Etrian Odyssey III: The Combat System
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qM2EUBOjRis[/youtube] If you are familiar with dungeon crawling games and the various dangerous F.O.E.’s waiting to get you, and by F.O.E.’s I mean all manner of creatures, creepy crawlies, and monsters await you on and beneath and above the water off the coast of Armoroad. Any adventurer knows they will need to be prepare and spend a lot of time...
Rant: “Filmmakers”
The only way you will ever hear me say that a “movie mode” in Metroid Other M is a “good idea” is if Team Ninja has also installed an option that allows me to play the game without any cutscenes or cheesy voice acting whatsoever. Unbelievable. I mean, really, really unbelievable. An August release date make total sense now. This game is forgotten by Christmas. I’m ang...
What if… Mega Man Universe was this?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=begnDoEd_l0[/youtube] This fan made game based on the Mega Man universe has surfaced on the net. It’s a pretty interesting example of what we believe Mega Man Universe might be so I thought I’d share it with the rest of you. Also, Ryu would be the the hardest boss in Mega Man history if this was real.
Fractured Soul, Genre Redefining?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqCQCg95_2I[/youtube] This little trailer ended up in my e-mail box along with a plea to help them find a game publisher. So while it’s awesome, it doesn’t exactly mean it’s coming out on the DS anytime soon. However, the game elements are very unique and well done for a weird game that transcends both basic side scrolling platforming and s...
How are the graphics?
These HTML5 landscapes are beautiful. As always, it’s not how many colors you use, or how many polygons or processing power or anything of the sort. It’s how you use the tools and your creativity that makes a great game. Always has been, always will be. And let’s continue to be unafraid to use color in our video games, shall we developers? P.S. – They move. Click the link.
The Nintendo 3DS will be $189 (titles for $40?)
So September’s the big month for 3DS. Pricing, release date, Reggie Fils-Aime jumping out of a big Nintendo is King cake just like that douche Lebron James and all will be right with the world. Or will it? Rumors and speculation have the price for this genuinely industry-energizing device fluctuating wildly, anywhere from $129 all the way up to a suicidal $300. My guess? $179 to $199, but pr...
Metroid: Other M story trailer leaves us aching for English translation
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRMBerJtJjM[/youtube] One of the most exciting changes coming to the world of Metroid is the focus on Story. Thanks to a new trailer, Japan gets a sneak peak at the characters in Samus’ new adventure. The rest of us? We’ll just have to be content with the visuals, and wait for an English version. Our hero’s voice is a little higher pitc...
3DS price and release date coming in September
Engadget is reporting that Nintendo has announced that they are going to be making an announcement sometime in September. What does this mean? The short and long of it is that a Nintendo representative told Bloomberg Japan the retail price and release date of the Nintendo 3DS would be revealed on September 29th. What does this mean? Not much, but we can always speculate: For instance, the DSi was ...

Infendo Radio: Sean finds an empty studio
Okay guys, let’s get started! Alexis? Will? Guys? Oh. I see how it is, tell Sean we’re doing something fun in the Infendo recording studio, and then sneak off into the city to party it up without him. Look at these text messages and voice-mails! Parties? On the run from the KGB? You guys never invite me! Fine, I can have fun all by myself. I’ve got my DS, my Wii, and this...
