Have you played the Resident Evil demo?
Free demo downloads are a welcome, much-needed addition to the 3DS world, and Resident Evil: Revelations is a great, high-profile debut for the feature. I haven’t played a Resident Evil title since the days of horrible d-pad controls, so this was a pleasant surprise for me. I was very impressed with the look and sound of the game (loved the 3D fog effect) and the gameplay itself felt smooth....
I think I have a problem, I’m pretty sure that I’m going to be buying Rayman Origins for a 3rd time.
More Rayman Origins Videos So I have already played and beating Rayman Origins three times, on two different consoles. I simply love the game and think the experience is far and away the best platforming game of this console generation (sorry New Super Mario Bros. Wii). Ubisoft simply has done something amazing with the UbiArt Framework, and the game benefits tremendously from it. Now that the 3DS...
Sequel glut driving players away from consoles to more “original” games on iOS?
That’s what Gamaustrua analyst Matt Matthews suspects: The second point (of last year’s annual console sales) brings out is just how sequel-driven the top end of the market has become. Every game, with exception of Just Dance 2 and Batman: Arkham City is a sequel several times over. I’m just now beginning to try to follow the mobile/tablet gaming market, and while many of the g...
Every good rhythm game needs a broccoli cooking mini-game…right?
If you’re anything like me, Rhythm Thief & the Emperor’s Treasure is a game that could easily ruin a few relationships. I can see myself playing this game for days. DAYS! I’m a simple man, I like my rhythm games guitar & drum free, with plenty of whimsy on the side. Check out the trailer for the game, and let us know if this game is on you’re radar. I know I’l...
Free demos coming to 3DS this week
Yippee! Starting Thursday, Nintendo will begin offering free downloadable demos for 3DS, reports USA Today. The first demos to appear on the eShop will include Resident Evil: Revelations, Mario & Sonic at the London Olympics, Rayman Origins and Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D. Free gameplay is always a good thing, however limited. What do you think of the news?
Yeah, Super Mario Crossover 2.0 is the only game I want to play right now.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lE1K9yNDNA8&feature=youtu.be [/youtube]The original Super Mario Crossover was fantastic, and I’m ashamed to admit how many hours of my life I have sunk into playing it. If you haven’t played it, basically introduces other video game characters into the world of Mario, and quite frankly, it is absolutely remarkable. Now take that premise, and ...

How have I never heard of Code of Princess before? My 3DS NEEDS this game.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yna-d_evfp0&feature=youtu.be [/youtube] I have never heard of Code of Princess before I caught this Youtube video the other day, but now I want it, boy do I want it. The game looks to be a beat ’em up with some pretty fantastic design work from Kinu Nishimura of Street Fighter fame. The game is from developer Agatsuma Entertainment, and hasn’...
Besides Game Over and Super Mario, what other Nintendo books are there?
Infendo reader Jason emailed the following question last week: I just finished reading Super Mario by Jeff Ryan and I enjoyed it just as much as I enjoyed David Sheffs’ Game Over. A few years ago ( I’m currently 37) I realized that I more of a fan of Nintendo than I am of video games. With that said, are there any other non-fiction books about the big N that you could recommend? As for...
Reptile is this week’s Nintentunes biggest fan
Remember when you were a wee little child and asked your parents for a dog but you couldn’t have one because of your little sisters allergies and were given a pet lizard instead? This week’s edition of Nintentunes is dedicated to that as it is an all reptile edition. This week we will go dinosaur hunting, eat sewer pizza, and even talk to our reptile mayors in the city. Join us, and as...
Zen Pinball Review: 3D brings new life to an old genre
The eShop’s climb to excellence continues; Zen Pinball is amazingly good, combining great gameplay with a lifelike presentation only 3DS can deliver. Many of today’s gamers have never played a real, hand-built pinball machine, but I grew up near a terrific pinball arcade where gaming nights involved staring down through glass cabinet tops (marred by old cigarette ashes and drinking gla...
Infendo’s Kart Community meets tonight!
Infendo’s growing community of Mario Kart 7 racers, created by Kart-Racer Extraordinaire Holly, meets tonight at 7:00 P.M. U.S. Eastern. The code is: 20-1691-6700-3942. Last week’s meet had a great turnout! I arrived too late to join Holly’s group, but was able to enter one of the three groups playing. I raced through several cups, challenging some of our finest readers, and (as ...
