Find Mii review: Is the ending worth the effort? (Spoilers!)
Find Mii, the built-in 3DS RPG, is designed to motivate owners to carry the 3DS around town, since pedometer coins and/or Streetpass encounters are necessary for play. It certainly worked on me; I’ve been carrying the 3DS on my commute since launch day, fighting demons and ghosts nearly every night, and I’ve finally beaten the funny little adventure. Was it worth playing through?
Two new 3DS games surface
Even though e3 is a few weeks away, news is starting to trickle out from developers of new games everyday. Today two such games were revealed, and it looks like 3DS’s everywhere have a few games to look forward to on the horizon. Majesco Entertainment has revealed that Cooking Mama 4: Kitchen Magic and Camping Mama: Outdoor Adventures will be coming to Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS, respec...
A case for cases – Waterfield Designs and Power A cases for 3DS
Despite being on the market for over a month, we actually get more press releases at Infendo about 3DS cases than we do for new games. Here we present a view of two different cases, one for executives and another for the style conscious.
Look who’s making an unauthorized appearance on iPhone!
There’s an interesting free app available for iPhone called i3D. An experiment in face-tracking via the front camera, it shifts the perspective of several demo objects as if you were looking at three dimensional scenes. It’s interesting and fun, but (and even the app’s creator admits this) it still looks flat. The effect doesn’t come close to the what the 3Ds achieves, but ...

What eShop titles do you want most?
June has a lot of things going for it. e3 starts next month, 3DS gets it’s first “must have” title, and the eShop finally launches for Nintendo’s newest handheld. Not to bad! I always love revising old classics so the most exciting feature for the eShop, to me, is the virtual console support. As such, I would like to ask you, Infendo, what classic games are you hoping to ...
Tell Infendo about your StreetPass experience
I think we can all agree that StreetPass is one of the most alluring features of the Nintendo 3DS. Unfortunately for me, I live in a small town with a population of about 2,000, and it’s an hour to the closest Wal-mart, and five to the closest mall. My count of StreetPass encounters to date comes to a total of…zero. But I am glad to hear that many of our readers have been more fortunat...
I see a bright future for 3DS
I’ve enjoyed the recent discussions of 3DS here, pros and cons…even the criticisms from people who haven’t purchased it or even played the dang thing to any real extent yet. There are a few key points I’d like to make here about Nintendo’s new little wonderbox. Just let me take a second to brush some recently-thrown rotten tomatoes off its poor little shell…ther...
The glass is half full: What did 3DS get right?
A vocal number of readers have been down on us lately for collectively criticizing Nintendo’s recent behavior. Fear not, sensitive ones. This post is for you. With all the talk of 3DS and its lack of games being pricey, what exactly did the 3DS get right, in your opinion? What do you most like about the system? In what ways does the handheld influence video games for the better (if at al...

Nintendo + Best Buy = 3DS download service
Next time you walk into your local Best Buy make sure you bring your 3DS with you. Nintendo has just announced a partnership with Best Buy in which the retailer will provide access to “exclusive offers as well as additional entertainment content such as gaming extras and movie trailers.” The part about gaming extras has got me listening. Could the service perhaps bring additional wo...
