Page 836 – Infendo: Nintendo News, Review, Blog, and Podcast

[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.

This video is simply amazing! Being the okay guitarist that I am, I must say this guy is very talented. And I just love the hair.

Since starting Infendo, we’ve paid a lot of attention to the GameCube, Revolution speculation, and a little GBA love. What about the DS though? Having played the thing, I must say it is pretty cool. That said, I’m a little unsure what to think of it. I have a good friend that has been a Nintendophile his whole life, and bought one the day it came out. Sadly to say, he has recently sold...

We’re hoping to have a guest contributor (Vince) do a little reconnaissance for Infendo while making his rounds at E3. We’re interested to know first hand how Nintendo’s booth stacks up against Microsoft’s, Sony’s, and the other major software publishers. How was it? What impressed you the most? What left you wanting more? Did they achieve their E3 Goal? Maybe we need...

Alright, you guys have probably already seen this, but dang that’s a good take on some creative gaming. The audio and overall presentation are a lil cheesy, but whoever did this put a lot of effort and thinking behind it. Nintendo On? I really hope they stick with Revolution. It’s a solid name. Not too fancy, just right. Podcast: Play in new window | Download (13.8KB)Subscribe: Google ...

Apparently, the new Legend of Zelda has gotten a full name. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is what many a bloggers are reporting. This makes sense given the last frame of the most recent Game Developer Conference trailer with the wolf hauling at the moon. Only a little more longer until we find out about the goodness that is Zelda. (Man that series is too good!) In other news, apparently the V...

This is the next generation for Xbox? It looks more like a step backwards if you ask me (not that you did). Is that really a next generation controller? Big risk takers, eh Microsoft? Great, so the graphics are awesome, and… I used to get pumped about new graphics when like the genesis came out or the playstation. This is just getting redundant. I truly hope the Revolution is just that. A re...
