Is Uprising’s vocal track the boldest design move since Wind Waker?
Kid Icarus Uprising is a fantastic game, but it features an overwhelmingly talkative voice track that could be the most polarizing stylistic decision since Link went all toony in Wind Waker. When players and reviewers comment that Uprising’s characters “never shut up,” they’re not exaggerating. From start to finish of its 10 hour main quest, KIU is one huge festival of banter, jokes, complaints, d...
3D Music Videos Coming to the 3DS
In a press release dated March 21st, 2012, Nintendo of America announced that it has teamed up with some of today’s popular artists to provide 3D music videos. Users will need to download the Nintendo Video application to automatically receive the premium videos. Of course, an active internet connection is required. The lineup is pretty amazing, if you ask me. The Premier videos included ...
I Can’t Stop Thinking About New Legend of Zelda
We know that a brand-new Zelda game is coming to the 3DS. I hope it is New Legend of Zelda. Some time ago, a Swapnote message was sent to 3DS owners from Aonuma thanking them for playing Ocarina of Time. The message ended with “I hope you’re looking forward to New Legend of Zelda games!” That capital N in “New” has a hold on my brain and won’t let go. “New” Legend of Zelda? The same “New” that bro...
Kid Icarus: Uprising review: Is it bad if the boxart is my favorite part of the game?
Kid Icarus: Uprising has had many Infendo contributors, myself included, wondering if the game was going to have some serious problems when it finally released. Since then, it has, and let’s just it has never been more fantastic to be proven wrong. Project Sora has with their first project already proven that they are a top tier developer, making the wait for Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS all ...
I take back everything I said about the 3DS stand
So…are many of you currently enjoying one of the best games Nintendo’s ever released? (And, no, I’m not talking about 1st Class Poker and Blackjack). Kid Icarus Uprising has been surprising me in a lot of great ways this weekend, and I have to eat some crow regarding my past negative comments regarding the free included stand. It works, it’s well designed, and it aids the g...
Happy Kid Icarus Day!
Kid Icarus Uprising is sweeping more than one Infendo writer through its hectic, spectacular adventure today, and we hope many of you are also having a great time with this title. Look for Infendo’s review soon. In the meantime…three cheers for the 3DS AR function finally getting some love! The 6 random cards included in the game’s case are beautifully done as stand-alones, but w...
Heroes of Ruin can’t come to 3DS soon enough
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIK6mN6Sp0U[/youtube] I left E3 2011 with Heroes of Ruin as one of my most highly anticipated games of the show, and after watching the latest gameplay and story trailer for the game, my mouth is salivating just thinking about playing the game later this year. Just think, in just a few short months we will have a Diablo-like game available right on our handh...
3D video coming to Nintendo 3DS?
According to Nintendo of America, 3DS users will soon have the ability to “enjoy FREE, specially selected video content that includes 3D movie trailers, comedy clips and music videos.” This information was confirmed after speculation of Netflix streaming 3D movies to the DS was announced. Now, Nintendo of America has not denied that Netflix could possibly stream 3D movies to the DS, h...
Review: Fun! Fun! Minigolf Touch! Isn’t! Isn’t!
I love Minigolf, and I love my 3DS, so I had some cautious hope that Shin’en’s Fun! Fun! Minigolf Touch! might be a decent way to spend $4.99. Unfortunately, this game breaks the months-long streak of outstanding original 3DS eShop games. Fun! Fun! Minigolf Touch! isn’t a disaster, it’s just…meh. Meh. It’s got a sharp presentation, with clean 3D graphics, pleasa...
More Online Mario Kart (7) “Impossibilities”- We Can Laugh About ’em Now…
…and laugh is what I hope you all do at the following recollections of what surely should be impossibilities in the world of gaming. That’s what we’re thinking anyway as we cruise down the tracks of Mario Kart 7, forgetting that anything can and will go wrong by the time we power down. “It’ll never happen to me,” we think as we chuck all three of our useless, re...
Some Online Mario Kart (7) “WTF?!” Moments – For Your Pleasure (Part 1 of 2)
Don’t let the picture fool you. This isn’t about a simple Blue Shell, Lightning Bolt, or Bullet Bill crashing into you at the worst possible moment during an online race. That’s standard fare, after all. Everyone’s been down that road before. Oh, no – this is about those rare strings of events that take place both outside and within races which seem so…unfathoma...
3DS seems to be hitting its stride: Game Gear titles, new demos, and NES titles hit the eShop
We have know since the latest Nintendo Direct conference that Game Gear games were coming to the 3DS, but until today, we didn’t know exactly when. It appears that not only will the eShop receive Game Gear titles starting next week, NES titles will be available for purchase this Thursday starting with the NES version of Punch-Out!! (the Mr. Dream version). The Game Gear will receive three titles i...
