Geometry Wars commercial is musically inclined
I know this game technically came out first for the Xbox Live Arcade, but this commercial was too quirky to pass up. Made me think of the cartoon rendition as performed by the Tiny Toons. And besides, it’s a solid game regardless of where you can find it. [Found via 4cr, who asked if this was the best commercial ever. Maybe, 4cr, maybe indeed.]
Movie Review – The King Of Kong
Infendo Newsletter editor, Chris, reviews the recent documentary The King Of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters I live in a fairly unknown town in the Midwest. When a movie, such as The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, gets such a limited release, it would probably not be showing anywhere near my town. So surprised I was to find that for one weekend only, a theater nearby would be showing this movie....
Reggie promises streaming flow of Wii; WiiFit now $99
Nintendo of America’s Reggie Fils-Aime is promising a Wii inventory stream of Flomax proportions this winter to coincide with the holiday season. With every analyst and industry watcher predicting that this holiday will be a megaton event for the entire video games industry in terms of sales, I hope he’s right. System sellers like Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Mario Galaxy are sure to st...
Best Smash Bros. character to never make the cut
We may have done this before on Infendo, but I don’t care. I’m old and crusty. I lack teeth. I watch Matlock reruns. I fart dust. I use words like etcetera in everyday nomenclature, which totally defeats the point if you know what that word means. Etc. And I forget things and feel entitled not to look them up in our search field. Anyway, which character do you think has no chance of be...
Wii versus the world, analogy style
Joystiq is having some fun with George Harrison’s recent interview about the console wars, in which he invokes cars to make the whole war thing easier to understand. It’s not the first time this has happened. Sony was also caught making similar references with food and restaurants in a GamePro interview. We all know how that turned out. In an interview with The Motley Fool, Harrison co...
Washing the hardcore away
If this were December, and not the still rather toasty month of September, I’d say you should curl up with a nice cup of cocoa and enjoy this latest epic novella from Infendo resident savant Malstrom by a crackling fire of burning Lair discs and instruction manuals. But it’s not. But read it anyway. Every last word. It’s an epic piece on hardcore gamers (and much, much more), and...
No Wii development = obvious hole in your business strategy
Valve’s Gabe Newell takes a question from Game Informer about the PS3 and just blatantly starts talking about the Wii instead. Lovely. GI: Do you think from now on you’ll keep outsourcing PS3 projects [ed: Orange Box for PS3 is being done by EA], or will you start bringing those projects in house? Newell: I think we’ll bring them in house more for licensees issues than our own. J...
Infendo seeking a few good ninja volunteers
During this the last week of summer, Infendo would like to gear up for the increased game coverage expected during the busy fall and winter months (read: there is a lot going on, and we’d like your help). If you or someone you know would like to contribute on a volunteer basis (though the publisher has been known to send free games and other goodies to standout contributors) in one/many of t...
Wii Internet system update — who cares?
It could have just been my Wii, through chance or some weird defect that barred it from receiving the full firmware update from last week, but tonight as I prepared for bed in my Nintendo fanman Mother Brain boss chamber bedroom the ol’ blue light flickered to life once again. That’s three times in the past week and a half, for those of you still up and keeping score. Anyway, after I f...
WiiWare developers, meet the Wii Balance Board
The speculation and discussion has already started in around the WiiFit Balance Board it seems, with Square/Enix, of all companies, expressing interest in the peripheral today. And that’s to be expected; it didn’t take a video games genius last week to see that there was massive potential beyond WiiFit’s mini-games and BMI indexing abilities. Button-less, hands-free strafing in F...
Wii sucks the life out of Japanese television
Now this is an interesting angle/side effect to the wild success of the Wii. Apparently, not one show on any commercial Japanese station managed to attain more than a 9% share of audience viewing figures last week. “It’s something that hasn’t happened for nearly twenty years,” The Times reports. “The quality of programming has always been a little cyclical in Japan, but the...
E3 begins with a yawn. Can Nintendo save it?
The more I watch the recaps of Microsoft’s E3 presentation and the GameTrailers Killzone 2 footage, the more I find myself agreeing with Infendo contributor Malstrom. I usually agreed with ol’ Mal when he wrote over at The Wiikly, but more recently he said something in a column here at Nintendo that managed to coalesce all the thoughts in my head into one easy to swallow morsel. That m...
