Many analysts and video gamers believe that Playstation 3 sales will be slow for a year or two, but everyone will inevitably buy one. Thus, Sony will again dominate. However, pubishers and developers are not that patient, nor am I convinced conumers are either. Nintendo has promised 6 million consoles shipped by around March 2007. Meanwhile, Sony is currently expected to ship just 1/4 of that numb...

When you’re playing Spore on the Wii sometime next year in the spring and you just HAVE to finish up whatever the heck you’re doing with your custom creation, just upload it to your DS and take it with you. Oh, I guess I’m doing this out of order: Spore for the Wii has been confirmed, and you will be able to wireless link the game between the DS and the Wii. “Deform your sp...

Let your mind wander for a moment. Start imagining wildly unrealistic scenarios that could only happen in your wildest dreams. Like being the king of Nintendo for a day. What would you do? Where would you go? What secrets would you immediately grant yourself access to? Some Infendo Forum members were debating that very topic this morning, so let’s take a look. “I would start some bette...

Aside from that sketchy cameo on Captain N, Simon Belmont has been video game gold in the Castlevania series. This goes for all the other Belmonts who have made appearances throughout the years as well, but unfortunately after E3 it appeared as though the Wii was not something Koji Igarashi, the producer of the series, believed was the type of system he would want to develop for. However, in recen...

Is Nintendo ditching Super Paper Mario on the GameCube in favor of a Wii-only version? Looks like it from what self-proclaimed Nintendo expert and mailbag answering extraordinaire Matt Casamassina from IGN says: “Let me just say that yes, Paper Mario will be headed to Wii and not GameCube.” Fine. We can play the game on Wii. But I’ve just never been “at peace” with ho...

Nintendo has made an official statement regarding the PS3 Euro delay and mass launch shortages: “Wii is on track to ship in Q4, Nintendo plans to ship 6 million systems to retailers around the world between its launch in the fourth quarter of 2006 and the end of its fiscal year on March 31, 2007.”

Ahhh. What a glorious day this is. The air is crisp, the birds are chirping, and once again Sony has proven itself to be the arrogant electronics behemoth that it is. But before I go off on a Sony tangent again, this is a Nintendo blog, and in my opinion Sept. 14 just became the biggest day in Nintendo history next to the eventual launch day of the Wii console. Why? Because as it stands now, Ninte...

Below are the top 10 best looking GameCube games according to Advanced Media Network. I’m sorry, but Capcom’s lovely RE4 takes the cake on my list, though Wind Waker probably has the most stylistic graphics on the Cube. What games would you put on your list? 10) Viewtiful Joe9) Pikmin 28) F-Zero GX7) Resident Evil Remake6) Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike5) Star Fox Adventure...

[Updated deadline: Friday, 9/8/2006 at midnight EDT] As some of you may know, Infendo is getting a rebuild and a redesign prior to the launch of Wii this fall. Help us design it, and we’ll send you a slick Wii bag given out at this year’s E3 with a game or two just for good measure (think of it as a grab bag). Here are some basic requirements: Site will stay red and white (ohh thatR...

A little DS Lite/Mario Kart break while rock climbing. (Snarky comment here.)

Not really a games-related post persay, but in line with the excellent stock chart sent to us by Awol, we learn today that Nintendo has hit a six-year high as anticipation for the Wii grows and grows. This is probably the last stock-related post in a long while to grace the pages of Infendo, but it was more great news that I thought I’d share regardless. Oh, and let me check something…...
