Happy Birthday, old friend. Nintendo turns 125 today
Today is Nintendo’s 125th birthday. Time to celebrate. For many, we know the story of how a small Japanese hanafuda card company rose to prominence during the 1970s and 80s to become the gaming giant it is today. Fans and writers alike have seen the ups and downs the company has gone through, yet its characters and products still somehow resonate with the masses. It surely has been a wild ri...

For those of us in North America, Colin provides a grea...
Retro Redux: NES Quest – You don’t just beat NES games…or do you?
I know it’s been a while since the last update on NES Quest and even longer since the last report card, so this post is long overdue! First, a (very) brief update: I never did get around to playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II with a friend again, so that’s why I’ve been holding off on a report card. But I have had the time to play StarTropics, which is, of course, single play...

Review and More: Spikey Walls (Wii U eShop Download)

I’m going to “review” this game a little later. FIRST, some background information! I feel that it’s necessary, what with the long and very strange history...

I want to believe: Ridley in Smash Bros.
If you have been listening to Infendo Radio for the past year, you will know that with any mention of playable characters in the Wii U and 3DS versions of Super Smash Bros., I tend to grasp at straws for possible roster additions. Some have been true while others have been de-confirmed with the swift iron fist of Masahiro Sakurai himself. But, the one addition that I’ve been clamoring for wi...

Watch Dogs for Wii U finally has a release date
After what seems like an eternity, Ubisoft has finally revealed the release date for Watch Dogs on Nintendo’s latest system. The game will hit the Wii U in North America on the 20th of November, while it arrives in the UK a day later.
