Completely unsurprising Wiimote with MotionPlus built in outed by GameStop
Wow! What a shock! GameStop, as they are wont to do with new products and kit, has inadvertently outed an all-in-one Wiimote/MotionPlus combo controller with their listing for the sure-fire sleeper hit of the holiday season, FlingSmash. Looks like the new controller is going to be bundled in with this game (and probably many others) sometime in early November. And, since it’s going to inevit...
Zelda question for Miyamoto – Should we start practicing for Skyward Sword?
I think Wii Sports Resort might be headed back into my Wii this weekend!
Confirmed: Black Wii arrives alongside new Wii Sports Resort/MotionPlus bundle
Black, white and bundled is the phrase of the moment at Nintendo these days, as the industry leading company prepares to offer a additional color and a new bundle to consumers shopping for a Wii later this month. We knew about the black Wii, but today Nintendo tipped the Infendo mailbox with a press release that detailed a new Wii Sports Resort and MotionPlus bundle that will also feature the vene...
Wait…What’s Left?Looking Forward to E3
Before the dust settles after this morning’s press event, I am already thinking about E3. With almost all of Nintendo’s loose ends tied up this morning, that leaves me thinking about what they didn’t tell us: the second half of the year.
New hardware, MotionPlus game mentioned by Miyamoto

Not only has Miyamoto confirmed that Nintendo is working on some new ha...
Official Wii Sports Resort commercial
They should probably have included “shortages expected this winter” in the fine print as well (or is that a given with Nintendo supply chains these days?). Who picked it up?
There might be something to this Wii MotionPlus thing…
First party Nintendo titles? MotionPlus don’t need no stinkin’ first party titles. It’s sold 500,000 units since launch on the strength of Tiger Woods alone (and to a lesser extent Grand Slam Tennis). A bit less than half of that was sold in Tiger Woods bundles. The ravaged economy, responsible for the current slump in gaming, has had the RPG-esque “no effect” on Moti...
At Nintendo, even Miyamoto’s mistakes become games
So, funny story, dear Infendo readers… It seems that the golfing game in Wii Sports Resort was a bit of a mistake. Wasn’t supposed to be there. Sneaked passed the goalie. An “oops baby,” if you will. How? Well, in a story that’s only possible due to the sheer power wielded by Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto, the golfing game makes a reappearance in the Wii Sports fr...
