Nintendo’s subtle E3 2010 megaton

I’m biased, of course, but Nintendo just “won” E3 with a relatively simple, games-focused keynote and in the process severely gimped poor Sony, which has to follow that oozing-with-game announcements presentation in a few minutes. Hands-down. Seriously, look at every tab on this page. Then look at the 3DS launch lineup. Staggering stuff. Almost un-Nintendo, if we go by last year&...

Wait…What’s Left?Looking Forward to E3

Before the dust settles after this morning’s press event, I am already thinking about E3.  With almost all of Nintendo’s loose ends tied up this morning, that leaves me thinking about what they didn’t tell us: the second half of the year.

Beyond the headlines: PS3 for the win in 2011

A report from the Yankee Group, a Boston-based research firm, has the PS3 “winning” the console war by 2011 with a total of 30 million units sold, followed by the 360 with 27 million units and the Wii trailing with 11 million units. Boo hoo. Looks like we lost the console war, fellow Infendo readers, I think we should close up the blog and start saving our $800 buy-in for the PS3. But ...

Super Smash Bros. will be a collaboration with Bandai Namco

Last year at E3 2011, Nintendo announced that a new Super Smash Bros. title would be coming to not only the Wii U, but the 3DS as well. We all know that series designer Masahiro Sakurai has been pivotal to the success of the franchise, he has after all been with the game since day one on the Nintendo 64. It was thought that his studio, Project Sora, would be the studio to helm the project now that...

An extremely too in depth analysis of tonights Nintendo Direct

As uneventful as tonight’s Nintendo Direct was, we did get some confirmation on some rumors and speculation, as well as some brand new information to boot. Ready to speculate on tons of information in lieu of Nintendo’s big event this Tuesday? Me too! Hit the jump for a play by play of tonight’s Nintendo Direct!

Heroes of Ruin drops in less than a month, have a gameplay trailer to help you wait it out [updated]

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vR9PkvfyH5g&hd=1[/youtube] Heroes of Ruin was one of the best games I saw last year for 3DS at E3 2011, and by the looks of it, it seems as if it will be one of 2012’s best games for the system. Drop in, drop out online multiplayer? Diablo-esque gameplay on a handheld? Thousands of equipment combinations to chose from? Check, check, check…sign me u...

Could this be the Wii U controller dock?

A Neogaf user recently posted a patent drawing that shows what appears to be a charging dock for the Wii U controller. Judging from the patent, the design would work in the same fashion as the Nintendo 3DS charging dock. In addition, the design of the Wii U controller looks unchanged from the version we were introduced to at E3 2011. No surprise, but Nintendo could easily make some alterations. So...

Heroes of Ruin can’t come to 3DS soon enough

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIK6mN6Sp0U[/youtube] I left E3 2011 with Heroes of Ruin as one of my most highly anticipated games of the show, and after watching the latest gameplay and story trailer for the game, my mouth is salivating just thinking about playing the game later this year. Just think, in just a few short months we will have a Diablo-like game available right on our handh...

Ten things Nintendo should do with Wii U

Nintendo is a company that has seen its fair share of good times and bad times in the recent decade, but things look to be on the up. 3DS is selling well of late, Wii U is on the horizon, and with plenty of games to look forward to on the 3DS and even Wii (ok, so maybe just few for Wii), this year is looking very strong for Nintendo fans. With confirmations from Sony and Microsoft that there would...

What to expect from Nintendo this year

2011 was one heck of a roller coaster ride for Nintendo fans, wouldn’t you say? After coming off what I still consider to be one of the top five games to be released on Wii in Donkey Kong Country Returns at then end of 2010, Wii owners were left with little to nothing new to play until the release of Skyward Sword. Sure there were titles to fill the void such as Conduit 2, de Blob 2, and Kir...

Death of the fanman: How Nintendo lost one of its most avid evangelists

Jack Loftus was one of the first contributors to Infendo. He began writing for the blog in 2006, a year after I founded it. Known for his wit, provocative writing, and unabashed subjectivity, Jack lovingly referred to himself as the “fanman.” When gamers prematurely wrote off the DS, and later Wii, Jack was quick to champion each platform and its maker. Over the last half decade, i...
