Wii U eShop More Indie Friendly Than Wii
Martin Pichlmair, developer of Chasing Aurora, has told the Official Nintendo Magazine that he believes the Wii U will be a great platform for Indie Games. “I can not talk about the new eShop in detail,” said Pichlmair. “What I do know is that Nintendo is doing everything to make this console much more open, social and indie-friendly than the Wii ever was.” Pichlmair stakes...
What Do Punk Music, Michale Graves, And Nintendo Have In Common?
Nintendo news is a bit slow this morning (Of course, as soon as I post this article, the internet will blow up with news), so I thought I would share a Nintendo experience I had last night. One of our local bars was having a punk rock show featuring bands such as Menophobia, The Toxics, and Stay Golden. The headliner was none other than Michale Graves, former lead vocalist of the Misfits! Now, I...
Reggie Fils-Aime Talks Wii U
Most of Infendo’s followers are uber excited about the launch of the Wii U, regardless of what might still be unknown about the system. Although, some are a little skeptical about what is under the hood and in the cloud. There are a lot of gamers that are devout to other consoles that seem to think the Wii U is more of a gimmick than a legitimate system, I find that a bit childish, but it ...

Rumor: Wii U Region Locked
Eurogamer has reported that they received confirmation, from Nintendo UK, that the Wii U will be region locked. Now, this comes as no surprise since the Wii and the 3DS were also region locked, but it is a bit frustrating. There is nothing worse than finding a rare, or obscure title at a flea market, or online, and finding that your system cannot play it because of the region lock. I know that r...
***UPDATE*** Pure Nintendo Magazine KickStarter Project (Volume 6 Available In Article!)
When I heard the news that Nintendo Power was ending publication, I was crushed. I almost blame myself for not picking up an issue in years, but in my childhood I was an avid subscriber. I can remember anticipating the newest issue’s arrival, then slowly thumbing through the pages to ensure I did not miss a single detail. Now that it is gone, I feel that a piece of my childhood is lost. ...

World Wide Nintendo Direct 09/13/2012
I think it is safe to assume that all of us are fairly excited about Thursday’s Nintendo Direct. It is even more exciting to hear that Nintendo Europe will be holding their Nintendo Direct at exactly the same time as North America. It looks like the news that they are releasing will definitely be important enough to tell the world at the same time (3PM UK time, 10AM EST). It is anticipated...
A Little Of This, A Little of That
While we anxiously await the announcement of the Wii U release date and pricing, Nintendo news has been somewhat low key. So rather than focus on one topic, I thought I would share a few “happenings” in the Nintendo Universe. First off, it has been announced that The Legend of Zelda II: The Adventures of Link will be released on the Nintendo 3DS eShop. Of course, this was the second ...
Nintendo Print Ad Throwback
While browsing the internet for Nintendo news, I found the below image on GoNintendo.com. It makes me miss the old days of cheesy Nintendo advertisements. Do you have any favorite Nintendo ads from the past?

Mario arrives! First impressions
Thanks to the eShop download going live across the U.S. at 12:00 AM Eastern Time, West Coast Mario fans could purchase and download New Super Mario Bros. 2 at 9:00 PM last night.

The short opening cinema is s...
