Merry Christmas, Infendoians!

Merry Christmas, every one! I’m stuck in Virginia without any GameCube controllers so I can’t play SFII on the VC. But who cares, I’m having a blast gaming the in-laws in Wii Sports and Excite Truck and just enjoying the family, good times, and delicious food. I’ve also enjoyed a ton of Clubhouse Hold ‘Em […]

Merry Christmas, every one! I’m stuck in Virginia without any GameCube controllers so I can’t play SFII on the VC. But who cares, I’m having a blast gaming the in-laws in Wii Sports and Excite Truck and just enjoying the family, good times, and delicious food. I’ve also enjoyed a ton of Clubhouse Hold ‘Em online. Look for me: Blake. And I can’t wait to watch the Karate Kid DVD collection I just scored… [insert favorite line here]. And for the record, I surprisingly think the second movie is slightly better than the first.

Thanks a bunch to all the readers out there and especially every body at Infendo Headquarters (read: volunteer bloggers). Here’s to a better year of Nintendo coverage and culture. So what games have/will you be playing today?

[Thanks, OCTOROK!]

  1. Been playing Final Fantasy 12 for the past week and have 70 hours into it so far. Started playing Okami (amazing game) yesterday but I have many games I want to play. God of War and DQ8 just to name a few.But Merry Christmas to all the Infendonians out there.

  2. Karate Kid part II is better than the first. Although, as I have been stationed in Okinawa, I found out a lot of the movie to be false, and filmed in Hawaii.Anyways, Merry Christmas everyone, I will be going old school on my gaming, Conkers BFD (N64), maybe some Goldeneye too…

  3. We'll be playing some Dread Pirate later tonight. It's a fancy board game that my wife gave to me today.Otherwise, I might go grab SMB on the VC.Merry Christmas, everyone!

  4. NFS:Carbon on a zillion different systems (for a review). (=more work than fun)Catching up on some NEW Zelda (GC-version of course) and then lots of Phoenix Wright: Justice For All. (=pure fun)

  5. I scored EBA and Cooking Mama for the DS. Both great games now by the way. Now I just have to get the DS off my girlfriend to be able to play them 🙁

  6. i'm in lancaster, pa with no wii but my cousins have a GCN so we've been playing 4 player mario kart. so much better with 4. same goes for monkey ball. Okami is a great game and i must finish it. too bad Clover went outta business. Merry christmas, happy hannukah, and all the rest!!!

  7. Girlfriend got me Elebits for Christmas. I'll be playing that before bed. If I don't get Raving Rabbids from the rest of the 'fam tomorrow, I'll be going out to buy it in the evening. 🙂

  8. I am completely filled to the brim with games. I got an Xbox 360 with Gears of War and Need for Speed Most Wanted. It has demoes of Burnout Revenge, Tomb Raider, and Kameo. I also downloaded Super Mario Bros, Street figher 2, and Castlevania for the VC. I also got Scurge Hive for the GBA. And last but not least, I got Excite Truck and Call of Duty 3 for Wii. Add that to Zelda, Trauma Center, and Red Steel that I got at launch, and you got one confused gamer. I also signed up for Gamefly from a one month trial present. I have in my possession Okami and Magical Starsign. I need some sleep.

  9. I scored Twilight Princess, Red Steel and Wii Play. Racked up about 7 hours on Zelda (just entered the Goron Mines for anyone who's in the know), in between schoolin my brother on Red Steel and Wii Sports – I also blagged a second Controller. I mainly got Wii Play for the bundled Wiimote but the biliiards game is surprisingly addictive.My brother also got a 360 with Gears and COD 3, so I may have a blast on that later, assuming I can tear myself away from TP :DPS. Karate Kid rules!!!!!!

  10. Played a TON of Tennis this weekend with the wifes family. They ate it up. We had a bracketed tournament and everything, it was amazing. I didn't realize how great that game was until I experienced it with 4 players. Also, played a load of excite truck. Everyone is loving it. Especially with my SD card of great bumping tunes jamming in the back ground. While everyone was playing, I was snapping photos on my digital camera. When everyone thought they knew what the Wii was, I busted out the memory card, slammed it into the Wii and turned on the slideshow function. We were looking at a really nice slide show of the christmas photos in a matter of seconds. Every parent in the room decided then and there that this device was what they needed in the TV/Game room.Also, my wife got me Sudoku Gridmaster for christmas so I've been playing that. Its got a pretty nice sudoku engine, more options than brain age. Very nice.Merry Christmas to all the Infenoians! Hope everyone had a great weekend and got everything they wanted. And to anyone I have argued with on these boards the past year, here's to you and thanks for all your responses. Everyone on here is what makes Infendo such a great place to read and post!See you all next year!

  11. "I am a man who will fight for your ho-nour! I'll be the hero etc. etc."Karate Kid 2: The Girl Edition.

  12. So I scored some sweet Wii games over the holiday. Red Steel, Far Cry, and Elebits!!! Red steel is laughable horrible. It's like playing a B-Movie and it's even more fun when my friends and I add our commentary. We actually thought the 2 player in Far Cry wasn't too bad. It at least controlled and looked better than Red Steel, but the weapons were a little lame in both games. At least in far crazy you could go all berzerker in Predator mode. Elebits was definately a blast. 2 player is pretty fresh, except for the fact that there's no split screen and one player controls the camera. Looks like I have alot of games to plow through that should keep me busy for the coming months. At least I got my girlfriend a pink DS lite so she won't hog the TV.

  13. p.s.No it's not a typo. I really called Far Cry "Far Crazy"……………Okay, so it WAS a typo =-(

  14. Lots of Elebits, Final Fantasy III on the DS and other stuff, may be the day after, but that's what I've been playing.
