Ruminations on 3D
With the Nintendo 3DS fervor of late, does that mean the Virtual Boy wasn’t technically a failure, but a gadget before its time? Personally, I think the widely accepted answer to that question may be that the technology was poorly executed (headaches!) and the idea of it was sound, but it was simply too early to be widely accepted by the masses. The 3DS, for me, shows we’re “read...
Top 3 Nintendo libraries that need a 3DS overhaul
Of all of the amazing 3DS demos Nintendo showed at E3, one of the most overlooked was a 3D port of the classic arcade shooter Xevious. It featured no new graphics or gameplay elements, levels, or power-ups ”“ it was a direct simple port of a definitively 2D game, slightly tweaked for depth perception. The result? The game looked a little more fresh ”“ the ground far below the aircraft”¦ actually...
Nintendo: 3DS in “all of major markets by March 31”
Whatever the 3DS ends up costing, Nintendo has at least guaranteed a time frame of when the new portable will be available in stores. “One thing, for sure, is that we will launch in all of our major markets by March 31, 2011,” Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime told Industry Gamers yesterday.

Nintendo 3DS just keeps getting better and better
Our intrepid trio of Infendo editors will surely have video impressions of the 3DS up later, but for now I just had to do a quick post on some of the stuff I’ve read already. Tell me if this sounds as awesome to you as it did for me:
PSA For Nintendo Fans
If you haven’t checked out Nintendo’s E3 Network yet, check it out! They’ve got screenshots and trailers for most of the great new games announced by the Big N this morning. They’ve also got some in depth interviews with Miyamoto, Sakurai, and others about the 3DS, Kid Icarus, and others. They’ve even got footage from the Nintendo Booth itself. I found myself sucked i...

Nintendo’s subtle E3 2010 megaton
I’m biased, of course, but Nintendo just “won” E3 with a relatively simple, games-focused keynote and in the process severely gimped poor Sony, which has to follow that oozing-with-game announcements presentation in a few minutes. Hands-down. Seriously, look at every tab on this page. Then look at the 3DS launch lineup. Staggering stuff. Almost un-Nintendo, if we go by last year&...
