Retro Redux: NES Sidequest – DuckTales Remastered
Those of you who’ve been following the NES Quest from the beginning know that I started it by playing DuckTales. At that time, I already had an original NES copy of the game plus DuckTales Remastered downloaded to my Wii U. Yeah, I’m crazy that way: I often download games, only to hold off on playing them until months later. Well, what better time to play DuckTales Remastered than righ...
Infendo Radio Episode 328: Super Guide!
Welcome to episode 328 of Infendo Radio! A special welcome to any friends and family of myself, Harrison, Colin, Lewis, and other Infendo fans: this episode was made specifically with you in mind! In it, Harrison Milfeld, Colin Crompton, and myself discuss three main topics: questions from our friends and family about Nintendo, the company’s vast 125+ year history, and our thoughts on Super ...
Retro Redux: NES Quest – Updates, New Vote, and Refresher
The NES Quest continues to move forward, albeit at a rather slow pace. I tried to juggle several games over this last week: Hyrule Warriors, Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, and StarTropics. I’d say I’ve done an alright job, especially considering the other demands of life, which continue to bombard. So let’s not waste any time! Updates O...
Yep, it’s a thing: the “Name Holly’s Wii U Folders” contest is on!
Okay, so maybe what I’ve got here is a little boring. Note: Apologies in advance, but this contest is open to residents of the U.S. only! What clever Wii U folder names can you come up with in 17 characters or less? If you feel like you’re on to some good ones, don’t hold back! Join the official Infendo contest to name my Wii U folders! There’s even a fantastic prize for th...
Infendo Radio Episode 327: Greetings from Canadia
Welcome, everyone, to episode 327 of Infendo Radio. In this episode, we introduce a special addition to the podcast from “Canadia,” Justin Riley. He, Lewis, and I talk about what we’ve been playing (Hyrule Warriors and Bravely Default), cover Nintendo news (the Super Smash Bros. Open Tournament and Watch Dogs), and finish with a community comments/questions section (are todayR...
Wii U system update finally adds folders
An update that I feel is long overdue for the Wii U is now available. It adds the ability to create folders on the home screen, where you can store the games and apps downloaded to your system. This is a function the Nintendo 3DS has had for a while, hence my opinion that Nintendo has been a little slow on getting the Wii U equivalent up and running. Oh well. It’s here now. And at least the ...
Super Smash Bros. 3DS Open Tournament
At E3 we were treated to a thrilling Super Smash Bros. tournament. Now it’s your turn to compete. The “Super Smash Bros. 3DS National U.S. Tournament” has officially been announced. The open tournament will be held on October 4th, one day after the release. 15 GameStop locations across the U.S. and the Nintendo World Store in New York City (see below for locations) will host the ...
Epona will be a weapon for Link in Hyrule Warriors DLC
Who thought this would ever happen. Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma took to Miiverse to state: “Beyond that, additional downloadable content will become available in Hyrule Warriors after the game launches. The first DLC pack, Master Quest Pack, will be released on October 16. The details of that pack will be revealed soon, but today, let me give you a sneak peak at an additional weapon. The new weapon...
Retro Redux: NES Quest – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II Report Card
I’ve been holding off on this report card because I kept thinking, “Just gotta get one more person to play it with me!” Well, I’m here to say I did get someone new to play it with me, and in the most unexpected way imaginable! I work a part-time job as an English tutor in a town about 20 miles away. I spend essentially all day in this little college town every Wednesday, bu...
Hyrule Warriors review: Will it hack’n’slash its way into your Wii U?
Hyrule Warriors was announced during the 18th December Nintendo Direct, and even when it was first shown I was skeptical. I mean, how could a series known for its exploration and puzzle solving, combined with excellent dungeon design, maintain the same atmosphere when some of the elements that make the Zelda series what it is are removed? Let’s find out! Hyrule Warriors is a unique collabora...
Infendo Game Night: Mario Kart 8 Tourney Results
“It wasn’t perfect, but it was fun!” Those are my words in a Miiverse post from this morning. It pretty much summarizes how Infendo’s first official game night went. I feel like I didn’t properly explain “game night” yesterday. It was Lewis’s idea for us to try to have one night a week to play games and chat via Skype, without the pressure of recordi...
Infendo Game Night: Mario Kart 8
There are many reasons why an official Infendo tournament in Mario Kart 8 should take place: for one thing, it is long overdue. For another, it gives myself and the other Infendo crew members an excuse to play games with each other and with readers like you! We actually managed to pick a time that works fairly well for all of us, and that time is tonight, Tuesday the 23rd, starting at 6:00PM Pacif...
