Nintendo 3DS update available right now, includes 3D video recording

Give Mario Kart 7 a rest for awhile folks and start up your 3DS system update if you have a hankering for shooting some 3D video or stop-motion photography. Nintendo has just let loose a new 3DS system update, and with it a few new tricks up its sleeve. Aside from the ability to shoot up to ten minutes of 3D footage and create stop-motion photography, the system update also brings with it the abil...

Infendo PSA: Game ending glitch in Skyward Sword and how not to let it happen to you!

Nintendo has sent over what they have found to be a game ending bug found in the later stages of Skyward Sword, that unfortunately would require the player to reset his game and start from the beginning. After 25+ hours, if that would have happened to me I know I would be angry, so take the proper precautions to not let it happen to you! In the “Song of the Hero” quest, if the desert portion is c...

Review: Mario Kart 7 delivers incredible gameplay, the best Rainbow Road ever and one aggravating omission

Before playing Mario Kart 7 for the first time, keep your expectations realistic. This game doesn’t blow away Mario Kart DS or Mario Kart Wii, but instead stands confidently beside them as another great, vastly entertaining installment. It looks and sounds amazing, plays perfectly, and pulls some terrific tricks out of its sleeve, but in the end it’s 100% good old Mario Kart. It brings...

Wayward Nintendo fan buys Wii for first time, falls head over heels again

The following letter comes Infendo reader Verno, who until last week, hadn’t owned a Nintendo console since the Nintendo Entertainment System in the ’80s. He never left games’opting instead to play Xbox, PlayStation, and Sega hardware in that time. But man does he like Nintendo again. Not only that, his letter is a nice reminder of why most of us like Nintendo as much as we do. We just...

Nintentunes celebrates Mario Kart 7 so this week it’s an all racer edition!

There is no way that I am about to jump online with Mario Kart 7 tonight. Why you ask? Well embarrassment for one, and I usually like to finish the single player game first to get a feel for the tracks. Oh yeah, and I don’t want to get smoked ever single race.  In celebration of the launch of Mario Kart 7, this week Nintentunes will visit the wide world of racers on Nintendo consoles. I...

Nintendo of America changes it’s tone, Xenoblade finally officially announced for the US

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fSQOyb4qVs[/youtube] Nintendo of America has been insistent that the Wii and DS will continue to see support through 2012 and beyond, even as the shadow of Wii U looms larger then ever and 3DS continues to take sales away from DS. All of this sounds great and all, but the company has said time and time again that games that are already finished and released...

Mario Kart 7 is more Texan than you think!

It’s official: Retro Studios in Austin, Texas is one of the coolest places to work on the planet. Right after Retro had finished Donkey Kong Country Returns, Nintendo enlisted them for the next chapter of Mario Kart. Their involvement reached much deeper than merely designing a DKCR-based track: Retro ended up designing half the tracks and handling the character animation, among other creati...

Some love for the blue shell

Ah, the blue shell’gaming’s most infamous power-up. It makes grown men cry. It gives the worst player in the room a fighting chance. It punishes the skilled. And it’s pretty darn funny. On the eve of Mario Kart 7 Weekend, I’d like to stand up for the poor, misunderstood blue spiky thing (no, not you, Sonic) and show some appreciation for the weapon everyone hates unless they happ...

Resident Evil Revelations to be bundled with Circle Pad Pro…In Europe

There is nothing I would like more than to have more games to play on my 3DS. I have had one heck of a time recently with Super Mario 3D Land as it has showed me just how much fun the little 3D machine really is. Ever since I got my hands on the demo of Resident Evil Revelations back in June, I have been clamoring to get my hands on a retail copy of the game, and it looks like it may come with a l...

Super fandom: Minecrafters recreate Super Mario Land with 18 million blocks
