Remember when Wii was all sold out?

Posted: 15 Jul 2009 03:00 AM PDT

Long-time Infendo fanman Jack Loftus tells the story of how he bought a Wii on launch day. It’s dark. My alarm is going off, and I can hear my cell phone ringing on volume level 5, the highest setting. It’s my friend Fitz, the driver for today. He’s outside already. Great. I throw on yesterday’s [...]

Youtube Tuesday: Nintendo vs Sony vs Microsft

Posted: 14 Jul 2009 08:37 PM PDT

It’s been a while since this was brought up… but who do you think is winning the console war? To be honest, I’ve always believed that we’d lose no matter who wins. Have any suggestions or videos for YouTube Tuesday? Send them in at tips@infendo.com

Club Nintendo Platinum and Gold awards…

Posted: 14 Jul 2009 04:51 AM PDT

The rewards are after the jump, but you can only choose one guys. What would you choose and why? Platinum has a choice of a download for Punch Out add on content (The first real game add on for Nintendo), or a Mario hat, and Gold status just gets a Calandar… cool I guess.

Smash Bros. like you’ve never seen them before (and hopefully ever again)

Posted: 12 Jul 2009 12:16 PM PDT

I freely admit that this is the first time something related to Super Smash Bros. Brawl has frightened me. A little. More eeriness here. That said, Zero Suit Samus is, as ever, still sexy.

What was your first Nintendo experience?

Posted: 11 Jul 2009 07:00 AM PDT

As with many of you, I fondly remember my first Nintendo experience. The year was 1986, and I was at a friend’s house playing the original Nintendo Entertainment System. This wasn’t the first console I played at home (the Atari 2600 owns that honor), but I instantly knew I was playing something very different. I [...]

Capcom: Resident Evil 5 “possible” on Wii. Infendo: “No thanks—We don’t care about boring sequels”

Posted: 10 Jul 2009 09:46 AM PDT

Some Capcom dude has been quoted as saying that Resident Evil 5 is “possible” on Wii. Still, it “isn’t likely,” he says. Were he talking about a game of consequence, say Capcom’s excellent Resident Evil 4, I would be saddened by the statement. But he’s not talking about a game of consequence. He’s talking about [...]

Be still my nostalgic heart, for there’s Game & Watch games coming to DSiWare in the wonderful Land of the Rising sun. Sure, it’s Japan only, for now, but if clap really hard, and dust off all of our Mario’s Cement Factory games in unison, perhaps Nintendo will notice and throw a few our way? Maybe. [...]

How? Well, in a story that’s only possible due to the sheer power wielded by Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto, the [...]
