Nintentunes: The anti-Nintendo edition
Video game music has come a long way from the bleeps and bloops that populated most game at the inception of the medium, and seems only right to take a look back at not only game that have appeared on Nintendo consoles, but ones that have appeared on consoles that do things that Ninten-don’t (see what I did there?). With that said, I hope you enjoy this weeks walk down memory lane in this ed...
Nintentunes is on now!
In my short time as an Infendo contributor, Nintentunes has been one of my favorite parts about writing for the site. Although not everyone may care for the weekly (sometimes) segment, I love reliving video games through the fantastic music emerged throughout the years. If you love video game music as much as I do, click on through and enjoy the pure bliss that is Nintentunes!
Nintentunes celebrates Mario Kart 7 so this week it’s an all racer edition!
There is no way that I am about to jump online with Mario Kart 7 tonight. Why you ask? Well embarrassment for one, and I usually like to finish the single player game first to get a feel for the tracks. Oh yeah, and I don’t want to get smoked ever single race. In celebration of the launch of Mario Kart 7, this week Nintentunes will visit the wide world of racers on Nintendo consoles. I...
Nintentunes can’t get enough Skyward Sword, so it’s an all Zelda edition!
Today I finished what may be one of the finest Zelda adventures yet in Skyward Sword, and to celebrate this edition of Nintentunes is all Zelda, all the time! This time we will travel through the handheld versions of the Zelda franchise which contain fantastic music in their own right. For all those playing Skyward Sword, how do you think the music in the Wii adventure holds up?
Nintentunes would like to remind you that Skyward Sword is only 14 days away
It seems that not much attention is being given to what will perhaps be one the best games in the franchise by the mainstream gaming media with other big name titles dropping such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, but rest assured that we here at Infendo are chomping at the bit to get our hands on the game. In fact, if given the opportunity to play the game of rece...
Nintentunes: Columbus day edition
NES – Operation Wolf [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3LIkdn6b9M[/youtube] Operation Wolf was one of the first games I remember wanting to buy because I first played it at an arcade. Operation Wolf was ported to every console under the sun at the time, but only the NES and Sega Master System versions featured the all important light gun support. The game was brutally hard, as were ma...
Nintentunes: Short but sweet edition
So as you may have noticed, I have been absent from the site this week and I’m here to tell you why. My girlfriend of five and a half years and I split up recently, so on top of moving and working, I have been trying to keep up with my studies and haven’t had much time to post. Now that I am all settled in and again have Internet access, I can’t wait to dive back in to the world ...
This weeks Nintentunes is the bee’s knees!
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 ...
Is this the beginning of the end for Nintentunes?
Just kidding! Today’s episode of Nintentunes is brought to you by the letter R.
Nintentunes: Labor day edition
Gameboy – Sword of Hope 2 [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-KyeNmXyQw&feature=related[/youtube] Sword of Hope was known along with Final Fantasy Legend as one of the first RPGs to appear on the Game Boy. Kemco later released a sequel to the title, and although I don’t remember much of story other than the need to find some dude named Zakdos, but I do rembember the awesome s...
Nintentunes: Classical Nintendo music 101
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...
Nintentunes: Citizens on Patrol
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!?
