Youtube Tuesday – Return of the Brawl Hacks
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60E0Kw7Oqhg[/youtube] Seems a group of hackers [DasDonkey Team and Kitty Corp] have created a texture hack that replaces Ike with Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII. Texture hacks aren’t exactly new in the world of brawl hacks, but a complete replacement of character and extensive edits are a little harder to do. So I want to ask the question, if you ...
New hardware, MotionPlus game mentioned by Miyamoto
“Did I do it again? Did I let something slip?! I just get so excited!” As the recipient of a “Special Achievement Prize” during a symposium at the 13th Annual Japan Media Arts Festival on Saturday, Shigeru “loose lips” Miyamoto had time to spill two tidbits of information while up on stage. Not only has Miyamoto confirmed that Nintendo is working on some new ha...
Even Netflix doesn’t think Wii’s lack of HD is a big deal
As much as some may piss and moan about the lack of HD on the Wii, it’s just not that big of a deal, and won’t be for some time. Netflix agrees. Now, when HD is ubiquitous, and “hardcore” developers like Epic Games can say 80% of their customers play core games in HD, and not just 50%; and companies like Microsoft ship HD cables, you know, in the box that contains their HD ...
New Game Get needs to catch its frog with Blaster Master Overdrive
With only a day’s notice, we suddenly have a new Blaster Master game for WiiWare! If that’s not your cup of tea, then hop on your Balance Board and check out Super Monkey Ball Step & Roll, or maybe even Data East Arcade Classics. Shiren The Wanderer might be interesting, too. Then again, you could just go thrash out with Megadeth DLC on Rock Band 2. Wow, it’s a pretty good we...
What’s the best shooter on Wii?
Although Xbox, PlayStation, and PC carry a lot more first-person shooters, said games exist on Wii’even good ones. But they’re few and far between. So what would recommend for trigger-happy Wii owners looking for a moving target: Metroid Prime 3, Link’s Crossbow, Medal of Honor, Modern Warfare Reflex, an entirely different game? Do tell.
Blaster Master Overdrive arrives tomorrow on WiiWare
Well hello Blaster Master Overdrive. The WiiWare release date was announced today. It’s tomorrow. Shortest turnaround time for a game announce-to-launch ever? Possibly. It’s certainly got Nintendo’s usually model beat by a couple of weeks, at least. Costs 1000 Wii Points.
Review: The Magic Obelisk Delivers a Magical Puzzle Platformer
The Magic Obelisk introduces us to Lukus, a spunky little tree spirit, and Popo, his fairy-like light spirit sidekick. The game starts off as Lukus ventures into the world to find a good place to plant himself and grow into a tree. However, Lukus is forced to stick to the shadows. You see, if he stands in the sunlight, he will turn into a tree! Don’t worry though, you control Popo as he inte...

Sonic 4 confirmed, 2D game arrives this summer on WiiWare, PSN, Xbox Live Arcade
Sega must read Infendo. That’s all there is to it. A 2D Sonic, downloadable via WiiWare, Xbox Live and PSN, will arrive this summer. Called Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1, it looks to be an episodic take on the classic, if not slightly forgotten and abused character. We at Infendo would say we hate being right and thank you, Sega, for listening, but we know they’re probably too hard a...
Where’s Sonic the Hedgehog these days?
As much as I’d love to see Sonic return to 2D and make a 1990s-era resurgence on the Wii, you can’t deny that this video, courtesy CollegeHumor, is funny because it’s true.
What would you like in a New Pokémon game?
Zac, Infendo writer and podcaster extraordinaire, has posed a question in the new Infendo forums… What exactly do you expect in a new pokémon game? His wish list is as follows: 1. I want an immersible 3D world, especially with 3D battling. The 3D animators thing makes me think that this is on the slate. 2. An online town/room/whatever where trainers can go to battle, trade, etc on wifi that...
