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...
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...
Infendo Radio Episode 326: Forgotten Gems
Hey all! Welcome to episode 326 of Infendo Radio! In this episode, Harrison Milfeld, Colin Crompton, and myself talk about what we’ve been playing (Hyrule Warriors, Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, and Fire Emblem: Awakening) and finish on a feature about obscure or forgotten, but great, games on past Nintendo systems. 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...
Video: Animal Crossing outfits for Felynes in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g47IClF-L94[/youtube] Back in July, Capcom confirmed that Link-inspired equipment would be included in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Now the developer has released a trailer showing off “outfits” for the player’s Felyne companions that resemble Isabelle and Resetti from the Animal Crossing series. They even make those distinctive Animal Cross...

Review and More: Spikey Walls (Wii U eShop Download)
If there’s one thing I never expected to see on a Nintendo console, it’s a Flappy Bird clone. But that’s exactly what we’re getting on the Wii U eShop with developer RCMADIAX’s Spikey Walls! 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...
Infendo Radio Episode 325: The Treehouse Take
Good morning everyone, and welcome to episode 325 of Infendo Radio! In this episode, Harrison Milfeld, Lewis Pugh, and myself cover three sections that you may not be used to: we start with what we’ve been playing (the Super Smash Bros. 3DS demo and Mighty Gunvolt), move into our feature for the week (“The Treehouse Take”), and finish with a community comments section. Coming som...
