Infendo

I don’t know if you guys caught onto this one today, but I thought it was really clever how Nintendo marketed to the software publishers by saying that Revolution will be the cheapest and easiest platform to develop for. Game publishers are getting to be very big business (think EA). Even baby-boomer investors know who big game companies are. Cheaper development means bigger profits. Bigger ...

Do you really care what’s under your console’s “hood?” I remember a time before P3’s and P4’s ruled the computer earth when you really cared what your processor could do. Man, I could tell you how many gigflops my mug could spit out. Now-a-days, I could care less how many gigs my processor has. I’m not even sure what it is, 2. something. Just give me some ...

While busy at work today, I made sure to keep updating Infendo with the best of the best. Now that I have the chance to take it all in, here’s my take on Nintendo’s performance today. Revolution – while it’s great you made a prototype appearance, I really wish i could have seen more. I kinda felt like you were pulling a DS unveiling like last year, and I’m still not s...

Launch a redesign (micro) of an already great portable system (advance SP) right on the heals of your competitor’s far more powerful system release (PSP). This was a gutsy and very tactful move by Nintendo. Chutzpah! Have you seen the blogs and media outlets today? They are all talking about the GameBoy micro (you’d think the thing was an iPod mini or something). Gadget geeks already w...

More goodness that is Zelda. This game is gonna be some good loving. It is just such a good game (at least the series always has been). Always well done. For those wanting to download the new video, it’s here: E3 Trailer (right click & save as). I’m anxious to see how it plays. Penny for your thoughts?

Apparently, the revolution pic’s are official prototypes, not the final design. Man, i was getting worried. Engadget is reporting that Nintendo wants to solicit feedback for the new design though. Let’s get to work through thoughtful commenting.

[UPDATED PICS]The press is stating that the big N also announced the release of a “gameboy micro.” How bout something more powerful? Maybe soon, but hopefully we can get some pics today. That is if they decide to release some.

Here she is in all her glory. Can’t wait to see some more. I’m not quite sure if I’m feeling this though. How bout you guys? Based off my first impression, I think the PS3 came out the best based purley on aesthetics. I don’t know though. Hopefully we can see those fancy smancy controllers soon. PS – I don’t buy N’s marketing ploy that they don’t wan...

Surprisingly nice. Much, much better than the 360’s rank design. Let’s hope Nintendo makes a show this week though (as I knock on wood). Has anyone but me noticed that PS has used the same controller since ’95? I guess that will be around fifteen years by the time this generation is up. (I know this is a Nintendo blog, but you gotta cover your competitors to keep moving forward.)

The spectacle and fury of E3 is poised to pop like some giant electronic zit in a mere 48 hours. The rumors are flying. Will Nintendo be announcing a new Game Boy? How much information will be available about the GameCube successor? What is Mario really wearing under those overalls? This year’s show promises to be the best in recent years thanks to a glut of new products for consoles, handhe...

Our computing buddies at News.com are reporting that Nintendo’s 2006 next gen entrance will hurt the companies attempt to regain it’s ground. Hasn’t Nintendo always been a second moving with the exception of NES? If the Revolution is to be what it’s title suggest, maybe they should have tried to be the first mover, hence re-revolutionizing the home console industry. Your th...

Reporting from Joystiq, apparently there might have been some Revolution logos that got leaked. They seem okay, but we are in the era of great photoshop skills, so it’s anyone’s guess as to their validity.
