I am insanely jealous right now. Southern California resident Tracey Clark, a photographer, blogger and mother of two, was selected by Nintendo as one of the first Wii Ambassadors, and had her Wii Party on Sept. 17. The proof is in our post below, as well as in her blog entry that readers have linked to in the comments section. Her comments, however, were so cool that I decided to post. “So,...

What the deuce are these?! Viral campaign? The Wii parties mentioned last month starting early? A few Wii’s fell off the back of a truck? Is that level 4-1 in the background?! Anyone who can shed some light on these photos please stand up. Check the link below for more pics from this “Nintendo Party.” [Thanks, MisterInvisible] UPDATE: Mom blogger [Picture This] is one of the firs...

I may reside in the U.S.A., but I’ll dish out plenty of good Nintendo related news to our cousins oversees if and when it comes along. Today, my Old World friends, is one of those days filled with European love from the Big N. Via GameIndustry.biz, that business-y pub based in the U.K., we hear that Nintendo UK general manager David Yarnton has promised Europe more stock for Wii this holiday...

The heading of this post has been murmured by Infendo forum members and Wii fanboys countless times, I’m sure, but today it was given some additional clout by Hirokazu Hamamura, the editor-in-chief of Japanese video game supermag Famitsu. “Wii definitely could become the most popular console of all time. Non-gamers can see how fun it is just by looking at people playing it, and that...

Looks like Mario and a new bearded friend have started a painting outfit. Koopas in pipes bug.

Go Nintendo has revealed some new details on Resident Evil Wii, or Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles as it’s now known. Keep these in your rumor file because they came from the Capcom forums, though Go Nintendo swears they confirmed them. The game is split up into chapters similar to Outbreak, though hopefully the similarities end there since many RE fans and reviewers found that game to be...

Kotaku gave me the heads up to this rad Super Mario wedding cake on Flickr. The Flickr description says it’s all edible except for the plastic Mario and Princess at the top, but parts look questionable to me. Geek weddings are the greatest. I’m sure I’m only a Google search away from a wedding where the bride and groom dressed like Mario and Peach. Too bad I didn’t think of...

When Nintendo unveiled the Wii Channel component of the Wii, it was yet another enigmatic piece of the overall puzzle, in my opinion. Price and date had been set, and yet we had this new online feature that would allow us to see the weather, use a comment board, and create Mii likenesses of ourselves for play in Wii Sports, et al. But there is still much to be learned about this feature, and I thi...

This non-Wii, non-console battle, non-price related Super Mario 3 goodness from newly launched animation site BitFlicks was soaked up by my beleagured brain like water into a sponge. Check out the link below to see the movie, which employs a mix of LEGO, stop motion animation and CGI, according to the site. Only quirk was that the designer obviously didn’t know the old run and jump diagonall...

Via the comment section from Infendo reader and pre-order ninja in the field funkonaut: “The clerk said that “there’s a rumor going around the Internet” that we’re only getting 100-300 units. He said that’s false; they’re getting several thousand. As it stands now, if you preorder anytime soon you’re guaranteed one on launch day. If you miss out, you...

The Wii pre-order situaiton is still hazy at best, with places like Lik-Sang touting sketchy no money down pre-orders since early September and the Nintendo World Store NYC having “100 to 300” pre-order slots available for those gamers lucky enough to get there in person to snatch them up. Today, we can add another to the pile as Amazon opened a small window for Wii pre-orders on Frida...

Live in the New York area? Don’t live in the New York area but want your shot at one of the first legitimate pre-order offers to hit the street? Then, by all means, go to New York City! Engadget is reporting that the Nintendo World Store in Manhattan is taking preorders for $50 a piece. There are roughy 100-300 slots total, but that was as of Saturday night and the store has been taking the ...
