New Game Get is downloading now!
This week is all about the downloads. After watching some video footage of this new Nintendo title, I plan to check out PictureBook Gamesâ„¢: Pop-Up Pursuit. It looks like it might fill the Mario Party hole we’ve had for a while now. Revenge of Shinobi for Genesis and some great Rock Band songs round out a decent week of downloads. Too bad the regular Wii and DS games this week can’t k...
Guest column – Things are not always as they appear
[Guest article by Infendo reader Mike Reilly] If you were to research the state of the video game industry through the most obvious available sources, you would come to the wrong conclusion. If you surfed the most popular gaming websites, blogs and forums and subscribed to the most popular video game magazines still published, you would assume Xbox 360 and Playstaton 3 were in the midst of a hea...

Miyamoto is a flip-flopper!
“We don’t really update those games until we have some type of new capability or technology to apply to them. We don’t take the same engine and just create a sequel. Every time we create a follow-up to a title, we rebuild the game, recreate its systems and create an entirely new game.” (Get Rich Playing Games, p. 147, published 2007) And what exactly would you call Super Ma...
So… Bit.Trip Core is awesome! (And hard!)
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rO0hliWO7Kg[/youtube] So the wife and I were playing Bit.Trip Core last night. It’s awesome, particularly if you miss old arcade games and are fond of rhythm. Better than NyxQuest I’d say. Need to try Bit.Trip Beat now. Any WiiWare games you’ve been playing?

Madden 10 on Wii looks hot; slickest menus this side of HD
I’ve been playing around with Madden 10 on Wii (still not enough for a final verdict), but I will say the presentation is incredible. The start screen and menus alone look like something you’d expect from an HD console. It’s soooo captivating. And there are a surprising amount of play modes, more than other versions of the game. Now if only I can up my skills on the field (haven&...
Nintendo to offer 32GB SD card streaming
Nintendo, slow to start and downright stubborn when it came to the “how the hell do I store more than five games on my Wii” game, is now set to offer support for 32GB SD cards when Guitar Hero 5 arrives later this year. Welcome to the present, Nintendo! But seriously, this is good news, as game data will soon stream seamlessly from SD card to console, meaning things like this are entir...
