Japan’s latest Famitsu Weekly showcased another developer roundtable for the Revolution controller. In it, Killer 7 producer, Gouichi Suda (or Suda 51) confirmed that his Grasshopper team is finalizing plans for an original Revolution exclusive. He didn’t spill any beans, but did say that it would be very extreme. It was also reported that “the game will focus heavily on direct i...

The GameCube is the only console, to my knowledge, that features easter eggs. I recently came across these again having not used ’em since the first night I fired up my Cube some five years ago (more to come on that experience). While they’re like the Contra code of old for most Cubites, take a trip down memory lane or try ’em for the first time: Children Laughing – Hold th...

Yikes! Total votes were cut in half this week. I guess I better get on the ball with a more creative survey. Well the Action/Adventure genre wins this one. That goes without saying ’cause friend of adventure equals friend of Nintendo. But alas, they’re all good eh? Thanks for “placing your bets” and let us know this week which Nintendo system you like best.

I’ve recently been making good use of my DS headphone jack and have been blown away by the whole experience. This just might be the first time I’ve ever played a video game with headphones since I never bought the SP headphone adapter. Could stereo still be this good with all the existing surround sound formats? My ears are living proof that it is. Any other stereo or headphone gamers ...

[Update: Confirmed as a hoax. We should have held off on this one.] GameHelix, a video game news toolbar available for download is stating they’re received exclusive information directly from Nintendo regarding the Revolution’s launch. They claim it will drop next May, worldwide and will include “one last secret” that “will be shown to the world at E3” this appa...

Ranked 14th on 1up’s all-time top games for the NES, Duck Hunt makes its appearance on the walls of some random building. Ready. Aim. Fire.

In lieu of the excellent, albeit, short World Series between the winning ChiSox and Astros, what is the best baseball game of all time? Bases Loaded? Baseball Stars? All-Star Baseball? Ken Griffey Jr Presents? You make the call…

[NOTE: The following post is merely an attempt to study Nintendo’s two biggest competitors. No potshots were intended as all three systems have an uphill battle to wage in the coming year.] Business 2.0’s latest November issue has an excellent article on Nintendo’s two biggest competitors, Microsoft and Sony. The piece mainly focuses on Microsoft’s Peter Moore and his strat...

Infendo’s own Chris (FireEmblem54) was recently chosen to participate in a select Nintendogs study conducted by the Big N. All the basic questions were found, but the survey also contained the following: “Would you be interested in new versions/expansions to Nintendogs?” Listed options included “new contests, new items, new breeds, and new types of animals.” We’...

Hey Infendo readers, here’s a question for you: What game(s) are you currently playing? Put it in the comments. Thanks. [by Rollin]

I usually don’t link to threads but Slashdot, the lovely tech/developer haven, has a good one going about the 20 years of NES games. Most in favor, some against, but many comments none-the-less. Thread Me. [Source: Slashdot]

Though I can appreciate a good Unreal Tournament session, it looks like Epic Games VP Mark Reign wanted some free publicity and I resentfully give it to him via this post. In a recent remark about Nintendo’s Revolution, the exec said ”[Nintendo fans are in for] the most crappy, cheap, I-wish-I-hadn’t-bought-it gimmicks ever.” I believe many said the same thing about the DS, no? ...
