Everything new is old: Atari 2600 Mega Man
Thought your collection of old school NES Mega Man cartridges was hardcore? Try this on for size: Mega Man for the the Atari 2600. Avalible for download at Atari Age’s Forums, this short but neat demo was created by David Galloway for iam8bit in 2007 and has only recently released to the public. The demo only has one level consisting of four vertically scrolling screens, and a boss ̵...
Don’t you wish Nintendo, Capcom, and Sega still made games together?
From MSNBC’s Top 5 defunct game developers: I bet you didn’t know Nintendo, Capcom, and Sega created a joint venture at one time to make games. Well, they did. And it was awesome. Dubbed Flagship, the studio was entrusted with developing successors to several household names in gaming ’ “Zelda,” “Kirby,” “Resident Evil,” and “Onimusha” to be exact ’ before being dissolved in 2007. ...
At Nintendo, even Miyamoto’s mistakes become games
So, funny story, dear Infendo readers… It seems that the golfing game in Wii Sports Resort was a bit of a mistake. Wasn’t supposed to be there. Sneaked passed the goalie. An “oops baby,” if you will. How? Well, in a story that’s only possible due to the sheer power wielded by Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto, the golfing game makes a reappearance in the Wii Sports fr...
G4 looks at new Harry Potter game: Fans Only
I weighed in with my some impressions on this title just after E3, and I can’t say I’m surprised by G4’s conclusion – I could see the potion making and Quiddich portions of the game becoming very repetitive, and even the awesome little dueling element could get tiresome with enough repetition. Still, if you’re a big Harry Potter fan, you might want to give this one ...

Learn about the Tatsunoko characters in…Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All Stars
I bet a lot of people probably don’t know the names of the Tatsunoko characters in Tatsunoko vs Capcom. It’s not surprising since a majority of them came from anime released in the early 70’s-90’s. Not to mention that half of the series never really made it over to America. So I thought I’d take some time and go through all the characters. Giving you a summary about t...
Miyamoto sorta kinda teases Kid Icarus title something
Shigeru Miyamoto, ever the distributor of quirky quotes and often a disseminator of info that the PR folks at Nintendo probably aren’t totally prepared he give out as soon as he does, is talking Kid Icarus this week. NP: And, of course, I have to ask: have you given any thought to putting a new Kid Icarus game on Wii or DS? Miyamoto: Wait, please. I’m really surprised how popular that ...
Review – Tales of Monkey Island: Launch of the Screaming Narwahl
One of the more interesting announcements around the time of E3 was the return of the great Monkey Island series. Not only is it back, but it’s being done as a monthly episodic game by Telltale and will be out for WiiWare as well! I got to play the first episode of Tales of Monkey Island for PC and it definitely upholds the Monkey Island name.
Japan: Platinum Club Nintendo Member Reward
This year Japanese Club Nintendo platinum members received a very special gift. It wasn’t that platinum Legend of Zelda statue I been hoping for, but it was something many of us would still cherish, a Mario hat. So Infendudes, if you got a Mario Hat as a reward for being a platinum member, would you wear it? [Thanks for the tip Jair]
Card Saga Wars – Link vs Cloud
This time Link versus Cloud. As you can see, we improved the older sprites and animations to match the newer characters, and also improved the combat interface as well as Link’s stage: Sacred Forest Meadow. The one freeware PC game that I’ve been waiting on since 2008, I’ll even go so far to say that it might be even greater than Smash Bros.
Infendo.com so “mischievous,” it was banned by the State of Oklahoma
Infendo’s own Jake Brandon, who works for an unidentied division of the State of Oklahoma, emailed headquarters with the following news today: “So I get back to work after lunch, ready to write up a wicked Infendo post, but found that the State of Oklahoma has blocked their employees from visiting the world famous Infendo.com. Our site is blocked not under ‘games,’ but R...
