Nintendo to Invade Pax! Brings everything except Zelda and the 3DS
Their booth number is 352, and according to the info I just received, they will be bringing a bunch of games. That includes a brand new WiiWare title called Fluidity. Fluidity combines an amazing physics engine that realistically models flowing water with innovative puzzle game play. Using the three forms of water ”“ liquid, ice and cloud ”“ players will solve challenging puzzles across multiple c...
Coming soon: Kinect and Sony PlayStation Move Airstream trailers
Nintendo is at again with their custom Airstream trailer. Like previous summers, this one will feature the old school trailer making its way across the U.S., franchise characters plastered on its sides for all to see. The latest games and select “soon to be released” Nintendo titles will surely be contained within. Marketing? Marketing:
Portable gaming, now with more cellphone contracts!
So Sony is allegedly readying a PSPGo with a cellphone bolted on, courtesy Sony Ericsson. Gaming is changed forever! The 3DS is doomed! I kid, I kid. I think. More seriously, word is Nintendo and Nokia had a similar arrangement back in the day that never materialized, for reasons unknown (the device even went through the R&D process!). This isn’t exactly new territory, in other words. S...
At 30M sold, Wii sets U.S. record for fastest selling console, says Nintendo
Nintendo’s internal sales figures show that the Wiiâ„¢ video game system has now sold 30 million units in the United States alone. This significant milestone was reached in just 45 months. This further establishes Wii as the fastest-selling console in the history of the industry, reaching this milestone 15 months faster than the next best-selling console. Wii launched in November 2006 and us...
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.
Mario tops list of “video games we keep buying, but haven’t changed in eons”
Or so says this guy (and he has a point). Not that it deters us from still playing. 🙂
Rant: “Filmmakers”
The only way you will ever hear me say that a “movie mode” in Metroid Other M is a “good idea” is if Team Ninja has also installed an option that allows me to play the game without any cutscenes or cheesy voice acting whatsoever. Unbelievable. I mean, really, really unbelievable. An August release date make total sense now. This game is forgotten by Christmas. I’m ang...
The Nintendo 3DS will be $189 (titles for $40?)
So September’s the big month for 3DS. Pricing, release date, Reggie Fils-Aime jumping out of a big Nintendo is King cake just like that douche Lebron James and all will be right with the world. Or will it? Rumors and speculation have the price for this genuinely industry-energizing device fluctuating wildly, anywhere from $129 all the way up to a suicidal $300. My guess? $179 to $199, but pr...

Bill Trinen has been involved in the translation of many Nintendo 64, GameCube, and Game Boy titles. He began at Nintendo of America by translating debug reports on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and...
The Evolution of Nintendo Characters
It’s always cool to look back at the past and see how we’ve improved over the years, and it is even cooler how Mario, Donkey Kong, and Link have grown with us. With the ever expanding technology and limitless possibilities it’s hard to picture what they’re be like in the future. Yet, looking back, it’s been a good run hasn’t it? Few characters evolve as much as ...
Meanwhile, in Kyoto…
You know who’s not sweating bullets or worried about much of anything today? Everyone at Nintendo.
You probably won’t care about this Wii competition (and I don’t blame you)
Programming note: Uh, sorry. The whole of Infendo took an extra extended holiday this weekend, apparently. Now back to regularly scheduled breaking news (wink, wink). Over the next two months, Nintendo is hosting public tournaments at various malls and whatnot. Rather than demoing new games, however, the events are seemingly for bragging rights only for the following games: Wii Sports Resort, Mari...
