Next Generation’s top 20 games of E3 snubs Metroid Prime 3
Typo or gross negligence? Next Generation’s top 20 games of E3 list doesn’t mention Metroid Prime 3. Nor does the site list the title in the honorable mentions. Now I’m as guilty a Nintendo fanman as the next guy, but this is ludicrous. Even the hardcore gaming blogs, like Destructoid, gushed like a schoolgirl over the look and feel of Metroid Prime. I have yet to read any negati...
E3 Link Dump, courtesy 4cr
Rumas over at 4cr has done the hard work this morning, assembling more than a dozen links to Nintendo E3 content–including videos, interviews, screenshots and a slew of hands-on impressions of Mario and Metroid (the first paragraph in the Metroid one is interesting, to say the least…). You can find 4cr’s linkage here and here, and you can wash the drool off of your mouth after th...

Poll – Major geek events
It’s quickly becoming E3 week here at Infendo. For some people, it’s a big deal. They’ll scour the Net looking for any scrap of news or glimpse of a booth babe. Other people just don’t care. This week we want to know: {democracy:10} Let us know why or why not in comments. For the results of last week’s Metroid Prime 3 poll, click here. [photo by Wili_Hybrid]
EA Ahoy: Man the mini gear for a mini expo!
E3 2007 smallish version here we come. I just got done finalizing all the logistics for my travels to E3 in Santa Monica this year. On the surface, the expo feels like a disorganized mess; hotels everywhere, transportation headaches, superfluous appointments, and tiny game booths to name a few. Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited to see what announcements will come and to get my grubby han...
E3 – Your guess is as good as mine
If you listened to Infendo Radio this weekend, you know that Infendo will be at E3 again this year! Blake will be giving us updates and we’ll be posting hot news for your eyes. Speculation is always fun, though. What do you think Nintendo will show off at E3 this year?
Nintendo E3 predictions from around the Net
Game|Life has a whack at some Nintendo predictions for the mini-E3 descending on Santa Monica next week: I don’t think Nintendo will bother showing off a redesigned DS. They’ve already said that this E3 is going to be software-focused. Plus, they don’t need to do it: the DS Lite is selling like no other game system in history, and people don’t have any real complaints about...
How the game industry lost its way (and how Nintendo could save it — again), part 2
Editor’s Note: First off, a big thanks to everyone who commented on part 1 (even some of the negative ones over at digg.com 🙂 ). It was by no means a perfect column, as I discovered upon subsequent re-reads, but I do appreciate that many people out there share my view on the industry today. Perhaps we can change it, if only just a little. For now though, onward and upward to part 2… Pa...
