Man, Sony really wants Wii to do well this holiday season. In an interview with Gamespot, SCEA president Kaz Hirai stated that Sony hasn’t even started manufacturing the PS3 yet and that shortages are inevitable. Remember the shortages Sony had after the Playstation 2 launched? Apparently, Sony doesn’t. In comparison, reports of Nintendo manufacturing Wii units started back in June. A ...

Speaking to U.K.-based GameIndustry.biz, V.P. and chief operating officer of EA’s worldwide studios David Gardner said he “heard that in Japan the price of the Wii will be $170.” No kidding. I “heard” that it was too, especially since I read the post Blake wrote about that very same price point earlier this month here on Infendo. While this is indeed an interesting de...

If you’ve never traveled the depths of the internet to Wikipedia’s GameCube entry, you really should for an insightful read and a reminder of what was for the purple little box. From the article: “Despite Nintendo’s efforts, the GameCube was not very successful in recapturing the massive market share held by earlier Nintendo consoles… As of the end of June 30, 2006, N...

The other news is that GameCube games from times past could be getting a control scheme update to complement the free motion control of th...

For the better part of the 1990’s, the Sega Genesis and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System battled it out for the hearts and minds of gamers across the globe. Their respective mascots, Sonic the Hedgehog and Mario the plumber, featured prominently in that battle, but it would be a stretch to say that either of the two ever got into any real life face-to-face, hand-to-hand combat. Video ...

Slick looking and promising Ninty fansite, Nintendo|Life, has a nice little interview with the Wii Opera browsing team.

Whether plug-ins such as Flash will be supported in Opera on Wii has not yet been announced.” How exc...

Every Infendo fan knows Nintendo makes great games. No doubt you have The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and Wii Sports on your launch game wish list. You await eagerly for Super Mario Galaxy and Animal Crossing. However, if you don’t have at least a few third party games planned for your Wii, you need a wake up call. This is it. Truth be told, while Link an...

Looking to the DS, for every Trauma Center there is Mario Kart DS, Advance Wars, Animal Crossing and Metroid that sell millions. As of July 24, more than 21 million DS titles had been sold (yes, I said sold, Sony, not shipped), and of those 21 million, a majority were first party. NSMB alone sells clo...
