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. I certainly hope there is going to be something substantial added to the game after it was delayed by six months after the release on the other systems. What a...
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 ...

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....
