Games For Heroes – donate your old DS to troops overseas
Here on Infendo we never hesitate to tell you about each new iteration of the DS, but I don’t think we’ve ever told you what to do with your old handhelds once you upgrade. Two dedicated young men from New York started Games For Heroes and have been sending used handheld games to troops serving overseas for almost two years now. It’s surprising to hear that the number one req...

Gaming Infidelity – Fraternising with the enemy
[Welcome aboard to new Infendo UK Correspondent Phil! -David] Ok, so hands up if you’re a Nintendo fan? That seems to be most people here, good stuff.

Insult to injury
Today’s DSi XL news is akin to an Olympic sprinter outrunning a man with no legs, but I’m going to bring it to you anyway because I’m a smug Nintendo fanman who loves to kick stupid products when they’re down. Deal with it. Basically, the DSi XL is beating the hapless PSPGo in Japan to the tune of 103,524 to 28,000 units in the first week two days of respective sales. The D...
Alright’after further research, I’m excited for Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Was Googling Spirit Tracks this morning for a feature story I’m writing, and admit, I finally warmed up to it. Actually, I’m really excited to play it now’moreso than I was for 2007’s Phantom Hourglass, which was a good but not outstanding Zelda, in my opinion. In any case, I’m ready to be an engineer next month, even if it’s the least publicized one of all time. Who&...
