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…...

For some reason, I’ve obtained a reputation amongst the Infendo staff as being somewhat of a “Sony hater.” I suppose that’s because it’s utterly, completely, 100% accurate. So, it was with some degree of satisfation that I posted this stock market chart that was sent to us by Infendo reader Awol. Please note that the big divergence between the stock prices of Sony and...

Sure, your local game store employees can be annoying, but at least they tend to avoid dressing like fairy-obssesed Rupee hunters. This employee of a Japanese retailer went the extra mile to get customers to purchase Tingle’s new RPG. Why share this? Because if I had to be disturbed by it, so do you.

Several gaming sites are reporting that Nintendo is adding MP3 functionality to the DS and DS Lite next month. The info comes from an alleged scanned brochure from the Leipzig Games Convention in Germany, which says the add-on will allow the DS to store and play music through SD cards up to 2GB, which holds around 500 tracks. The brochure also says there is a choice of different skins, including a...

Happy Labor Day to all our US readers out there. What games are you currently playing?

Infendo Radio #24 is live like a mug, hot, and toasty! Listen in as we discuss the Wii launch date and price, Star Fox Command for DS, Nintendo selling Rare, Twilight Princess information, gun peripherals for Wii, and our discussion on what will Nintendo do sans Miyamoto. Add all that with a new edition to our intro courtesy of Scott Fletcher, and this makes for one of my all-time favorite shows. ...

Admittedly, there was some legitimate concern raised when it was disclosed that the 3rd party software companies might not be receiving online kits from Nintendo until 2007. Theoretically, this meant that for the Wii launch and for at least three months afterwards, no 3rd party Wii title — like Red Steel — would have online play. But this was always a rumor, pushed by IGN using unnamed...
