A little Zelda music to go with your turducken on Thanksgiving mayhaps?
Gerudo Valley by Shag If you are enjoying Skyward Sword as much as we here at Infendo have been, you might like to know of a little project that hip hop artist going by the name of Shag has compiled. All of the tracks are music found in Ocarina of Time, but I find them extremely easy on the ear as I explore Skyloft and area below the clouds. Man am I enjoying Skyward Sword. Nothing beats a little...
Review: Give Skyward Sword a little break, Rayman Origins is one of the most charming games of the year
Rayman Origins is by far and away one of the most pleasant surprises of 2011. Who knew that the franchise that went from a side-scrolling platformer in 1995, to a mini-game collection in 2006 would come back full circle to deliver one of the finest platformering games in existence. Coming from a Nintendo fan who grew up with Mario titles such as Super Mario 3 and Super Mario World, this pra...
What are your holiday Nintendo traditions?
Infendo’s Derek has played Zelda: Ocarina of Time at least once a year ’ sometimes twice ’ since the game’s debut in 1998. “All told, I’ve probably beat it 20 times,” he says. “It’s my favorite game, although admittedly it’s also a nostalgic ritual.” Derek didn’t say what time of the year he returns to this ritual, but I suspect it happen...
If I was a kid, I know what I’d put on my Christmas list
I remember hearing, months, ago, that K’nex was releasing a line of Mariokart Wii sets. Apparently, they’ve been out for a while. But I’d never actually seen them in person until I stopped by Target’s toy section after picking up my copy of Skyward Sword at 8:00 Sunday morning. Chain Chomps! Thwomps! Multiple expansion packs! If these had been around when I was a kid, I wou...
When’s the last time you stopped to take in a video game while playing?
I’m just under 35 hours in Zelda: Skyward Sword. My best guess says I’m 60% finished and there is substantial road still ahead. Hundreds of miles worth, considering all the side missions and extra treasure I still want to pursue. Simply put, I have never been this interested in a single player game for this long. Never. Not even close — not in my 27 years as a gamer. I want to se...
If anyone needs me, I’m busy playing the greatest single player game ever
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. An hour in, hard-to-please players like myself will be a little underwhelmed, but things quickly pick up in the second hour. By hour five, you’ll know you’re playing something special. By hour seven, you’ll know you’re playing one of the best Zeldas of all time. By hour 10, you’ll know you’re playing the best Zelda ever. By ho...
Nintendo commissions real-life Mario Karts to publicize game
Looking good. More photos after the break.
Remixed Kirby looks sharp on eShop
Aren’t Nintendo holiday seasons great? The first-party fun kicked off last week with the amazing Freakyforms, continued through the masterpiece Super Mario 3D Land, added a 3D Kirby (well, 3D 2D) today, and continues steamrolling toward Skyward Sword this Sunday and Mariokart 7 in December! Not to mention that there should be some announcement very soon about those ten free GBA games for Amb...
Zelda Skyward Sword: Best dungeons ever?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZsK69PtuZ0[/youtube] Not quite halfway in and Zelda: Skyward Sword is already trending as one of my favorite Zeldas ever. Depending on how it pans out ’ and I’m definitelly in it to win it ’ I’d rank it on par with A Link to the Past, Ocarina, Wind Waker, and Minish Cap’my current favs. It’s certainly more inventive and better than Twiligh...
Nintendo goes 7 of 8 on consoles: Newest Zelda latest to reach upper ’90 rating
With exception to Zelda II, the black sheep of the series, Nintendo has never released a Zelda game for consoles that went on to score less than a 95 in aggregate reviews. In fact, seven of a total eight console Zeldas have scored a rare 95 average or higher. Skyward Sword for Wii, currently at 95/100, is no exception. Simply put, the game is worthy of its nominally hot score. It’s quickly ...
Nintendo partnering with EA for Wii U online?
Nintendo knows online multiplayer as well as Microsoft knows original games. In other words, not much. Which is why the former is reportedly working with EA to have them power Wii U’s online multiplayer and digital distribution. “An anonymous source, claiming to be working within Electronic Arts, says that the company is in talks to make Origin, EA’s digital games distribution pl...
