A Trip Inside My Mind Part 1: Donkey Kong
For a while now I've contemplated writing an article about why certain game series have stuck with me over the years, and what they really mean to me. Then I got thinking about the list of games that are truly important that I would want to spotlight. There's a lot of games on that list. So many, in fact, I have decided to change the format of this article. If I was to write the article as it orig...

This isnt Nintendos first rodeo: Retrospective of Nintendo Online
The Wii U launch is nearing folks, and even though we know a ton about the console, there are still plenty of question marks, namely the way users will connect with each other online. Surprisingly, Nintendo has been taking their consoles online since 1995, far sooner than either Microsoft or Sony had even thought about making a gaming console. Click on through to take a tour of Nintendo’s fo...
Ambassadors: Are You Still Enjoying Your Free Games?
It’s been a number of months since the last Ambassador games arrived on the 3DS for us early adopters. I have to admit, I haven’t spent too much time with many of these games so far. However, I’ve really started to get into the original Metroid on the NES. It’s extremely difficult and I get lost a whole lot, but I can’t stop thinking about it. WarioWare is also excell...

God of Golf games: Mario Golf Advance Tour
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3OXNYUfm64[/youtube] Not only is Advance Tour’s core gameplay the best game of golf, the story mode is all sorts of RPG awesome. It’s also the epitome of “just one more time” when attempting level up challenges. I can’t put this game down. If you haven’t already, get that.

Best gameplay description ever?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H50Qu000zL4[/youtube] As part of my summer-long quest to relive classic Game Boy games, I bought Final Fight One recently. Good game, as expected. What’s better is the game’s listed gameplay features. Whoever wrote these deserves a gold star.Â
Celebrate Game Boy Advance’s 10th birthday today with these 10 games
Ten years ago to the day, Nintendo released the Game Boy Advance. Slightly more powerful than a Super Nintendo, the handheld was and still remains the epitome of sprite-based gaming. It’s awesome, even in a post Wii, DS, Xbox, and PS3 world. To commemorate, Nintendo Power this month named what they believe to be the system’s 10 best games, as follows:Â
My GBA recase is better than yours
My backlit GBA used to be babysitter blue. But thanks to a tip from Infendo reader richufc, it’s now jet black with all new buttons. The skinny: I bought what is seemingly an official replacement case from Hong Kong for dirt cheap: $4.30 with shipping. Bought a couple of drivers for $5 more smackers. Then followed doginmylense’s wonderful tutorial for navigating the more trickier par...
