Nintendo has a rich history of innovative and gameplay contributing hardware. You know: new hardware twists that improve the way we interactive with games. Having played all of the company’s systems since 1986, here’s how I’d rank ’em in terms of most gameplay enabling to least gameplay enabling: Nintendo DS. Whose to blame for the ongoing touch gaming revolution? This litt...
What a perfect day it has been. My Chargers beat the much hated Chiefs, Werder Bremen scraped out a win in the Bundesliga, and now it’s time for Nintentunes! This week join us we take a trip down memory lane and visit some of the best music this side of Abby Road. If you dare, head past the break and fill your Sunday with the joy of music! Just be sure to drop us a few lines letting us know ...
Just kidding! Today’s episode of Nintentunes is brought to you by the letter R.
The Ambassador NES games, as mentioned in the earlier post’s comments below, debuted ahead of schedule this morning! If you bought a 3DS before August 12, you’re now the proud owner of ten free NES games. What do you think? Awesome gameplay? Sprites a bit hard to see at that size? Which one’s your favorite? I’m leaving my sense of irony at the door (yes, it is funny that on...
NES – Mega Man 6 [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKHVUupbqx0[/youtube] Mega Man 6 was released toward the end of the NES life-cycle, and was largely overshadowed by series spin-off (the first of many many such spin-offs) Mega Man X which released just 3 months later for the SNES. Mega Man 6 is my favorite title in the series, mainly because of the off the wall Robot Masters that were...
This week’s edition of Nintentunes has heavy dose of RPG, perhaps in anticipation of the arrival of my import copy of Xenoblade. This may also be the reason why a game that has never seen the light of day outside of Japan is featured as well. Charlie Sheen also makes a cameo this week so what are you waiting for? Head past the br… was that the doorbell!?
As many of you may have noticed, the Infendo.com hamsters that keep our servers at headquarters running were on strike. Can you believe that they demanded more shredded carrots and celery sticks? The nerve! Contracts have been signed, cages have been cleaned, and your work week is about to be kicked of in style, Nintentunes style.
NES – Airwolf [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1m_olsKO0Q[/youtube] Don’t tell me you don’t remember the game based off the 80’s American television series starting the oldest guy still acting Ernest Borgnine. Actually, when my family gifted the game to me, I didn’t either. This helicopter sim/action shooter would not qualify as a masterpiece by any stretch of...
Nintentunes has fast become one of my favorite features to run on Infendo. Music in games is one of the, if the the most important aspects of gaming in my opinion. With the right soundtrack, video game music can help to set the mood just as the game designer intended it. As always, enjoy the tunes and be sure to let us know how you feel about this week’s selections.Â
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu0RR_BP-iE[/youtube] Music in games is arguably the most important aspect of any game, as game soundtracks can make or break the game experience. Imagine if world 1-1 of Super Mario Bros. didn’t include that iconic theme song, would it still be a held up as one of the greatest games of all time? Perhaps, but then I wouldn’t have a rockin cell ph...
