Weekly Sweet Power Up for May 1st, 2009
This week we’re showcasing Debbie Gourd’s Super Metroid helmet cake. While not a gamer herself, Debbie runs her own cake-design shop out of San Francisco and did an amazing job creating this particular cake based on images of Samus from the net. It looks so detailed I think I’d feel bad cutting a slice out of poor Samus’ head.
Poll – Madden NFL 10 Wii
You may have seen the videos of the unique to Wii art style of Madden NFL 10, you may have commented on it, but let’s settle this with a poll: {democracy:84}
Nintendo Spotting Nibbles at your Retro Heart
If this was actually made during the NES era, what games do you think you would have been able to play with it? NES Mouse @ mousevomit.com
Infendo’s top 10 Wii games of summer
Summer fun often means time at the beach, sun dresses, cool drinks and warm weather. But not for us. At Infendo, we punished our brains over the last week thinking up ways to remain inside during the hot and humid summer. And upcoming Wii games were at the top of our list. We took the ten best, set them to pictures, and listed them here. So sit back, have a lemonade, avoid the sun, and enjoy! And ...
WiiWare – Final Fantasy 4 After Years Prologue
Final Fantasy IV comes to WiiWare sporting nine episodic downloads of Final Fantasy IV goodness. Wait a second Nine Episodes? I sure hope Square doesn’t expect us to pay 1,000 Nintendo points an episode. Also was this not a downloadable game on some phones in Japan not to long ago? Update: Screen Shots added, and After Years is going to have support for 1-4 players, which should add a grea...
How to quit with style: a DIY gaming goodbye
Jarrad Woods is a nerd after my own heart – he’s decided to dedicate his talents to Indie gaming full time, but to do this he had to resign his position at 2k Australia. How did he do it? By making a video game. “A message for 2k Australia” is a short game with a short message: I quit. ..okay, there’s a little more to it than that, but you have to leisurely walk your ...
Infendo Radio 142 is on NOW!
This week’s edition of Infendo Radio was plagued with hardware, software, and Internet based technical issues, and had to be cut short. Have no fear, full-sized Infendo Radio will return next week. This Week: What’s the big Nintendo release gamestop is holding shelf space for? Is 19.99 a reasonable price for Wii Motion Plus? Do component cables matter to you? All this and more, on ...
Madden 10 screens look fun, not real on Wii
EA today released a fresh batch of screenshots for Madden NFL 10 on Wii. Reactions to the first screen were mixed. But keep in mind Madden die-hards will stick to Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. The Wii version is obviously trying to do something new. For EA, the Wii version is all about growth, as the status quo design has grown stagnant in recent years. Still big, but stagnant. Madden NFL 10 arrives ...
Grand Slam Tennis walkthrough leaves me pining for high fives
I’m sorry, this just looks awesome. That said, I wonder how running is implemented, as positioning can make or break a tennis shot (and consequently, a tennis video game). Still, I’m very excited for this. Like Wii Sports all over.
Unreleased Games: Star Fox 2 (SNES)
Every once in a while a great game series has a game announced, and somehow it ends up canceled. This generally happens once in a blue moon with a popular franchise. The reason it happens could be because of many things, company restructure, new hardware is being released, or even a contract expires. Of the many Nintendo franchises that had a game canceled, Star Fox happened to be one of those rar...
Jane’s Addiction rocks this week’s New Game Get
Click on through for the megalist of DS & Wii games, as well as all manner of downloadable content. Looking at the list, it’s a bit sad that a 21 year old Jane’s Addiction album has the most going for it.
