“What if Zelda was a girl?”
All right, put away your torches and pitchforks. Yes, I realize Zelda is the princess, and therefore a girl; and the hero is Link, a boy. But the question is, why? When the most recent Zelda game, Tri-Force Heroes, was first shown at E3 2015, there was clearly an option to dress Link in Zelda’s clothes. This led to speculation that there may be the option for Link to be a girl. This turned o...

Well, that’s about to change, beca...

The (Once and) Future King: Part 2
Read the first part of this article here. It has been a rocky couple of decades for Nintendo. Going into the mid-’90s, they were at the top of their game. The Super Famicom/Nintendo Entertainment System was a huge success, and their key franchises were ubiquitous within the industry — but then they hit a snag. Minor missteps, like the Mortal Kombat controversy, and major ones, like the Virtu...

The Once (and Future) King
Most of us here at Infendo probably remember a time when Nintendo dominated the gaming market; a time when the name “Nintendo” was synonymous with video games; a time when Atari was dead and (literally) buried, Sega was just an insignificant blip on the radar, and companies like Microsoft and Sony were nowhere near the industry. Fast forward to today, and the king is a ghost of its for...
