Nugget of Wisdom: A Chicken Wiggle Review
At $14.99, for all the content it offers both online and offline, Chicken Wiggle is a steal, and a must have for any 3DS owner, new or lapsed. While I personally find the level editor overwhelming, there is a large community who evidently does not, and they are continuously creating new levels that are free to download.
Nugget of Wisdom: A Chicken Wiggle Review
By Steve Peacock There are a few developers I follow very closely. Yacht Club Games (Shovel Knight) and Gajin Games (Bit.Trip series) are two of the three that come to mind right off the bat. The one we are going to focus on today, Atooi, founded by Jools Watsham, is another of those devs. He is best known for Mutant Mudds, Mutant Mudds Super Challenge, and Xeodrifter. He is one of those devs that...

Jest in Time: A Look Back at the Clowns of Nintendo
Lola Pop, the newest addition to ARMS, might have you thinking Nintendo’s just clowning around with their character design. But a look back at Nintendo’s long game design history actually reveals an affinity for these face-painted juggalos. Here’s a look back at some big-time big-top dwellers from Nintendo’s lineup. MAD CLOWN – SUPER PUNCH OUT Don’t let ARMS tri...
A Tale of Two RPGs: A Brief Analysis of the Mario RPG Franchise
Before we begin, please note that all reviews are subjective and indicative of individual preference. While I have attempted to collect an un-biased aggregate scoring for each game mentioned in this article, nothing is absolute when discussing review scores. Everyone knows Mario. Everyone. The Mario franchise is the best-selling game franchise of all time, with over 528 million copies sold. Howeve...
Infendo Review – Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle
Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is a creative concept, and a game that plays very well. It's biggest shortcoming is that for such a wacky fusion of two different game universes, there really isn't much being done creatively. Sure, there are the aforementioned boss battles and a handful of fun environmental scenes, but overall it feels like a missed opportunity. It's an enjoyable game, it's funny, ...
Infendo Review – Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle
Banjo & Kazooie. ToeJam & Earl. Mario and… Rabbids!? No, this isn’t a parallel universe, and NO, you aren’t having the world’s tamest fever dream. Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is very much a real game exclusively for the Nintendo Switch, and it happens to fill a currently very-empty void in the Switch’s gaming library. Not only is this game technically the ...

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...
