Infendo community….help!
In three weeks time, the world will know exactly (well maybe not EXACTLY) what Nintendo has in store for us for the next couple of years. By this time a month from now Project Café will be unveiled at e3, Nintendo will show the world exactly why the 3DS is a must have system, and in a first for me, I will be at the conference to share everything Nintendo with you dear readers. It has been 3 month...
3DS terms of service are downright offensive
According to 3DS terms of service via Defective by Design: By accepting this Agreement or using a Nintendo 3DS System or the Nintendo 3DS Service, you also grant to Nintendo a worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive and fully sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform and display your User Co...
Nintendo + Best Buy = 3DS download service
Next time you walk into your local Best Buy make sure you bring your 3DS with you. Nintendo has just announced a partnership with Best Buy in which the retailer will provide access to “exclusive offers as well as additional entertainment content such as gaming extras and movie trailers.” The part about gaming extras has got me listening. Could the service perhaps bring additional wo...
Name that company
Hey! A little game to start off our Tuesday. What fun! Here it goes. It’s pretty simple: Guess the mystery company using the clues provided. Blame the customers for lower than expected sales. Fledgling handheld. Rumored $400 next-gen console. Ignore the competition, label it insignificant or kiddie or even dangerous to the industry. Use weird doublespeak and borderline lies in your press rel...

What Nintendo franchise needs an upgrade?
Who doesn’t love the weekend? When mine comes around I usually like to pull out one of my classic gaming consoles and give them a whirl, much like Blake has been doing lately. This weekend during one such play session I popped in a game, closed the game-flap on my NES, and thought to myself, “Wow! Why hasn’t this game been released again!?” What was that game you ask? StarT...
Don’t listen to this week’s Infendo Radio. You’ll hate it.
I’m serious. Stay away, especially if you hate change and are madly in love with 3DS. Yup, this one sorta turned into Doom and Gloom part 2. Will Nintendo’s next console be the last of its kind, 3DS indifference, bathroom gaming, Wii component cables, and listener calls all discussed. I’m warning you, this is gonna hurt.

Ubisoft CEO on Project Café: “it’s a fantastic platform”
Ubisoft and Nintendo have had a smashing relationship this console generation, as evidenced by the seven launch titles Ubisoft had ready for Wii. Ubisoft has made the most of this relationship and has, as of this writing, 14 million sellers on Wii. It isn’t a stretch to assume that Ubisoft will continue to support Nintendo platforms in the future, and leave it to CEO and founder Yves Guillem...
Chrono Trigger. Virtual Console. Monday. YES!
Monday, May 16th, a big wish comes true for many game fans: Chrono Trigger, the original time-bending, actions-have-consequences, multiple-endings, medieval, futuristic, Tolkienesque, steampunk, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink Super Nintendo RPG classic arrives on Wii via the Virtual Console service. Eight bucks for one of the best games ever created. Not a bad deal. Click here for more informatio...
With motion now standard and when equally priced, Xbox 360 more popular than Wii
The Wii has seen quite the drop in demand recently. After dominating the competition for the first four years of its life, the game-changing console has been relegated to second place in America for the last 12 months (give or take a month or two) behind Xbox 360. In other words, when equally priced at $199, Americans slightly favor Xbox 360, at least at this point in the Wii’s lifecycle. On...
NPDs are in….DS tops 3DS for April
Before I go further, let me just say that Nintendo and the 3DS are both going to be just fine. Ok, now that we have that out of the way, hi folks. I hope everyone is ready to talk sales numbers and such. If you’re not, stop right now and instead listen to Infendo Radio. For the rest of you, I’ll see you after the break.
