Drowning In The Blue Ocean
From time to time, the Infendo mail slot will flop open and a reader submitted article will drift into our offices. Today we share with you an essay entitled “Drowning In The Blue Ocean” by Sean Malstrom.

Wii don’t need DVD playback capability
Seems like putting a soothing blue light in the loading slot was a better business decision than including a pricey “blue-rayed” high def DVD player. Why? Because there’s more evidence out today that Nintendo was crazy like a fox for not including DVD capability in the Wii. Gamasutra: According to new research by The Diffusion Group, though 80 percent of console owners have the o...

Monday Thoughts: The Reggilution/The Miyamoto-verse.
There was a question posed this weekend on Infendo radio of who has had more of an impact on Nintendo, Reggie or Miyamoto. My initial answer was that since being hired in 2003 Reggie has been the driving force for the rebirth of Nintendo and is the reason I am here so for me Reggie is the impact player at Nintendo. So a day goes by and I am watching my girlfriend play Super Paper Mario. I ask her ...
Wii is too loud
The volume on my TV runs on a scale of 0-100. When I watch cable, I set the TV at 50 and all is well. If I turn on my Wii, I have to turn the TV down to 10 or less before the Wii Menu’s chimes begin their droning and alarm the neighbors. My GameCube was similar, but Wii seems to be even louder. Is it just me, or is the audio on Wii just too loud?

Rebuilding Nintendo’s Million Dollar Man (DS)
We can rebuild him, they said of the SIX Million Dollar Man. Next Generation writer Eric-Jon Rössel Waugh believes the DS, for all its fame and fortune today, can be rebuilt into an even greater device tomorrow. While some of the suggestions are ones we’ve all been kicking around since the launch of the DS Lite (PictoChat needs an overhaul, rebooting after setting the clock = BAD), others a...
