Dillon’s Rolling Western now available in eShop
This morning’s Nintendo Direct video featured a pleasant surprise for fans of the company’s original 3DS eShop games: Dillon’s Rolling Western is available for purchase right now. First impressions: It looks great, controls well, and the gameplay’s fun. The terrific main character is saddled (not literally) with an incredibly annoying sidekick/helper. One concern is the lou...
Apple Announces Pokemon Yellow Was a Fake
iPhone users and Pokemon fans alike were excited to see the launch of Pokemon Yellow for the iOs. It was so popular that in just two days it soared to number two on the paid app charts! At the low price of $0.99 US it was a steal! The problem, though, is that it is a fake. The game was developed by House of Anime and described as “just like the original”. Once the app was installed...
Poll – Should Nintendo change the name of Wii U?
Who knows if Nintendo will say anything about its name today, but I’m curious: {democracy:165} [UPDATE] Nintendo didn’t announce a new name for the Wii U, nor did they even mention it during today’s video press release. Anyway, I think Villa’s comment below really nails the need for a new name since I also still meet people who don’t know how good of a brand-new handh...
Rumor: Nintendo executives meet with top content providers to provide video content for Wii U
To say that Nintendo has been slow to get up to speed in the online space is an understatement. Just look at their history. Nintendo’s first move actually came on the Super Famicom with the Satellaview, a satellite modem add-on only available in Japan. The system was developed to receive broadcast signals from a satellite TV station during a fixed time-slot, effectively allowing for subscription b...
Nintendo invites gamers to Nintendo Direct via Spotpass. What would you like to see them announce?
Hope you don’t have any plans tomorrow at 7AM MST, Reggie might be mad if you don’t accept his invitation to the Nintendo Direct video press conference. The last Nintendo Direct conference was frankly somewhat disappointing, but we did learn about a few demos that would be coming down the pipeline and got a few new video reels for upcoming games. I imagine this time we can expect more of the same,...
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...
Nintentunes: Kinda late edition
So weekends should be all about rest, right? Yeah, tell that my life. Soccer to coach, work to…work at, laundry to do. No rest for the weary, right? On the bright side, I was able to squeeze out a Nintentunes post for all to enjoy. This week we take a journey to the deadliest of towers, go golfing with Kirby, and even take a trip to space! Click on through to enjoy the great music!
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 ...
