Review: Mario and Sonic win the gold…for bizarre gameplay
The 3DS edition of Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games hit store shelves last month. Mediocre initial review scores made me wary, but I did enjoy the eShop demo, so I finally caved and bought the cartridge. To be blunt: If you want great gameplay from a recent release, buy Resident Evil: Revelations or spend a few bucks to download Pushmo or Sakura Samurai. There’s truly only one reas...
Assassin’s Creed 3 will be available on Wii U, is this a sign of things to come?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVUMPrv8oRw&hd=1 [/youtube] It’s little details such as this that makes me think that Wii U could have a fantastic line up of games come the systems launch. Along with releasing for the usual Xbox 360/PS3/PC combo of systems, this fall Assassin’s Creed 3 will also come to Wii U this Fall. Set during the American Revolutionary War, Assassin’s Creed ...
Would New Games for Old Systems Really Be That Bad?
Recently, Dan posted an article about a new Super Nintendo game in development. As I read the article I felt a chill of excitement run down my spine and started thinking, would this really be a bad idea if it continued? I know that a lot of people out there will be against it. They will tell us that Emulators and downloads from the console specific stores are their choice of playing games from o...
Nintentunes: the best bleeps and bloops around
Another Sunday, another edition of Nintentunes, the weekly journey down video game music memory lane. To me, music is one of the most underappreciated aspects of video games, and deserves its just as much as the visuals and gameplay mechanics. This week the worlds game is played by an unlikely robot, Mario picks up a tennis racket for the first time, and the first (and only) of the Capcom Five hit...
There’s only one way Super Mario Bros. could have been better. By adding a portal gun.

The just released Super Mario Bros. and Portal crossover game dubbed Mari0 is pretty amazing stuff.

Mario Kart 7 Community News: March Edition
Not a lot of activity in the community this month, aside from the fact that I swear everyone’s getting exponentially better every week.

So let’s get to the current community standings: 3DS LUIGI$ sits in first place with 163 points. Lord Lemmy has claim...
Resident Evil: Revelations may not be the last RE on 3DS. Would you buy another one?
If you have been listening to Infendo Radio you would know that I loved Resident Evil: Revelaitons Revelations. It is wonderful to have a meaty experience on the handheld that can suck you in for hours on end, or until the battery dies, whatever comes first. As a longtime fan of the Resident Evil series, I can honestly say that Revelations is right up there with Resident Evil 2 as one of my favori...
I’m Sorry, I Can’t Come To Work Today, I Hurt Myself Playing Nintendo!
When I mention “Nintendo Thumb”, all of the old school gamers know what I am talking about. The symptoms are the blistering, paraesthesia and swelling of the thumbs, mainly through use of the use o the directional pad. As much as I love the classic Nintendo controller, it was actually pretty dangerous for gamers. It was not ergonomic, and its boxy, hard edges put a lot of strain on y...

Most Difficult Boss?
We all hate to admit defeat, and I especially loathe to lose. But I have to admit something that I am not proud of. In fact, I am ashamed of. I have never defeated any of the “Weapon” bosses in Final Fantasy. Ruby Weapon, Emerald Weapon, Omega Weapon, etc… Feel free to take away my Gamer card…I will surrender it peacefully It is not that I haven’t tried, in fact e...
