Just in time for the launch of yet another Wii-Fi enabled title, Star Fox Command, Nintendo told us today that the two millionth unique subscriber has signed onto the service. No word was given on where that subscriber was located, so I’ll just have to keep this $1,000 Infendo prize check for myself. In all seriousness though, this is a pretty important milestone for Nintendo, especially sin...

A couple of quick Wii-related news bites worth mentioning this morning: Ubisoft has confirmed that Rayman Wii will have temporary exclusivity until May 2007. The studio has confirmed that the Wii version of the game is it’s main focus, with ports only being developed when the Wii version has been completed. Rayman Raving Rabbids launches alongside the Wii later this year. In my opinion the W...

As I was digging through Joystiq’s trash this morning as I am wont to do in my Monday morning daze, I discovered more Nintendo Wii-related news from Go Nintendo. As the Sept. 14 “special event” date draws near, I imagine that these types of things will become more and more regular as everyone and their dog clamors to be the guy or gal who breaks the big story, thus guaranteeing m...

Nintendo officials have admitted time and time again that mistakes were made with the GameCube. Whether it was the lack of a steady stream of games, minimal third party support, or poor marketing, the GameCube certainly had its flaws. Apparently, Nintendo knows the mantra about those not learning from their past being destined to repeat it, as it appears determined to right many of the GameCube...

Ravenous wolves (Read: Nintendo fans) have been scouring the Internet the past couple days for any morsel of news they can sink their teeth into. It has left many fans wondering just when Nintendo will reveal the remaining cards in their hand? Only a few “anonymous cousins of Nintendo janitors” have been able to quench our desire to find out the truth. However, Matt Casamassina from IG...

One sentence of an IGN preview of Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam has the haters all in a frothy tizzy of anti-Wii sentiment today. The sentence? “Gamers hoping for an online component, however, are in for bad news, because one isn’t planned. Activision would not say why, but IGN has separately learned from multiple development sources that Nintendo will not release Wii Wi-Fi Connection...

Another Wii-only title is getting some love in Leipzig. This time it’s Konami’s as of yet unnamed game featuring those strange little bundles of energy, the Elebits. We’ve already heard a few tidbits about these Elebits in the past, mainly that the world is an interactive one where you sneak up on the energy-dealing creatures or scare them out into the open, but the “new...

He proudly displayed his mom’s hard work on his blog, while his brother shared his jealously with Kotaku, claiming the gift proves his mother lov...

When it was revealed that one of the most promising 3rd party Wii launch titles, Rayman, was going to be a pseudo-party game and not a platformer, I freely admit that I kind of lost heart. The screenshots were gorgeous, and I unfairly assumed that this title was going to be a platformer with some Wii-exclusive goodies thrown in. But then the rumors started, and then became fact: Rayman was a party...

Hold onto your hats Infendo, apparently the Wii price was revealed today to Reuters. Oh wait, no it wasn’t. All that happened was a few hundred blogs of much lower ilk than Infendo jumped the gun and started posting entries with the wildly inaccurate and misleading headline “Nintendo reveals Wii price.” It’s days like this where I really hate the rumor mill. I want to kick ...
