Infendo Review: The Waterfield Cityslicker Switch Case
It’s not often that you find something that you couldn’t live without, especially while thinking that you didn’t actually need it. I felt this way before I first laid my hands on the Switch, and I felt that way about owning a case for my Switch before I laid my hands on the Waterfield CitySlicker. The folks at Waterfield we’re kind enough to send Infenfo a CitySlicker case over for review, a...
Infendo Review: Nintendo Switch
Sitting upon my desk daring me to never finish this review is my now two week old Nintendo Switch. This $300 piece of tech is one of the only things that will get me into a Walmart at 12 AM on a work night, and what a beautiful piece of tech it is. Included in the box is the Joy-Con (L) and (R), Nintendo Switch Dock, Joy?Con Wrist Straps, Joy?Con Grip, an HDMI Cable, Nintendo Switch AC Adapter, an...

What is Mario’s REAL Obsession with Coins and Casinos?
While waiting for school to start today, I sat half-awake and had a thought come to me. Mario collects more coins in a single level than I get in a month’s salary. What does he need them for; he lives in a modest house outside of the Mushroom Kingdom? Then I asked myself, “does gambling exist in the Mushroom Kingdom? Does Mario spend his nights at the casino with Bowser?” Maybe he’s like me and sp...
Nintendo’s surprising history in gambling
Gambling in Japan is not yet legal, at least not in the general sense. Horse racing and pachinko machines are a dime a dozen, But you won’t see any casinos in the Land of the Rising Sun, at least not yet. In December 2016, the Japanese parliament passed a new law that opens the door to the gambling industry, and a potential $30 billion a year industry. That isn’t to say that the Japane...

There only exists one game in InfendoLand this week, and we are all bursting at the seams to discuss Breath of the Wild!

Online Bingo Is Cooler than Many Realize
Nintendo soon became much greater than a single gaming system — it has formed the basis for more than one generation of people who pursue communal experiences related to their favourite game titles. Although players do have loyalty to the Nintendo brand and technologies, as we know the console marketplace has grown to include other gaming ecosystems. But arguably the enthusiasts of all these platf...

The Evolution of Retro Gaming – Then and Now!
Retro gaming. It is the playing of classic consoles, video games and arcade machines that have long since been discontinued. In the UK these people are called ‘retro gamers’ and elsewhere they are referred to as ‘classic gamers’ or ‘old school gamers’. Either way the end result is the same; a love of retro gaming. To describe a gaming experience as retro can be pretty subjective with consoles alwa...
Nintendo’s New Audience: Building a Player Profile
First impressions matter. Nintendo has been the family-friendly choice for gaming since 1983’s NES (the Family Computer or “Famicom” in Japan) and that idea has persisted through the past few console generations – but is there any truth to it? Is Nintendo still the domain of everybody who can hold a controller or is it time for the brand to double down on the millennials? Senior Citizens Mak...
