Infendo Radio Episode 324: Opposing Viewpoints

Differing opinions clash in episode 324 of Infendo Radio, in which Colin Crompton, Lewis Pugh, and myself talk about what we’ve been playing (Azure Striker Gunvolt and more Mario Kart 8) and the recent Bayonetta 2 Direct. We also finally finish our list of the top 5 RPG/strategy games out on the Nintendo 3DS, though perhaps not everyone will end up satisfied by the end of it. All this and mo...

Retro Redux: NES Quest – Updates + Excuses, Excuses

Game: StarTropics Release Date (North America): Dec. 1990 Developer: Nintendo IRD Genre: Action-adventure I think it’s about time for another NES Quest update, as it’s been a while since the last vote ended and you were no doubt in suspense as to which game (out of Metroid, Super Mario Bros. 3, Maniac Mansion, and StarTropics) was the winner. As you can see, StarTropics won and did so ...

New costumes and mode announced in Bayonetta 2 Direct

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0phuu6KkTMM[/youtube] Today’s Bayonetta 2 Direct (viewable here) was packed with gameplay and, maybe more importantly, announcements. We’ve known for a while now that a port of the original Bayonetta coming to the Wii U will include costumes inspired by Link from The Legend of Zelda, Peach from Super Mario, and Samus from Metroid. These costumes...

Pause Menu: The New 3DS and Nintendo’s strange sense of timing

The recent  reveal of the New 3DS was an odd one indeed. In fact, cast your minds back to when the Circle Pad Pro was first shown and Nintendo insisted that there would not be a revision of the 3DS that would include a second circle pad, as they claimed it would fracture the market. Fast forward a few years and a hardware revision is announced that pretty much looks a 3DS with a Circle Pad Pro bui...

Review: Azure Striker Gunvolt (Nintendo 3DS eShop Download)

Mega Man co-creator Keiji Inafune and Inti Creates team up to release Azure Striker Gunvolt, an action platformer now available on the Nintendo 3DS eShop in North America for $14.99. Okay, enough of that. I can’t pretend to be the huge admirer of Inafune that many of you probably are; I didn’t actually grow up playing Mega Man games, so just about all I can be right now is indifferent....

Shulk joins the Smash Bros. roster…officially

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUl1EkUJ46k[/youtube] As far as I know, there was no fanfare from Nintendo before or during today’s Smash Bros. roster reveal. Thanks for generating the hype on that one, Nintendo…not. Still, we have an awesome new trailer that accompanies the reveal of none other than Shulk, who has been long-predicted by fans as playable, especially after this...

Retro Redux: NES Quest – Bionic Commando Report Card

It’s time for another NES Quest report card!

Proactively redefine flexible

Of all delectable islands the Neverland is the snuggest and most compact, not large and sprawly, you know, with tedious distances between one adventure and another, but nicely crammed. When you play at it by day with the chairs and table-cloth, it is not in the least alarming, but in the two minutes before you go to sleep it becomes very real. That is why there are night-lights.
