My feelings on The legend of Zelda: Spirit TracksUpdate: The E3 Hands On
Update: Hands On. From what I understood from an Nintendo of America employee, Spirit Tracks is actually not a continuation of the Wind Waker series in terms of a sequel to Phantom Hourglass. Yet the game happens one hundred years after the events of Phantom Hourglass. The one thing I was complaining about before was of course the train game play. I said it is very limiting to exploration, and I w...
E3 Interview: Capcom’s Seth Killian Talks TvC!
One of the biggest and best announcements to go under appreciated at this year’s E3 was the localization of Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, a solid, beautiful fighting game pitting Capcom’s best against characters from Tatsunoko animation! After huge fan outcry to see this title on US shores and a complicated battle to collect all of the US character rights the game is finally heading to North A...
E3 hands on: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicals: The Crystal Bearers
One thing the Wii has been lacking is a big name Final Fantasy game – sure we had Echos of Time, but a Wii port of a DS title hardly counts. Square is delivering this year with Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers – and don’t let the Chronicals franchise name fool you – this is no co-operative multiplayer title.
E3: Hands on with Spore Hero
EA’s evolution RTS adventure made big waves when it was first announced several years ago, and has built a reputation around it’s customizable characters and unique worlds. I met up with Aaron Karause at E3, marketing Manager for Spore Hero on Wii – he told me that the Wii title offered a very different experience, but retained iconic feel that made Spore a hit.
E3 09 – Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince: better than you’d think
See a movie and game by the same name? Chances are the game is going to be terrible, regardless of the quality of the film – it’s an unfortunate and generally consistent unspoken rule in video games, although classics like Goldeneye and Spider-Man 2 have proven to be exceptions. Is Harry Potter’s latest movie game as exceptional as the boy wizard himself? Let’s just say...
E3 WiiWare – A Collection of Good Titles
While hanging out at the Nintendo both I managed to just barely spot the WiiWare specific section. Where it had Cave Story, Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, Icarian: Kindred Spirits, BIT. TRIP. CORE.,and Military Madness Nectaris. Being a big Cave Story fan, I decided to check that out first!

Metroid: Other MSo did anyone realize this?
In the trailer for Metroid: Other M, this commander asks “Samus” if there was “Any objections, lady?”. The only person in the entire Metroid series to even refer to Samus as a Lady was Adam Malkovich. Who is apparently dead in the Metroid Fusion timeline, so we know this game is going to be before that one. In the trailer it suggests that their is another Samus, but accordi...

Nintendo’s last laugh goes straight for the heart
In an interview with Financial Times, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata elaborated a bit more on that Wii Vitality Sensor that had the gaming press openly laughing during the keynote. I hate to gloat, but Infendo may have logged another accurate Nintendo prediction.
