Get your 8-bit Mario in Pushmo form right here!
I’m rather engrossed in the puzzle creation tool in Pushmo right now. This week I have another character puzzle for you. It’s the plumber we all know and love in all his 8-bit glory: Mario! I placed a three-star difficulty rating on this puzzle, but when you’re the creator, it’s hard to know whether your rating is accurate. So my question for those of you who download and p...
Arts and Crafts with NES!
We have all had an NES, SuperNes, Gameboy, or another game that for some reason just quit working. Whether it is repairable, or just not worth your time to repair, there are many alternatives to throwing away those old cartridges. Since one of my other articles was a bit more serious, I thought we could take a look at some of these nifty craft ideas that you can do. And don’t forget to rep...
New Kid Icarus: Uprising Trailer has me excited about the game again
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJMfgBlg6qY&hd=1[/youtube] Ever since E3 last, I have been skeptical of Kid Icarus: Uprising. The controls just didn’t seem quite right and the voice acting left a lot to be desired. This new trailer for the game, however, has got me wanting to play the game, and may even get me to put money down for a preorder. Not sure what it is about the traile...
$13,000.00 NES on Storage Wars?
By now, all of you have probably seen this little Gem from Storage wars. Obviously, the $13,000.00 NES that he saw online included a NIB copy of Stadium Events. Or possibly, someone was as gullible as him? Either way, finding a NES is always like finding treasure, even if it does not work. I bet if he heads over to Nintendosforsale.com he could buy a new power adapter to get that bad boy up a...

Airing of Grievances: Nintendo Version
We all love Nintendo, but we all have things about Nintendo that have either driven us crazy in the past or are driving us crazy now. So lets hear it from the intelligent Infendo community. If you were running the company what would you change first? What is Nintendo doing wrong?
Nintendo 3DS Favored by Developers over Vita
In an unexpected twist there is a growing trend by developers to invest more efforts into the 3DS and ditch Sony’s new handheld system. This would buck the tradition of game developers moving to the newest big thing and focusing on a previously released system. The Japanese newspaper Nikkei is reporting that game developers are disappointed with the Vita, which has had a sluggish start with ...
Kingdom Hearts 3D may be coming sooner than we originally thought
Being a North American gamer was once such a hassle. Before western game developers became so prominent in the console space, most of the games available on home consoles came from Japanese development houses which ment long delays between a Japanese and a Western game release. Just look at Final Fantasy VII. The Japan to North American release window was a good 8 months, and that’s for one of the...
How to Repair a Bad NES Pin Connector
I think we can all agree that we love the NES, but at the ripe age of 27 it isn’t getting any younger. Every time we blow in the cartridge and anxiously insert it into the system it could be the final time that we show the console some love. The build up of dust, stray bug pieces and other unknown substances can wreak havoc on the inner system. Not to mention the constant opening and clos...
