Datel Delivers: Truly “Classic” Controllers

Designed in shape and color s...
Infendo Reviews “Retro Game Challenge” [DS]
Gamers who grew up with the NES no doubt remember the controller smashing frustration of the 1980s. Games were unforgiving and unfair, but we loved them anyway – extracting far more joy than anguish from our time with that little gray box, the Nintendo. Playing Retro Game Challenge for the DS is a lot like reliving those lazy summer afternoons with the NES, but without the anguish. Any...
Retro Game Challenge brings new NES games to DS
Remember those lazy summer days of childhood, when the maniacal Game Master Arino would force you to play NES games and overcome a series of vicious gaming challenges? No? Why don’t you start up your revisionist memory and I’ll tell you all about it. Next week sees the release of Retro Game Challenge for the Nintendo DS – a throwback to the 8-bit golden years of the 1980s. Ga...
Rare: Avatar Development Started before Mii?
As a lot of people know Mii’s are pretty cool, and we have all spent tons of hours customizing and making unique ones of our friends and of various characters that we like. So it’s not surprising another company would jump on the bandwagon and try to get a little of the avatar action. As well all know Rare is making similar avatars for Microsoft’s Xbox360. Which is all fine and g...
Wii needs Commodore 64 on Virtual Console in North America
Our Nintendo loving brothers and sisters in the EU have been regularly seen delays with game releases in their territory. Occasionally they’ll get something that North America doesn’t (like Tingle’s RPG). One of those EU specific joys they currently get to experience are Virtual Console games for the Commodore 64.
Fire Emblem bringing online conquest to DS
As reported yesterday by IGN, the latest issue of Famitsu has revealed first details on Fire Emblem DS. In an exciting first for the esteemed series, Fire Emblem DS will utilize the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for online multiplayer.

Nintendo Spotting: It’s a me, BIG MARIO
Since I moved to Japan I’ve begun to notice various instances of copyright infringement in ads, store windows, and various products. The convenient store near my job uses a poorly drawn “colonel” to advertise their chicken and the barber shop down the street has Mickey Mouse in the window for no reason. There just isn’t as tight a hold on improper intellectual property usag...
Infendo Reader Review – Advance Wars: Days Of Ruin

We’ll be sure to let everyone know when there’s another contest going on in the Forums. Here is the winning review for Advance Wars: Days Of Ruin for Nintendo DS.] Brief Summary on the series: Advance Wars is a series that orig...
Two new Virtual Console platforms incoming
It would seem that Nintendo’s recent web site redesign was more than just for show as two additional spots have appeared on the Japanese Virtual Console page. Today, there are eight spots in all, with just six spots filled. Ominous greyscale Famicom controllers occupy the empty spots, which wild rampant speculation says will be filled by at least the Sega Master System if there’s anyth...
The Wii Virtual Console import tax
I’ve seen a few people post about this at blogs like 4cr and Aeropause, so I thought it would be worth a post here to see what you guy and gals think. The query is about first party imports on the VC and their “modest” price increase. Or, their import aficionado player’s tax, as I like to call it. The two import games are 600 points for the Famicom title Super Mario Bros 2 ...

Japan’s VC titles continue to rock
Call me green with envy for Japanese Wii owners, because I am. The apology from Nintendo to Japan for launching there after the U.S. has still not ended, apparently, judging from these Virtual Console titles set to drop soon: NES Games (500 Wii Points) * Ikki: A short, snappy ninja action game from Sunsoft.* Ice Climber: The massively popular platform game.* Kid Icarus: Another classic platformer ...
