9 year old likes Mario’s mustache and the color red
When Infendo fan Markus sent us this article, I totally thought he stumbled on a missing Infendo satire article, especially when I read: “I like him. I like him a lot. He has a cool mustache,” says Colin Gaul, 9, from Portland, Ore. “He is awesome because he is brave and he’s been on a lot of adventures. And his favorite color is red and mine is too.” Colin has been a...
Hey Mario, let’s break stuff
When the haters get to be just too much, I go home and crank my Super Mario Bros. Bowser’s Castle Death Metal. Then everything is just peachy keen, even if I’m out a few broken tables and chairs because of it. Watch all the way to the epic end.
HOLD IT! Phoenix Wright on WiiWare confirmed!
…for Japan, at least. Thanks to snapshots of the latest issue Famitsu, a WiiWare port of the original “Ace Attorney” adventure and it’s two sequels has been confirmed. This series is quite the console hopper – starting on the Gameboy Advance in Japan, coming over to US Shores in a revised DS format – and now making it’s way to the Wii. It’s a b...
Donkey Kong captured, we have a winner
Congratulations to James, who used ingenious trickery to capture Donkey Kong and win a Spore Hero prize package from Infendo. Pictured is photographic evidence of how he did it. Brilliant. When reached for comment, Donkey Kong pounded his chest and grunted something about being framed, which doesn’t make much sense’he was found stuck in James’ floor. Fantastic work, entrants, and keep ...
Disaster: Day of Crisis in America – why the heck not?
Infendo reader Bill sent a query to Nintendo of America asking if there’s a future for Disaster: Day of Crisis in North America. He even suggested that they make it a WiiWare title now that Wii can handle 32GB SDHC cards. Their response was typical “thank you for contacting us, blah blah” stuff. It confirmed what I was thinking .. despite it not being up there in quality wi...
Linkachu is super effective!
Come on. You just know someone at Nintendo already had this laying around as a crazy East Egg idea for one of the three thousand Pokemon titles that have come out over the years.

Wii owners discovered that Nintendo had included a “terrorism” themed secret level in copies of the acclaimed side-scrolling platformer.

Youtube Tuesday – Games you wish were on a Nintendo Console
I have been following this title since it was originally announced way back in the day. It has been compared to various Nintendo games and have even been under scrutiny how close it resembles some of them. While I wish that this game could be released on the Wii, it seems the only option is the PS3 due the sheer amount of processing power the game needs to operate. However, I was sure that this ti...
