This evening Infendo readers Vincent and Will combed the fine print of Camp Hyrule, Nintendo’s online summer camp, and discovered what many of us already believed to be true: That the Wii will not exceed $250. “For Camp Hyrule, one winner will be randomly selected to win a free Wii. In the description (aka small print) it said: 1) Wii video game system. Approximate retail value of the ...

Trolling the information super highway today for anything Nintendo noteworthy has proven difficult. Was it this slow on August 9 of last year? Enter a shameless self-plug of what we were discussing exactly one year ago: Perrin Kaplan on Wi-Fi Commercial The Dynamics of Game Development Preview: Gunstar Super Heroes (GBA) Top 25 GameCube Games How has your outlook of the Nintendo landscape changed ...

Our corporate gaming overlords over at IGN have published a top ten list of RPG theme songs, and The Legend of Zelda has taken the top spot. “Though not considered to be a traditional turn-based RPG, Zelda fans none-the-less are rabidly crazy about the “Zelda” title track, which has been ingrained in our childhood memories ever since its emergence back in 1987. Composed by musica...

Atlus USA, maker of sleeper hit Trauma Center: Under the Knife for the DS, has confirmed that Trauma Center: Second Opinion for the Wii will be a launch title. If there’s one thing I like more than confirmed launch titles it’s confirmed launch titles that can only be played on the Wii. From Gamasutra: “Trauma Center: Second Opinion will feature new graphics and animation, new sur...

IGN Wii posted an article with a collection of rumors surfacing on the Internet. Apparently one rumor is based on a mystery source stating that IBM is working on reducing the size of the Wii’s Broadway CPU for use in a “future Nintendo handheld– presumably one that plays Gamecube disks.” Shortly thereafter, the rumor was removed from the article. The idea of a Gamecube hand...

Flickr: This picture is hilarious. Notice how much light the DS emits. And the sun glasses are a nice touch to the shot. Reminds me of that old ad with a dude sitting in front of a sound system getting blown away by the implied music.

How do you stay on top of your video game news addiction? What are some of your favorite sites? Let you voice be heard on our new poll, and in the case of site aggregators (i.e. Digg, Google News, Topix, etc) just put other, though they probably should’ve been options since that’s Infendo’s primary choice of fresh content. What other gaming sites do you visit? Joystiq Kotaku 4cr ...

Next-Gen has compiled a list of the 50 top-selling portable games, and the winner isn’t Mario. From the article: “Even Mario’s success pales in comparison to Pokemon ”“ combined the franchise is precariously close to ten million units sold, equaling well over $300 million in revenue ”“and that’s just on Game Boy Advance. They are very well made games full of charm and inter...

I’ve played a game featuring Jumpman — I mean Mario — every year since 1986. Whether it was the classic Original (not the dual Duck Hunt/Super Mario Bros., the single game one), Dr. Mario, or seeing him bash Captain Falcon in Super Smash Bros. Melee, I’ve really never not liked Mario — or his quieter, high jumping brother Luigi for that matter. It’s pretty amazi...

re: Controller patent lawsuit against Nintendo and Microsoft Dear Anascape and Mr. Armstrong, Please stop trying to ruin our fun. We all realize that this current generation of gaming consoles represents a large sum of money, but the Jerry Springer era of kneejerk lawsuits and frivilous litigation is so over (that was an overly dramatic “so” meant to demean you). Please cease and desis...

Very misleading. I can’t invite you to the Leipzig conference anymore so that I can push out eggs, Yoshi-style, that contain shiny brand new Wii consoles. But what I can do is produce the translated Wii event press invitation that IGN got for being a big and powerful corporate web site: 8/23/06 Games Convention / Messe Leipzig 10:15, Nintendo Booth, Hall 5, F01 Be there when a new chapter is...

According to Lamatel, the Latin American distributor for Nintendo, the Wii will be released in Brazil the first week of December at a price of about $650 ($1,500 Reais). Zelda: Twilight Princess was confirmed as the only launch title. But don’t expected translated manuals and technical support, meus amigos. Any Brazilian readers out there with some thoughts? Will you be buying the first week...
