Infendo PSA: If you live in New York, get your butt to Times Square this Saturday
So Nintendo knows that the release of any Mario title is kind of a big deal, and when Super Mario 3D Land releases this Sunday, they plan on turning Times Square into a Mario themed obstacle course to celebrate. I don’t usually care for big cities, what with all the pollution ludicrously high taxes, but it’s days like these that I wish I could live in a city like New York. Nintendo be ...
Miyamoto experimenting with 2D Zelda, may be bringing it to 3DS
A Link to the Past was the first game in the Zelda franchise that make me a lifelong fan of everything Hyrule. Sure, I had played the NES Legend of Zelda titles, but there was just something about the depth found the in SNES classic that really hit a homerun in my book. From the muli-leveled dungeons, to the collect-a-thon that was the 24 hidden pieces of heart, A Link to the Past had so much to o...
After first two dates, Zelda Skyward Sword overcomes most of its initial flaws
Zelda Skyward Sword starts slower than any other Zelda in recent memory. In fact, it took two dates with her before I decided I wanted to keep dating.Â
Which bit-player in the Mario universe would you like to see more of?
Four days ’till Super Mario 3D Land! That gives us plenty of time to discuss deep, important issues such as… Of all the weird, crazy minor characters that have taken part in Mario’s surreal adventures, which one deserves more appearances? I have several favorites: The Bob-omb King, The Pianta Street Vendor, any of the Lava Hippos…
This Zelda reminiscing will make you smile
Great essay by Game Informer’s Jeff Cork on struggling to find a copy of the Legend of Zelda in 1987.
If this bullshot is real, it looks fantastic
New Zelda clone coming to iOS next year. The game, called Oceanhorn, is being made by an unknown Finnish developer. Still, provided they can get the animation and gameplay right, this could be a lot of fun’certainly something we may one day see on the Infendo Entertainment System. (Thanks, Mark)
Super Mario 3D Land offers two different 3D views for gameplay
In the final weeks of game development, the team behind Super Mario 3D Land took a look at the nearly-finished Mariokart 7, liked what they saw, and promptly altered the way you experience 3D in their platformer.
Mario Week! Which depiction of Mario is your favorite?
Super Mario 3D Land arrives in six days! My 3DS is practically crying tears of joy. As we wait, take a look back at the various versions of Mario Nintendo’s presented over the years and tell us your personal favorite. I’ll bet you won’t agree with my pick! I’ve grouped the many, many different Marios into seven categories, throwing in two non-game options because they repre...
Is anyone playing Pokémon Rumble Blast?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEsJlZh3VWU[/youtube] We have a fair share of Pokémon fans around here, so I’m curious if anyone is playing Pokémon Rumble Blast? It’s rare that I don’t grab a first-party Nintendo game when it comes out, especially for 3DS, so I’m just wondering what folks think of this game now that it’s been out for a few weeks.
Nintentunes would like to remind you that Skyward Sword is only 14 days away
It seems that not much attention is being given to what will perhaps be one the best games in the franchise by the mainstream gaming media with other big name titles dropping such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, but rest assured that we here at Infendo are chomping at the bit to get our hands on the game. In fact, if given the opportunity to play the game of rece...

Mario Kart 7 doesn’t have a colon
Mario Kart 7 is the first numbered edition of this game. The other six entries in this series don’t carry a numerical indicator, just a name, colon, or game system name. Mario Kart for GameCube was fun because some people just referred to it as Double Dash, but the DS and Wii versions just tacked the respective system’s name onto the title. So why did Nintendo choose to call this editi...
