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...

Review: NES30 Pro and FC30 Pro Controllers by 8Bitdo

All-in-all, I am happy with my purchase. The controller works great on puzzle games, and I am confident that it will work well with NES Virtual Console games if they release on the Switch. It does not work for modern games as well, as they are designed around modern controllers. There are exceptions to this rule, of course. It is the perfect size to take on a trip, and even (some models) come with...

Review: NES30 Pro and FC30 Pro Controllers by 8Bitdo

Nintendo Switch Review By Steve Peacock Thinking back to when I preordered my Switch, I remember thinking how cool it was that the Switch was ready for two people to play right out of the box. We don’t generally have people over to play games with us, so I figured I would be okay with just the Joy-Con that come in the box. Boy, was I wrong. When Mario Kart 8 Deluxe came out, I began to look ...

Infendo Multi-Man Review – The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Eugene Allen Breath of the Wild is perhaps the first game in The Legend of Zelda franchise since the original that allows the player ask the question ‘What CAN I do in this world?’ as opposed to ‘What CAN’T I?’ This is evidenced almost immediately, seemingly even before you can press the plus-shaped button of the right Joy-Con. Link earns all the tools he needs to explore the entire map of Hyrule ...

Infendo Review – Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove

  What is it? Treasure Trove is the 3.0 update to the critically acclaimed game Shovel Knight, and was originally released in 2014 by Yacht Club Games. The game was Kickstarted and exceeded every stretch goal it had. Thanks to those stretch goals, not only did it come to a crazy amount of platforms (3DS, Wii U, PS3/PS4/Vita, Xbox One, Windows/Mac/Linux/Steam, and even Fire Stick!), it also is...

Infendo Review: The Waterfield Cityslicker Switch Case

It’s not often that you find something that you couldn’t live without, especially while thinking that you didn’t actually need it. I felt this way before I first laid my hands on the Switch, and I felt that way about owning a case for my Switch before I laid my hands on the Waterfield CitySlicker. The folks at Waterfield we’re kind enough to send Infenfo a CitySlicker case over for review, a...

Infendo Review: Nintendo Switch

Sitting upon my desk daring me to never finish this review is my now two week old Nintendo Switch. This $300 piece of tech is one of the only things that will get me into a Walmart at 12 AM on a work night, and what a beautiful piece of tech it is. Included in the box is the Joy-Con (L) and (R), Nintendo Switch Dock, Joy?Con Wrist Straps, Joy?Con Grip, an HDMI Cable, Nintendo Switch AC Adapter, an...

Super Metroid Retro Review

It is regarded by many as one of the greatest games of all time on any system. It has inspired countless sequels, spin-offs, and imitators. It helped create and define an entire sub-genre of video games… …and it has sat on my shelf of shame for roughly 20 years. For most Nintendo fans, this game requires no introduction. Released on the Super Famicom/Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994, it...

Infendo Review: Brick Race (New 3DS)

Imagine if someone hacked a game of Tetris and turned it into a top down racing game, and you have Brick Race. Actually, it’s more like a top down object dodging game than an actual race. Let me explain. Start with, as I said before, a Tetris board. At the bottom of the board is a collection of blocks that vaguely resemble a race car. You can move this car left or right on the grid in order ...

Hyrule Warriors review: Will it hack’n’slash its way into your Wii U?

Hyrule Warriors was announced during the 18th December Nintendo Direct, and even when it was first shown I was skeptical. I mean, how could a series known for its exploration and puzzle solving, combined with excellent dungeon design, maintain the same atmosphere when some of the elements that make the Zelda series what it is are removed? Let’s find out! Hyrule Warriors is a unique collabora...

Review: Pikmin 3 (Wii U)

Nintendo kept us waiting for the third instalment of their odd, genre bending adventure-strategy game. Pikmin 3 recently landed on the Wii U around the world, however has the wait been worth it? The main adventure mode is single player only but there are additional modes that let you play either co-operatively or competitively with a friend. If you have played either of the first two games you wil...
