Eurogamer recently had the chance to speak with the man of the hour, Jim Merrick, on several subjects. These are the most notable parts: While suspected, Revolution is not the final name, the company is still throwing other names around. Kojima is indeed working on Revolution. We can expect many playable games at E3, including ones that use the remote, nunchuk, or the shell add-on. It’s up t...

I’m certain everyone here knows what Epic VP Mark Rein had to say at the IGN Live event from a while back. Now, the Nintendo hype man himself, Jim Merrick of NoE responded to Mr Rein’s harsh comments. Here’s what the man had to say: “Mark has a very narrow section of the business. Epic builds middleware, they’re very technically savvy guys, but he doesn’t have a...

From Kotaku: “The Nintendo Micro GBA made Toys R Us’ 2005 holiday gift trend list. The Micro was actually the only gaming system or video game to catch the toy store’s attention as part of a 2005 trend.” Great news for the Micro. Now how about some sales figures and a holiday price drop? ‘Tis the season…[Source: Kotaku]

Be sure to check out the past (128) Infendo comments made while my schaef self accidentally had comment moderation on. There’s some really good postings that are now up from last Saturday starting with: Revolution Name Coming Soon? so that should keep you fine readers occupied for quite a while. Infendo without comments is like Oreos without milk. Not good. Thanks to all those for solving th...

[Update: Boy do I feel like a horse’s petute. I accidentally had comment moderation on. There is no more “stinkin” moderation now so have at it. Heck, let’s increase comments by 50%!!! Sorry about that. Houston, we’re a go…”] Hopefully slow news is to blame for the sudden drop in comments, or maybe my writing is just getting worse. Regardless, check out th...

As if you needed any more Apple/Nintendo comparisons, the Micro meets the Powerbook. The resemblence is uncanny but is that a blog running on the Micro?

As if Iwata’s, Miaymoto’s, and Reggie’s confirmations weren’t enough, Nintendo of Europe has officially gone on record to dismiss rumors that Zelda: Twilight Princess will be a Revolution title. Nintendo’s UK PR manager said: “Nintendo has always said [the game] will appear on the GameCube and this is still very much the case.” Could the continued existenc...

Nintendo will give away a TV remote identical to the new Revolution controller to platinum Club Nintendo members (Japan only). The next best thing to the real deal will be delivered some time next year to the lucky few. But which TV’s will it work on? [Source: IGN]

Though I normally buy games online, every now and then I’ll peruse the local mall and drop in EB Games for a rare deal. This weekend, that deal was the classic, but not so good Zelda II for the GBA. It was a cool $8. I swiped it up and took it to the counter. Being that the game was used, the clerk tried to sell me $1 dollar insurance on the game. What? I asked, “Does the game work now...

Gamespot gets their hands on Mario Tennis: Power Tour for the GBA. They give the game good marks so be on the lookout when it drops on December 5. Only one question though, will you buy this or Top Spin 2 for your GBA tennis fix?[Source: Gamespot]

While we know which one revolutionized gaming, which plumber do you reach for the most when playing Mario Party or Mario Sports? Mario or Luigi?
