My Games Are Better Than Yours: Eugene’s Top 10 List of Games That Don’t Suck
Coming up with a list of ‘Best’ or ‘Top’ anything can be tricky. Just listen to Episode 400. For one, there isn’t a person on the planet who has played EVERYTHING, including the Infendo crew. While I might think a game such as Illusion of Gaia deserves top praise on any list, the vast majority of people don’t know what it is, or simply haven’t played it. Additionally, a beloved game such as Breath...
Steve Peacock’s Top 25 Favorite Nintendo Games
The idea for this article stemmed from Infendo Radio Episode 400. If you have not listened to that show….why are you here? Go listen! It was fantastic. The group had the idea to do an individual top 25 list, and I was the first one to say that sounded like a great idea. I was not able to be on 400, and was very disappointed by some of the games that got cut. For those of you that know me, you will...
Throw Hands Like a Champ: ARMS Tips & Tricks
So you wanna be the next ARMS champ, huh? Wear the belt, have the screaming fans chanting your name? Then listen up kid. These are some quick tips to get those Arms of yours in top form. Buttons or Motion? ARMS can be played either with button controls or motion controls. Three members of the Infendo crew prefer button controls, while one of us (cough cough, Steve) is still using motion con...
Pokémon GO to Japan and Get a Special Pokémon McFlurry
Don’t you just hate when companies spend years developing a product, only for it to not be localized for you to enjoy in your home territory? Yeah, me to. Take the new Pikachu edition McFlurry that goes on sale July 14. It’s such a shame that McDonald’s and the Pokémon company couldn’t craft a deal to make this a worldwide launch. Localization couldn’t be very hard fo...
Infendo Review – Super Bomberman R
Make no mistake, this is a game with a lot of heart. There are plenty of little things I didn’t notice until the 5th time through a specific level. You can tell the development team had a lot of fun reinventing their characters, creating personalities for them and giving them each unique motivations, however two-dimensional, for their bombing antics. And in turn, that makes it a game worth playing...
Infendo Review – Super Bomberman R
Bomberman is a series that has stayed fairly true-to-form since its release in 1983 as a tech demo for Hudson Soft. That’s not to say the games haven’t evolved, as all games do, over time. But it wouldn’t be a stretch to say if you’ve played one Bomberman title, you should have a pretty good idea of what you’re getting into when you start a new game. In many ways, the same can be said for Super Bo...
Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild to get Expansion Pass
Nintendo announced that Breath of the Wild will be getting an expansion pack for $20 and will include the following.
The Nintendo Switch has Finally Arrived!
[Note: This article was originally written by me for NintendoFever.com. I have edited it and brought it here for Infendo reader’s enjoyment] They’ve been teasing us for what feels like forever now – “we’re not ready to talk,” “Nintendo doesn’t want to talk about it yet” “there will be something soon…” then at every larg...
Hanging up the Crown: Smash Wii U’s Losing its Tourney Mode
It’s a day that ends in “Y,” so you know what that means…more random Nintendo news! There was a rumor that started circulating recently that the Nintendo NX might be region-free, which would be wonderful news! This could lead into a whole new age for Nintendo gaming not seen since the SNES. The duality of Nintendo news is that there’s always a stoutly negative announc...

Beatrice Martin, a Francophone Canadian artist released a beautifully done Pokemon Theme Song cover in honour of Pokemon’s 20th anniversary this year. Hope you’ll enjoy it!
The (Once and) Future King: Part 2
Read the first part of this article here. It has been a rocky couple of decades for Nintendo. Going into the mid-’90s, they were at the top of their game. The Super Famicom/Nintendo Entertainment System was a huge success, and their key franchises were ubiquitous within the industry — but then they hit a snag. Minor missteps, like the Mortal Kombat controversy, and major ones, like the Virtu...
