Remember this 2006 Wii Drum Demo? That’s just a taste of MotionPlus
I had almost forgotten this classic video of E3 2006 when this incredibly observant’and disruptive’little birdie that visits me from time to time pinged me with the link. This is how Nintendo will implement the MotionPlus accessory we wrote about this morning. 1:1 movement. A completely aware controller. Motion sensing. Waggle Plus. Wii Music. Given Nintendo’s strategy of bridge games and ex...

Nintendo hasn’t been this quiet about its game lineup for 10 years
Or so says one analyst in speaking to Reuters on Thursday. “I’ve been covering this company since 1999. I’ve never been so unaware of what their big year-end titles are at this point in the year,” Credit Suisse analyst Jay Defibaugh said. They sure have everyone guessing these days, don’t they?

While skimming the paper in the Infendo HQ penthouse this morning I happened to glance at my television, my laptop, and Shigeru Miyamoto all in the same instant (he occasionally makes us breakfast).
