Infendo
Let’s Name The Super Smash Bros Roster!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vaO2WIUGUSA Even though some of Nintendo’s franchises are quite well known, some franchises don’t get the same exposure and love. Albeit some of these people being asked to answer who the characters were in the newest Smash Bros aren’t the most avid gamers. Some of the responses made definitely gave me a good chuckle, li...
Infendo Radio Episode 334: Thanksgiving Special!
Welcome to episode 334 of Infendo Radio, our Thanksgiving 2014 special! In this episode, Lewis, Colin, and myself (Holly Fellmeth) talk about what we’ve been playing (more Bayonetta 2 and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U), answer questions from listeners (amiibo and which Nintendo characters we would want to be for a day), and finish with a [very short] Thanksgiving feature: which games to we pla...
Patch notes: The awful state of industry
“A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.” These days, with the advent of the always connected console, Shigeru Miyamoto’s quote may not ring quite as true; but for my money, I certainly wish it still was. Just this last month I have been burned by numerous titles, that had they been released only a decade ago, would have been deemed broken and unplaya...
Majora’s Mask: Misunderstood Masterpiece or Overrated Oddity?
Last week’s Nintendo Direct has the Nintendo Universe buzzing with excitement, much of it stirred up by the announcement of the Majora’s Mask remake coming to the 3DS. While many are bouncing with excitement, others are cringing at the thought of tackling this franchise misfit again. All this brings us to an enormously debated question: Where does Majora’s Mask sit in the Zelda h...
Mario Kart 8 tourney night a success
The nine Mii characters you see listed above comprise almost everyone who participated in last night’s Mario Kart 8 tourney (minus a friend who played locally with me). Our numbers weren’t great, but there was plenty of fun to be had anyway. Kevin was the first to arrive, and others continued to join over the following hour or so. There were some great karting skills on display; Kevin,...

Pikmin Short Movies: 3D vs HD
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTnNdctBvtQ[/youtube] Nintendo has a habit of making demos or even full games available after Nintendo Direct streams. Wednesday’s broadcast was no exception. Right after the Direct came to a conclusion, players could go to the 3DS or Wii U eShop to purchase a unique set of short movies staring Pikmin for $4.99 each. Famed game designer Shigeru Miyamo...
Video: Stylish new trailer for Splatoon reveals single player mode
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EXKQQmm9EE[/youtube] During the Nov. 5 Nintendo Direct, we were treated to a look at Splatoon’s single player campaign. Even though the game focuses on frantic, 4-on-4 online battles, it will, as promised, also contain a single player mode. In it, the battle between squids and octopi rages. The player fights on the side of the squid, of course, and i...
Xenoblade Chronicles X will have “bigger world to explore” than in Xenoblade Chronicles
Ever since its announcement, Xenoblade Chronicles X (which was known only as “X” until E3 2014) has been my most looked forward to Wii U game, by far. That’s saying a lot, as Super Smash Bros. for Wii U was always high on the list too. Don’t take this as anything but my personal opinion! Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii was just so massive, with such a solid storyline and great ...

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLyKJo9bbl0[/youtube] Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is set to offer more Nintendo crossover goodness than players will know what to do with. The news-packed Nintendo Direct that streamed earlier today contained yet another trailer highlighting such a crossover: this time, it’s Mario and Luigi outfits for your *ahem* energetic little felyne companions. I&#...
