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 ...
What to expect from Nintendo this year
2011 was one heck of a roller coaster ride for Nintendo fans, wouldn’t you say? After coming off what I still consider to be one of the top five games to be released on Wii in Donkey Kong Country Returns at then end of 2010, Wii owners were left with little to nothing new to play until the release of Skyward Sword. Sure there were titles to fill the void such as Conduit 2, de Blob 2, and Kir...
More on Zelda HD, the “HUD-less” version
I love this: Zelda HD (at CES this week) is the same tech demo we got at E3 last year, but it still has us clamoring for an actual game with these graphics and features. The coolest part is how the TV screen is completely HUD-less. Hearts, items and the mini-map all show up on the Wii U controller and it all looks absolutely gorgeous. It makes me wonder if HUDs should die once and for all.
3DS loses its training wheels and upgrades to a kickstand. Or something like that.
So Kid Icarus: Uprising has had a pretty rough game development cycle to say the least. What started off as a 3DS launch title has since been delayed numerous times and is now slated for a March release. In my hands on with the game it was easy to see how fun the game could be, but there was one glaring problem witht the game. Playing it was simply not comfortable. Nintendo seems poised to address...

Hands-on with “impressive” Wii U controller
Via Ars Technica, who was a bit frustrated by the lack of new information: The new controller is an impressive thing to hold in your hands. It feels solid and comfortable, and nothing about it marks it as a weak link. The screen itself is bright and beautiful, much clearer than the screen on an iPad, and even small details of the games are able to be seen clearly. The controller’s speakers a...
