Review: Freakyforms is joyous, crazy and addictive
Freakyforms is one of the most enjoyable games I’ve ever played. That recommendation comes with a warning, however, for my tastes often veer far from mainstream gaming. This is a plotless, easygoing game that’s all about creating and collecting. It’s got a relaxed, happy Animal Crossing vibe and your time with Freakyforms will be evenly split between the amazing creation tools an...
Charging forward–After 3D Land, what kind of plumber platformer would you like to see?
Just three days to go before the Mushroom Kingdom takes over your 3DS! After that, we still have Paper Mario, Mario Tennis, and a new Super Smash Brothers to look forward to. And then… Where would you like to see Nintendo take Mario for his next platform adventure?
Infendo PSA: If you live in New York, get your butt to Times Square this Saturday
So Nintendo knows that the release of any Mario title is kind of a big deal, and when Super Mario 3D Land releases this Sunday, they plan on turning Times Square into a Mario themed obstacle course to celebrate. I don’t usually care for big cities, what with all the pollution ludicrously high taxes, but it’s days like these that I wish I could live in a city like New York. Nintendo be ...
Miyamoto experimenting with 2D Zelda, may be bringing it to 3DS
A Link to the Past was the first game in the Zelda franchise that make me a lifelong fan of everything Hyrule. Sure, I had played the NES Legend of Zelda titles, but there was just something about the depth found the in SNES classic that really hit a homerun in my book. From the muli-leveled dungeons, to the collect-a-thon that was the 24 hidden pieces of heart, A Link to the Past had so much to o...
Super Mario 3D Land offers two different 3D views for gameplay
In the final weeks of game development, the team behind Super Mario 3D Land took a look at the nearly-finished Mariokart 7, liked what they saw, and promptly altered the way you experience 3D in their platformer.

Super Mario 3D Land arrives in six days! My 3DS is practically crying tears of joy. As we wait, take a look back at the various versions of Mario Nintendo’s presented over the years and tell us your personal favorite. I’ll bet you won’t agree with my pick!

Is anyone playing Pokémon Rumble Blast?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEsJlZh3VWU[/youtube] We have a fair share of Pokémon fans around here, so I’m curious if anyone is playing Pokémon Rumble Blast? It’s rare that I don’t grab a first-party Nintendo game when it comes out, especially for 3DS, so I’m just wondering what folks think of this game now that it’s been out for a few weeks.

Mario Kart 7 doesn’t have a colon
Mario Kart 7 is the first numbered edition of this game. The other six entries in this series don’t carry a numerical indicator, just a name, colon, or game system name. Mario Kart for GameCube was fun because some people just referred to it as Double Dash, but the DS and Wii versions just tacked the respective system’s name onto the title. So why did Nintendo choose to call this editi...
Next Zelda for 3DS will be original, not a remake. May or may not be in the works.
In an interview with Mygames.pt, Eiji Aonuma and Koji Kondo were on hand to discuss a few questions about the Zelda franchise at the live 25th anniversary Legend of Zelda concert at the Hammersmith Apollo Theater in London. Amongst the questions of Zelda music and Skyward Sword details, is a real nugget of information about a Zelda title for 3DS. Keep in mind that this is an Portuguese to English ...

This news is three days late, but perhaps many of you are like me and don’t have time to look at the latest Nintendo Video content…unless it’s really good. Trust me when I say that the little blue indicator light by your Nintendo Video icon means more than you usually expect this time. In this case, it means you get a taste of the Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony Soundtr...
