Will you miss the rumble in the Starfox 64 remake?
Do you remember the first time you experienced the N64 Rumble Pak? In 1997 I walked into EB Games to find the manager demonstrating his imported Starfox 64 (due in the States two months later). I joined the line of customers eager to give it a whirl, and soon found myself flying over Corneria and grinning as the controller shook, buzzed and rattled with every hit. The effect was great fun, and the...

Rayman Origins could just be this holiday’s sleeper hit
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLgXYSa1eLw[/youtube]When booting up the Nintendo Wii, it is a given that you won’t be getting HD visuals and huge polygon counts when compared to other gaming machines on the market. These limitations breed innovation, however, and this is shown of magnificently with Rayman Origins for Wii and 3DS. The hand-drawn art direction that Ubisoft has taken f...
The Legend of Zelda Four Swords goes free next month on the eShop

That title is Link’s first multiplier adventure The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, the GBA add-on to The Link to the Past.

Off-topic: This science fiction demotivation poster is all sorts of funny
I understand this has been floating around message boards for a while, but I still chuckled upon seeing it. Have a great weekend, everyone.
Knowing Tekken will include a 3D feature film, are you more likely to buy?
Right now the internet’s buzzing about Namco Bandai’s upcoming 3DS fighter Tekken 3D Prime Edition. No release date yet, but most talk centers around the company’s decision to include its recent feature film Tekken: Blood Vengeance on the cartridge in full 3D. As a guy who enjoys Tekken and loves 3D movies (well, good movies that happen to be in 3D), I’m suddenly interested...
Zelda Skyward Sword coming Nov. 20 to Wii
Nintendo just announced it today via press release, calling it “the biggest game in the series yet.” I call it one last hoorah for Wii. UPDATE: !!!!
New Wii incoming, and it isn’t Wii U
Eurogamer is reporting that the Nintendo Wii is about to get a face lift this holiday season. In what is most likely a cost cutting measure, the new Wii will no longer have Gamecube support and will not have ports for Gamecube controllers and memory cards. The redesigned Wii will be designed to lay flat as apposed to standing up straight (which is already possible with the current Wii) and will ...
Is Hideo Kojima hinting at a new Zone of the Enders for 3DS?
Kojima Productions is not a development house that Nintendo fans are used to hearing about; after all most of the titles to come out of the studio belong to the Metal Gear series, a franchise that only has one title (Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes) on a Nintendo platform in the post-NES era. In the beginning of the PS2 era the studio created a new franchise built around giant mech combat in Zon...

This is the story that put Infendo on the map
Here it is, in all its glory. The image was said to be a conceptual marketing ad sent to Infendo in June of 2005. Notice the accuracy of the Wii outline, including undertones of “thinking” i.e. playing outside the box. The backstory was featured on this week’s episode of Infendo Radio. Listen in, if you haven’t already. (Oh, and by map, I really mean niche game blog linked-...
