Molyneux: ” I struggle to see anything amazing coming out of Nintendo”
Whenever a new console is launched, there is bound to be a certain amount of negativity surrounding the release. Usually, we see the insults coming from the other console manufacturers as they try to steal the curiosity their way. It is a rare occasion that we see a developer bashing a console, the obvious reason is that they do not want to burn any bridges. Peter Molyneux, Former Bullfrog and L...
Sneak Peek: Nintendo eShop for the Wii U
Nintendo of Japan recently posted photos of what the Wii U version of the eShop will look and operate. For now, not much to report as the page’s descriptions are in Japanese, and I’m not the go-to translator at Infendo.com sadly. However, the one screengrab does show off a clean and (maybe?) streamlined interface. Again, just a preview of what will hopefully lead to a North America spe...

This is one of those “fan finds”. Adam Benton, a graphic design student from Essex, created this screen printed book recapping Nintendo’s UK history. “This is one of my final books for my bookmaking and...
This isnt Nintendos first rodeo: Retrospective of Nintendo Online
The Wii U launch is nearing folks, and even though we know a ton about the console, there are still plenty of question marks, namely the way users will connect with each other online. Surprisingly, Nintendo has been taking their consoles online since 1995, far sooner than either Microsoft or Sony had even thought about making a gaming console. Click on through to take a tour of Nintendo’s fo...
Nintendo lists Pikmin 3 for March 2013 release
It has been mentioned before on Infendo Radio about the possibility of Pikmin 3 missing the Wii U’s launch date. During a recent edition of Iwata Asks interview, the company confirmed that Pikmin 3 is listed for release during March 2013, which fits in line with the Wii U “launch window.” Again, the news isn’t all surprising, considering Nintendo may want to spread out more...
Nintendo, we have a problem
In two days we will be exactly a month away from the launch of the Wii U in North America, but aside from Nintendo (and maybe including them) nobody knows how the online will work on the console. This is a problem. How is it that in 2012, a video game company who competes (whether they admit they are in a competition or not) with Microsoft and Sony can launch a brand new console without giving any...
IGN Reports a Triple-A Square Enix Port Coming to Wii U
IGN has reported that the studio that is porting Mass Effect 3 to the Wii U, will also be porting a “Triple-A” Square Enix title to the Wii U. Although there is no official word on the title, I am hoping for either a Final Fantasy X HD, Final Fantasy 7 remake (just wishful thinking there, i would put money on this NOT happening), Kingdom Hearts 1.5, or maybe TWEWY, or TWEWY 2. Watch t...

Sony Sues Over Kevin Butler Appearance In Wii Commercial
Kevin Butler has become a rather popular spokes person for PlayStation products. In their commercials, he portrays a rather likeable executive that is not afraid to speak his mind. It seems that Sony likes him so much, that they do not want anyone else to use the actor. However, Kevin Butler is not a real person. In fact, the man behind the character is actor Jerry Lambert. You might be wonderi...
Reggie: Nintendo is and always will be an entertainment company
Reggie Fils-Aime spoke to the Seattle Times recently and stated that he does not view Nintendo as a “gaming” company, but rather as an entertaining company. “We’ve always been an entertainment company,” he said. Maybe that is why the Nintendo experience always feels so different from that of the competitors. Their focus on the experience to provide us with, not only a great game, but a...
New 3DS Colors And Bundles For Japan And Europe
Living in America is great, we have freedom of speech, religion, equal rights, and many other perks that a lot of countries do not have. But there is one thing that we do not have, and that is new 3DS colors and bundles that Europe and Japan are getting! For starters, Japan is getting some sexy new bundles. The New Super Mario Bros. 2 bundle is red with iconic Mario symbols adorning the case o...
