IGN has an ongoing list of confirmed Wii boxart designs. Do you like the look?

As seen in Crete.

As part of what has become your “typical” Nintendo interview these days (the console is different, it’s for everyone, and it’s going to be easy to use and fun), Reggie Files-Aim gave ABC News a bit of a scoop when he told them he would be handing out the first Wii consoles to some lucky gamers at the Nintendo World Store in New York City at midnight on November 19. Unfortun...

Nintendo and Opera are giving away the Wii browser for FREE until July 2007 as a special worldwide promotion. After which the browser will be sold on the Wii Shop Store for an undetermined amount of Wii points. While the gesture is nice, unless web browsing on Wii offers a more valuable experience than my trusty mouse and keyboard, I’ll be using my Wii exclusively for gaming.

Playing classic Nintendo games is about to get a lot easier thanks to the Virtual Console. Of course, one could always find other ways to enjoy their old favorites. This week’s poll asks: Have you ever played classic Nintendo games on an emulator? Yes No What the heck are you talking about? [Special thanks to everyone who voted in our last poll. We set an Infendo record with over 5200 votes!...

Aeropause let everyone know today that the Wii has made the illustrious Toys R Us “Hot List.” It’s yet another example of how Nintendo has slowly but surely started to take over the entire world. Errm, or maybe the gaming industry — again. “This year’s, ‘Hot Toy’ list is out for Toys ‘R’ Us and only one console is on it, the Nintendo Wii....

Mmm. Candy. In the shape of Nintendo characters! To eat or not to eat, that is the question. Any other day of the week I’d devour these tasty treats provided to us by Infendo reader ryro, but not today. Today I’m still recovering from seeing that poor, butchered nunchaku I posted pics of earlier.

I was already reeling this morning due to some bad Mexican food from my local Margaritas restaurant, but these pics from Ruliweb put me over the edge and into the office restroom down for the count faster than a stock boy taking down unsold UMD movies at a Best Buy. My apologies for sharing, but when you view the photos below of a dissected Wiimote nunchuck attachment, you might be reaching for th...

If you only read one business article on Nintendo this year, read this one. Author Geoff Gannon sets the record straight and has put together one of the best financial studies of Nintendo from an investor perspective that I’ve ever read, and it’s got sales numbers to boot. Interesting to note that while Nintendo’s hardware market share has been declining for more than a decade, g...

Flickr user minusbaby has some sweet pics of his Famicom DJ setup. Not sure how he pitch shifts the music for seamless mixing, but it looks rockin’ none-the-less.

Confession: Scott wasn’t really sick this week. He and I were at a Wal-Mart, armed with some contraband Wiimotes, where we proceeded to swing them wildly about like some kind of wickedly stylish weapon at shoppers in the electronics department. It was a massacre. The ESRB gave us both an AO rating and Wal-Mart thus banned both us and Wii demo kiosks from their stores forever. Ok, so Scott wa...

Our regular emcee came down with the flu this week, so show #27 is Scott-less. To fill the void, I share the digital airwaves with Infendo contributor, Dale. Listen in as we discuss this week’s poll, Wii ambassador parties, Nintendo’s online marketing efforts, Two Cents in 60 Seconds with Fesworks, and listener calls. Though it comes off a bit amateurish, the show covers some solid dis...
