Infendo at Tokyo Game Show
Today I was fortunate enough to spend the day at Makuhari Messe International Convention center in Chiba Japan for the last day of Tokyo Game Show. Since I only had one day on the floor I wasn’t able to cover every major title, but in the coming hours I will be posting my hands-on impressions of all the DS and Wii games I could get my hands on in a single afternoon. Tomorrow I might also be ...
Limited edition Kirby DS Lite on Ebay
Infendo Nation loves itself some Kirby! Judging by the number of tipsters, there’s an underground Kirby movement just waiting to happen. Anyway, a site called Albotas tipped the world off to an Australian Ebay auction for a limited edition Kirby DS Lite. Clicking over, I had hoped to see a bubble-gum pink DS with cute eyes and rosy cheeks. Sad to say, it’s just a standard white...
Super Mario Galaxy – new art
New art for Super Mario Galaxy was released today. Featured are Mario in bee and boo costumes, as well as a new character to the franchise. Identified by Famitsu as Princess Rosetta, no word has been given as to what role she will play in the game. Will Super Mario Galaxy be an instant mega-hit for Nintendo? Or will it get lost in an extremely crowded Holiday shopping season? Flip past the jump fo...
Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn box art
This one goes out to all the Fire Emblem fans out there. Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn is released on November 5th, 2007. Anyone here excited for Fire Emblem’s Wii debut?
Nintendo details Wii Zapper, Link’s Crossbow
(Press release) – Link returns from The Legend of Zelda®: Twilight Princess to pick up the Wii Zapper and take aim at a host of targets in this shooting-gallery-style game. Anyone can pick up the Wii Zapper and become a master marksman in the quick-play shooting galleries of Link’s Crossbow Training. Dozens of fast-paced stages offer a wide variety of game play, from shooting stationa...
How would you remake Kid Icarus?
I don’t know if it’s due to a lazy Friday afternoon, or because people were discussing Retro Studios next big move earlier today in David’s post on Infendo or what, but today I started thinking about how a developer would go about remaking Kid Icarus. At first, for some crazy reason, I imagined a FPS, but that quickly died out. It wouldn’t make any sense, as I would want to...
Tomorrow in Tokyo
If you are a regular game-blog reader, you may have noticed posts popping up here and there about the Tokyo Game Show in Makuhari (which is actually NOT in Tokyo) this weekend. Well I couldn’t get in for the two industry days (Thurs-Fri), but tomorrow and Sunday they’re letting anybody in! The place is sure to be a complete zoo, with hours of waiting to play the big games of next seaso...
Metroid developers promise fans “won’t be dissapointed” with next project
Retro gave an awesome interview to MTV about Metroid Prime 3, as well as some teasers for their next project. [The developers] and the rest of Retro are already focused on their next project, which is not another “Metroid Prime” game. What is it? They’re coy. But some Retro fans have pondered the studio going casual and making the kinds of games Nintendo’s Japan studios are...
Snake explodes onto Smash Bros Dojo site, pwns Ike
A trio of updates hit the Smash Bros Dojo site today and they’re all about Snake. His main character page features some beautiful renders of his character having some fun with Ike and Mario. Another entry shows us all of his special moves. The third entry shows off his theme song and teases us with a mention of a Metal Gear Solid themed stage. The special moves look like fun, all of whic...
DS Arkanoid paddle spins into NEW GAME GET territory
Accessories on the whole are usually a mixed bag. The Wii Zapper, for example, is shaping up to be a pale shadow of the original accessory from which it takes its namesake. The Nyko Wii Party Station on the other hand? Crazy awesome fun. So when I first saw that Taito would be releasing an Arkanoid DS paddle that mimics the old school arcade joystick, I was on the fence (Japan only, so far). But n...
Movie Review – The King Of Kong
Infendo Newsletter editor, Chris, reviews the recent documentary The King Of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters I live in a fairly unknown town in the Midwest. When a movie, such as The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, gets such a limited release, it would probably not be showing anywhere near my town. So surprised I was to find that for one weekend only, a theater nearby would be showing this movie....
Wii BINGO
I discovered this gem of a WiiWare game waiting to happen when perusing Malstrom’s secret web site yesterday evening. It’s something to bide your time as you wait for titles like Galaxy or Smash Bros. or even Dewy’s Adventure to hit your system. It’s Wii BINGO! Before you roll your eyes, just hit the jump and see what this is *really* all about.
