Coming Soon: Tuesday Time Warp

With the sad departure of our beloved editor, Holly Fellmeth, and the increasingly busy lives of the rest of the Infendo staff, the pages of Infendo have been eerily silent as of late. Do not fear, great things are on their way. One of these things is a new bi-weekly feature, beginning next week, entitled “Tuesday Time Warp.” This new feature will focus on retro games, particularly the...

Review: Toss N Go (Wii U eShop Download)

Toss N Go is the third and final Wii U game in RCMADIAX’s Tabletop Gallery series. As with the two previous games in the series (Poker Dice Solitaire Future and Shut the Box), Toss N Go is easy to grasp and rewarding to play. In it, the player (or players; more on that later) rolls 10 dice, which will each show one of three simple symbols: a green plus sign, a yellow circle, or a red x. Any ...

Mario Kart 8 tourney night a success

The nine Mii characters you see listed above comprise almost everyone who participated in last night’s Mario Kart 8 tourney (minus a friend who played locally with me). Our numbers weren’t great, but there was plenty of fun to be had anyway. Kevin was the first to arrive, and others continued to join over the following hour or so. There were some great karting skills on display; Kevin,...

How would you rank the new Mario Kart 8 DLC tracks?

I know lots of things are supposed to be going through your mind at any given time, but it seemed there was only one thing on my mind this morning: the new Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8 DLC that arrived on Wii U. I spent as much time as I could racing the 8 new tracks, and this is personally how I’d rank them against one another: Number 8 – Yoshi Circuit (GCN) I didn’t play Doub...

Pikmin Short Movies: 3D vs HD

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTnNdctBvtQ[/youtube] Nintendo has a habit of making demos or even full games available after Nintendo Direct streams. Wednesday’s broadcast was no exception. Right after the Direct came to a conclusion, players could go to the 3DS or Wii U eShop to purchase a unique set of short movies staring Pikmin for $4.99 each. Famed game designer Shigeru Miyamo...

Video: Stylish new trailer for Splatoon reveals single player mode

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EXKQQmm9EE[/youtube] During the Nov. 5 Nintendo Direct, we were treated to a look at Splatoon’s single player campaign. Even though the game focuses on frantic, 4-on-4 online battles, it will, as promised, also contain a single player mode. In it, the battle between squids and octopi rages. The player fights on the side of the squid, of course, and i...

Xenoblade Chronicles X will have “bigger world to explore” than in Xenoblade Chronicles

Ever since its announcement, Xenoblade Chronicles X (which was known only as “X” until E3 2014) has been my most looked forward to Wii U game, by far. That’s saying a lot, as Super Smash Bros. for Wii U was always high on the list too. Don’t take this as anything but my personal opinion! Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii was just so massive, with such a solid storyline and great ...

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse will have a multiplayer mode

We were treated to an in-depth look at Kirby’s upcoming Wii U game today during a Nintendo Direct video. For one thing, the name of the game has been finalized: Kirby and the Rainbow Curse (though I didn’t even realize this wasn’t final). As a spiritual successor to the Nintendo DS game Kirby Canvas Curse, the player will guide Kirby, who is restricted to ball form for the most p...

Their built-in near-field communication (NFC) technology will allow players to scan them into compatible games easily by swiping them over the bottom left surface of the Wii U GamePad. In addition to their function in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, we now know how the figures will work...

Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack 1: Details, trailer, release date

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcL6JYR5eFs[/youtube] My one prediction for today’s Nintendo Direct involved Mario Kart 8’s first DLC pack: I thought it would be announced for release tomorrow, November 6th. Well, I was only a week off, as it’s officially coming on November 13th. The pack will contain three new racers: Link Tanooki Mario Cat Peach 8 new courses, includin...
