IBM working with Nintendo again for next console
PC World reports, via NeoGAF: “IBM is working with gaming machine vendors including Nintendo and Sony, said Jai Menon, CTO of IBM’s Systems and Technology Group, during an interview Thursday. ‘We’re working with all of the game folks to provide our capabilities into those next-generation machines,’ he said.” As a reminder, IBM supplied Nintendo with processors f...
Remember how hard F-Zero GX was?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYxZrMMdAR4[/youtube] Anyone complaining about the lack of difficult games recently obviously missed this discouraging hard GameCube game. After 15 attempts, I don’t think I ever made it past the second track. I haven’t picked it up since.
Let’s Play Confusing Game Summaries!
This is a game where you play a specially engineered super-soldier. Where you must stop a rebellion staged by old members of his unit, who are all named after animals and possess different weapons. His fight will take him to a secret enemy base where his sword-wielding friend will sacrifice himself to stall for time against an enemy utilizing a bipedal battle robot. {democracy:117}
Would you pay for HD remastered Nintendo games?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jiMBnzi0P4[/youtube] Infendo Nation, I have a confession. I want to play Zelda: Wind Waker on my new TV. But I want to play it in wide-screen at a higher resolution. My question to you: Will Nintendo re-release their hit games on their first HD console, a la the Sly Collection for PS3? I hope so.
Best Nintendo gaming dungeon ever
This photo has been floating around the internet for several years now. I’m pretty sure we posted it on Infendo circa 2005. In any case, it is hands down the best Nintendo gaming dungeon ever. Whoever staged this deserves a gold star. Seriously.
If it weren’t for GameCube profits, would there even be a Wii?
As the predecessor to Wii, the GameCube was Nintendo’s worst selling console ever. During its six year life, it sold only 22 million units worldwide. Despite this, Nintendo reportedly turned a profit on the little purple box, thanks to a strong lineup of first party games and low cost hardware. That said, I can’t help but wonder if Wii would have materialized had the GameCube operated ...
The Final Word: Why the N64 wasn’t a huge success (and how the next Wii can be)
Looking back on Nintendo systems, it’s easy to see why the NES, GameBoy, DS, and Wii were such successes. The NES had Super Mario Bros. GameBoy had Tetris. DS had Nintendodogs. Wii had Wii Sports. In other words, they all had must-have launch games. But to get theses games, you had to buy the hardware. Conversely, it’s easy to see why the GameCube never really took off, despite its pot...
Youtube Tuesday: What’s goin on in your Town?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzZSPWLpq8c[/youtube] Do you know it has been almost 8 years since the original Animal Crossing was released on the Game Cube? Ever wonder what happened to your town? I’m actually too scared to boot mine up.
Eternal Darkness trademark renewed! A perfect opportunity to show what the Vitality sensor can do
A month or so ago it seemed that Nintendo had given up on the Eternal Darkness trademark/patent as they let it expire without even a nod at its existence; however, yesterday, it seems that Nintendo does care and has renewed the trademark/patent on the games name. While we are probably won’t see a new title for this game in a while. Eternal Darkness’s style and game play would be perfec...
Nintendo trademarks Luigi’s Mansion Again! Dooo do do dooo~ Do-dooo do dooooo~??
Nintendo has recently renewed/set up a new trademark for Luigi’s Mansion. While I am pretty sure Nintendo is just making sure they still hold the rights for their titles… I think it would be nice if we happened to see a New Play Control remake of the original Gamecube title. Yet, my heart tells me not to get my hopes up. Would you like to see a remake or new play control style Luigi...
