Infendo Radio Show 5

Share your perspective. Keep it thoughtful, welcoming and on topic.

1. Woah! I totally forgot it was Saturday..man am I losing grip on the days. Can't wait to hear the show guys. Keep it up.

2. Quick! Shinn! Go get Brain Age and do some training!!

3. I already did my brain training today! But I found out something after listening to the podcast. I started at Brain Age 57 and am now 32 after a dew days.

4. Yeah!!!I will listen to this MP3 on my DS with my new M3 Adapter!!Also, my best brain age is 20!!, and I have not cheated.

5. The Balloon game in question was Balloon Fight, BTW. I always thought it came out before Joust though.

6. Brain Age is really fun. I recommend it for everyone. Come on, $20 is a great price.Also, I hear there's a second one in development. I bet that means we'll see it about this time next year(or if we're luck, sooner).

7. Regarding Virtual Console, I have to agree with the 99 cent pricing idea. It's unlikely, but it would be a hell of a selling point. Even $1.99 wouldn't be bad (based on the idea that TV shows and music videos are $1.99 on iTunes). Animal Crossing had Balloon Fight as one of the classic NES games available and I have to say I've only played it once or twice, so they need to keep Virtual Console titles cheap for the impulse buys.

8. What if you could trade games with other folks? That'd be nice.

9. Great idea with the 99 cents. A lot of people are probably thinking that especially those of us who use itunes, but I'm not sure how realistic it is. They might go for it with the NES titles, though I think N64 games will be more.You may be missing the point on the sensor in the analog stick. I don't see it as something you will be swinging around as wildly as the controller itself, but more angling it slightly to change the viewpoint while you hack and slash with the other hand. This may be the answer to your question "Why no Bluetooth for the analog stick?"

10. It looks like a demo world. A level built to check and see how mario would work kind of like the demo water level still hidden in the code of the original mario brothers. I am gonna guess there is either a cookie that will get you there some how or a error in the code that leads you there like in original SMB. I'm leaning tward cookie.

11. yes, but it would be interesting to do this. especially what was done in the second link provided…

12. Here's another rumor I would like Infendo to comment on a post or on Infendo Radio: the one about the Revolution not supporting High-Definition video. If the GameCube supports it, why wouldn't the Revolution too?

13. Once again, great show. This is BAR NONE my favorite Nintendo podcast. You keep to the topics, you have fun, you keep me interested… great stuff, guys. Keep it up.

14. InvisibleMan, The Gamecube doesn't support hi-def. It supports progressive scan (480 p). The Revolution will support 480p as well. It's been stated that it will also plug directly into any standard VGA monitor for 480p, since there are still many people who do not own sets capable of displaying 480p.

15. Wait a minute!!So what exactly IS Hi-def, then??I thought progressive scan alone implied Hi-def…

16. (The GameCube games graphics look GORGEOUS, by the way, in my new HD TV set when I turn on progressive scan through component video, by the way… I was pleasantly surprised by the difference!)

17. OK, Black Adonis, I checked Wikipedia, and you are correct, partially: 480p is NOT hi-def (HD). It is, however, Enhanced def (ED). Standard def (SD), what we usually see in regular TV, is 480i ("i" being "interlaced video", while "p" stands for "progressive scan video").Both GameCube games and most Xbox games have Enhanced definition mode, 480p. I also saw a note in the Nintendo site that said Nintendo discontinued installing the component video output port on the GameCube because less than 1% of owners used it! Unbelievable!! I am the lucky owner of a pre-2004 GameCube…

18. Blake, You and Scott's jokes were ON in this podcast. And by "ON" I mean corny and horrible 😉 They elicited quite a few groans in the office and maybe even a few "I can't believe he said that" laughs. Thanks for keeping us informed and entertained. We are all eagerly awaiting E3 reports.

19. Cdubb (cough, cough Casey)I make no claims to being witty, so if I came off as corny, please let me have it (examples would help avoid the cornyness in the future). I have no pride.

20. Man, now I feel bad. I was just messing with you guys. I think the podcast is great. My whole office does. I was just practicing to be on MTV's "Yo Momma."
