Mega Man 10, Bass and other DLC Annoucned
If you have ever played Mega Man 7 on the Super Nintendo. You should be familiar with the sinister copy of Mega Man know as Bass. He is of course designed by Dr. Wily, and was constructed based on research on Mega Man. Bass has strong desire to defeat Mega Man and be known as the strongest robot in the world often makes him rebel against Dr. Wily’s own orders. Though he wants to defeat Mega ...
Ape and hog ousted to similarly loony tune
Nintendo’s mascots know how things work in Kyoto. It’s not about what you’ve done. It’s about whether your cap has an “M” on it. As its unabated string of Mario sequels and spin-offs suggests, Nintendo knows who butters the corporate bread. The company has turned to the plumber with unflinching regularity over the years, and while it has sold countless millions of titles b...
Ten things you might not know about Super Mario Bros.
Most Infendo faithful probably already knew these fun facts about Super Mario Bros., but just in case…
Development Cartridge for the DS hits Infendo. Mystery game to be previewed
While I can’t really mention what game it is or who the publisher is due to an embargo… I am glad to say that we have received a new game to preview in a very unlikely manner. While Infendo has reviewed and previewed games before; we have never really gotten a Dev Cartridge to test a game at our own leisure. Usually we go to events or mini developer parties, pretty much how most previe...
Nintendo Spotting – Triforce at my Trainstation!?
I was sitting at my local train station today while waiting for the train to school and I happened to notice something peculiar on the bottom of the door. I thought it was just frost or snow or something, but it actually turned out to be a little decal of the Triforce placed inside the glass. I was kind of freaked out because I was reflecting on how Zelda could progress on the hand held system aft...
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to My Past
For me, there is one video game that stands the test of time more than any other: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. As the subtitle is a crucial part to the game’s storyline, the game itself is a crucial link to my childhood, which largely consisted of Saturday morning cartoons, Wrestle Mania and weekend sleepovers. Not only were times much simpler for an 11 year old me, but the games...
This cutscene-heavy Metroid Other M trailer makes me sad
It’s a good thing Super Mario Galaxy 2’s trailer blew me away by oozing utter FUN when I saw it last week, because all these cutscene-laden, voice acted bits of fluff trickling out of the Team Ninja camp regarding Metroid Other M are really starting to damage my calm. Seriously, who spilled hammy, Final Fantasy angst and cinematics all over my Metroid franchise? Simply awful. No wonder...

Are we really satisfied with the Wii?
Are we really satisfied with the Wii? Should we be? Shouldn’t Nintendo be trying harder? It’s a question IGN’s Matt Casamassina brought up in his December editorial Nintendo is Lazy and You Don’t Care. Although not the only, or the main point in his editorial, Casamassina repeatedly cites both The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Super Mario Galaxy as the “epic...
