nintendo Magazine, which duped us all with a overblown embargoed cover tease last month, might be clawing its way back to at least the middle tier of respectability with its hands-on look at Red Steel. The mag is subscription only, but Wii Fanboy has a few bullet points from the magazine’s recent experience with one of the most anticipated FPS’s for the Wii launch. The con...

Joystiq reports of problems when sunlight hits Wii’s sensor bar, locking up games like Metroid Prime Hunters until the sunlight is removed from the sensor bar’s presence. Is this even an issue? Could it just be a demo unit problem?
