Japan: WiiFit outsells PS3 in six months

Before you jump on my back, know that this post is speaking more to the power of WiiFit than it is demeaning the PS3. Believe me, the system doesn’t need my help in that department. As you can see from this screengrab of Malstrom’s Hardcore Gamer Suicide Watch page, WiiFit surpassed the PS3 in Japan. Not the Wii, mind you, but a Wii peripheral. Oh, and I still vehemently maintain that ...

Nintendo, done in the Biblical sense

If you don’t read Sean Malstrom, you should. If that makes me sound like his official cheerleader, then so be it. On his homepage today, Malstrom juxtaposes the Book of Revelations and four key Nintendo executives. The results are humorous, telling, and 100% enjoyable to read. Come and see, the voice said to me. I looked up, honked my trumpet again, and lo! Come and see! said the voice again...

Malstrom: Birdmen and the Casual Fallacy

I would be remiss if I didn’t tell everyone here that Sean Malstrom, a long time source and even contributor here at Infendo, has been busy at work updating his web site and adding fresh Nintendo content (and having a cigar and some cognac too, it would seem). Go take a look at his latest, Birdmen and the Casual Fallacy. Don’t let the name or even the length deter you from finishing th...

How abot calling out all of the Lumine...

Wii BINGO

I discovered this gem of a WiiWare game waiting to happen when perusing Malstrom’s secret web site yesterday evening. It’s something to bide your time as you wait for titles like Galaxy or Smash Bros. or even Dewy’s Adventure to hit your system. It’s Wii BINGO! Before you roll your eyes, just hit the jump and see what this is *really* all about.

Nintendo and the rising continent

Malstrom is at it again. Today he’s delivered us a series of new (and lengthy!) articles about gaming, Nintendo and the future of the industry as a whole. I think with the outrageous success currently being enjoyed by the Wii and its software (you know, the software that ignoramuses say doesn’t exist yet) this is an especially timely delivery. On a personal note, the reason I enjoy the...

Drowning In The Blue Ocean

From time to time, the Infendo mail slot will flop open and a reader submitted article will drift into our offices. Today we share with you an essay entitled “Drowning In The Blue Ocean” by Sean Malstrom. I wish someone would offer a prize, of piles of money, ribbons, and a piece of chocolate cake for a good, simple definition of the word: “Generation”. What an immense service it woul...
