Shigeru Miyamoto is working on 3D Pikmin animation

Shigeru Miyamoto has announced he is working on a series of animated 3D shorts based on the GameCube debuting series; Pikmin. Nintendo gave a taste of what to expect to the media, showing a clip of main protagonist captain Olimar blending Pikmin into a large smoothie, but is then comically revealed to be just (PikPik?) carrots. In an interview about the new project, Miyamoto said “When Olima...

Surprise! Happy Birthday Shigeru Miyamoto!

Miyamoto, I have to say that you are a really clever man. You thought you could hide the fact that it is your birthday by releasing Animal Crossing: City Folk on it. Thinking that we would forget such a day and overlook it. However, we at Infendo would never forget the birthday of one of the greatest video game visionaries ever to walk the earth. Even though you have reached the age of 56, you sti...

Happy belated birthday, Shigeru Miyamoto!

The Nintendo Trinity just took the top three spots on Game Rankings? I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate Shigeru Miyamoto’s birthday than that.

We wish him well, and we hope for many...

Shigeru Miyamoto’s Peter Pan effect

Peter Pan is the mythical figure who refused to grow up. To some, Shigeru Miyamoto is the game designer who invented the console genre, but refused to shift gears with the rest of the industry as it grew over the past 20 years. Only those gamers in denial would say Nintendo hasn’t suffered from a “kiddie image.” It’s not completely accurate, but regardless public opinion ha...

EA Announces Miyamoto Is A Failure

Richard Hilleman, Chief Creative Officer of Electronic Arts, has recently shared his disapprovement of Shigeru Miyamoto’s role at Nintendo.  In response to Miyamoto’s one time grandeur, he believes that he has not kept up with the times, and should have gone mobile quite a while ago. “I thank Miyamoto for that,” he said of the Nintendo designers historical contribution to games. “But h...
