The Xbox 360 is a hardcore system in casual clothing
You have to hand it Microsoft. Even when they know that everyone knows they’re ripping off Nintendo as part of a campaign to sell their console to customers outside the male 12-25 demographic, they keep on keeping on. First it was avatars. Then, the bright, white advertising campaigns of moms and girls having fun playing… well, I haven’t quite figured out what games those actors ...
Why Apple App Store Will Force Nintendo’s Hand With a New DS
I just got finished reading Kotaku’s rather exhaustive list of the new iPhone games set to drop with the release of App Store, and I was left with one undeniable conclusion: Nintendo needs to update, upgrade or plain redesign the Nintendo DS, and soon.
Bizarro World: Super Nintendo Never Existed
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLm_cnb-Lu0[/youtube] You ever wondered what would have happened if the Super Nintendo was never made? Where games would be now without it? I was wondering that myself and somehow stumbled upon a Youtube video of a “Pirated” version of Super Mario World for the Nintendo Entertainment System, and this really got me thinking about where the world o...
Wii shortage no hype ploy, Nintendo says
The Wii Fit rush has apparently reinvigorated Wii shortages, but Nintendo has continued to stick to the company line that the shortages are not an intentional ploy to boost demand. Frankly, I never believed that a company as big, or as under the microscope as Nintendo, would be able or capable of pulling off such a sneaky feat. It took until today however to find the quote to sum that all up. Over...
Nintendo Spotting: Generic SNES edition
Infendo reader Dave writes: “I was at a book sale the other day and picked up The Macmillan Visual Dictionary, which is an amazing resource with picture references of anything you can think of. There is a section called ‘indoor games’ which includes a ‘Video Entertainment System.’ It’s actually the greatest console ever made by Nintendo, the Super NES! Too bad t...

Nintendo NES repairs are no more
There was a slight disturbance in the force today, as countless NES systems cried out simultaneously at the thought of never being able to access professional Nintendo-provided support ever again. For the past 24 years, Nintendo has provided repairs for the console that started it all, but this week a spokesman told Agence France Presse that the company has decided to end support due to increasing...
Nintendo’s perfect week
I think this week is a great opportunity to reflect on Nintendo’s future. There was the megaton press events in Japan and San Francisco that showed more new content than I think even the big media rags were prepared to see. There was the exhaustive list of third party titles that Nintendo fired off on Thursday to showcase the fact that yes, third parties had signed onto this Wii thing, and t...
The Legend of Zelda debuts on Nintendo DS
(Press release) ”“ Today’s launch of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for Nintendo DS marks the arrival of perhaps the deepest, richest story ever to appear on a hand-held video game system. The game requires players to fill up the Phantom Hourglass with sand and give themselves enough time to delve deeper and deeper into the ultimate dungeon. It has received critical praise both in th...
Future to publish Nintendo Power starting Oct.
As expected, Nintendo announced a new publisher for Nintendo Power today, Future US, the same company that operates Next-Gen.biz, Official Xbox Magazine, PC Gamer, PSM: Independent PlayStation Magazine, and Official Nintendo Magazine UK. No word if all the editors are getting canned, but the first new issue under Future’s direction goes on sale next month. The result largely ends up as a sec...
Nintendo’s New World
One day, in the very near future I think, we may well all be privy to the land that Infendo contributor Malstrom now inhabits. I’d like to think that I have purchased the ticket, but have not yet stepped foot on the ship. Many of you who have read these epic articles might consider yourselves in that same boat, pardon the pun. In this the penultimate article to Malstrom’s recent series...
Nintendo and the rising continent
Malstrom is at it again. Today he’s delivered us a series of new (and lengthy!) articles about gaming, Nintendo and the future of the industry as a whole. I think with the outrageous success currently being enjoyed by the Wii and its software (you know, the software that ignoramuses say doesn’t exist yet) this is an especially timely delivery. On a personal note, the reason I enjoy the...
