Smash Club
You do not talk about Smash Club. Also, Link totally looks like an old man in this picture. Ew.
Infendo Radio 193 is on like Donkey Kong
Do you remember a simpler time, when games didn’t need colors and p0lygons to be great? Infendo Radio does.  This week Sean, Alexis, and Zac talk a little about the game that started it all: Donkey Kong – the remakes, the high scores, and the hot-sauce.  Also on the table? Industry layoffs and third party support. Check it out: Radio Feed iTunes Feed Check out the Download Links ...
Hands On: Lost in Shadow
For those who haven’t heard of this unique title heading to the Wii from Hudson Entertainment; Lost in Shadow is a puzzle platformer that puts you in the shadows. You are the personification of a young boy’s shadow who is, in essence, trying to climb a tower to reunite with his body. To get to his body he has to climb a giant tower before nightfall, and the only way is to interact with...
Portable gaming, now with more cellphone contracts!
So Sony is allegedly readying a PSPGo with a cellphone bolted on, courtesy Sony Ericsson. Gaming is changed forever! The 3DS is doomed! I kid, I kid. I think. More seriously, word is Nintendo and Nokia had a similar arrangement back in the day that never materialized, for reasons unknown (the device even went through the R&D process!). This isn’t exactly new territory, in other words. S...
What made GoldenEye 007 so good?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNdpXcVrYmo[/youtube] Was it the controls? The first of its kind on consoles? Something else? Whatever it was, I’m not so sure developer Eurocom will be able to revive the series on Wii, especially after reviewing their unimpressive portfolio.
Sorry, Mario, but the Princess is in another file cabinet
I think we have a better idea of what the Nintendo Finance department might look like today. Maybe not.
GoldenEye to include golden Classic Controller
Fans won’t receive a Golden Gun when they pick up the $70 GoldenEye Classic Controller Pro bundle, but they will receive—as the name implies—a Classic Controller Pro. Pricey! The regular version will retail for the usual $50. Excited?

Youtube Tuesday – Super Mario Galaxy 2 Short Cuts
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZpeDQBw3xg[/youtube] This is a compilation video of all the well known, or known shortcuts and tricks that are possible in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Surprisingly, I learned a trick or two from watching it. It’s a great video and I didn’t even think to do some of the stuff that is in this video. Pretty cool right?
Nintendo: Bringing all species together
Gorillas. Gaming. Now we just need to get him pwning n00bs over Nintendo WiFi connection and we’ll have something. (Reality: A kid at the San Francisco Zoo dropped his DS and the animals were fascinated. And who can blame them! More primate on DS action at GIZMODO)
Zelda’s new look?
Hmm. I’ve since warmed to the new pseudo-cel shaded look of the upcoming Wii MotionPlus-enhanced Zelda title, but the look of this deviantart submission has kind of given me second thoughts about what the next title in the series should look like… [Thanks 4cr for locating this gem]
The most comfortable power up ever
It was always an excellent moment in Mega Man when you stumbled across the coveted energy canister, and now you can relive that moment again and again on your couch, bed, floor—whatever. Surely, some enterprising retail firm will import this beauty from Japan. Surely.
