Video: Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker trailer shows off a little of each stage
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hRmFa6KrRo[/youtube] Nintendo didn’t disappoint with the Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker trailer in today’s Direct stream. The trailer shows a little bit of each of the game’s 70 stages, rapid-fire style. Bill Trinen prefaced the trailer by calling the levels “highly detailed.” He also described them as “mini universes,...
Nintendo Direct alert: November 5th, 2PM PT
Another Nintendo Direct livestream is just around the corner. Set to begin Wednesday, November 5th at 2:00 PM Pacific, it will apparently contain “updates about upcoming games for 3DS and Wii U.” Nintendo’s wording here may indicate a lack of any substantial announcements, but when it comes to Nintendo Direct broadcasts, the company surprises us more often than not. I’m loo...
Link’s amiibo figure will be compatible with Hyrule Warriors
Nintendo of America tweeted today that Link’s amiibo figure will be compatible with Hyrule Warriors. This is a game that wasn’t listed as amiibo-compatible until now, but we’ll have to wait to find out exactly how the NFC figure will work with Hyrule Warriors. Since Link’s is the only figure currently announced to work with the game, does this change your previous amiibo pu...

Sakurai teases two new game modes for Smash Bros. Wii U
In his daily Miiverse updates, Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai posted an image of two new game modes for the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros. Upon further inspection, the two modes are single-player options, but the titles are blurred out only showing Master and Crazy with Master Hand in each section. Sakurai only stated in his Miiverse post, “Now, what mode is this…?!” T...

Retro Redux: NES Sidequest – DuckTales Remastered
Those of you who’ve been following the NES Quest from the beginning know that I started it by playing DuckTales. At that time, I already had an original NES copy of the game plus DuckTales Remastered downloaded to my Wii U. Yeah, I’m crazy that way: I often download games, only to hold off on playing them until months later. Well, what better time to play DuckTales Remastered than righ...

Wii U system update finally adds folders
An update that I feel is long overdue for the Wii U is now available. It adds the ability to create folders on the home screen, where you can store the games and apps downloaded to your system. This is a function the Nintendo 3DS has had for a while, hence my opinion that Nintendo has been a little slow on getting the Wii U equivalent up and running. Oh well. It’s here now. And at least the ...
Infendo Game Night: Mario Kart 8 Tourney Results
“It wasn’t perfect, but it was fun!” Those are my words in a Miiverse post from this morning. It pretty much summarizes how Infendo’s first official game night went. I feel like I didn’t properly explain “game night” yesterday. It was Lewis’s idea for us to try to have one night a week to play games and chat via Skype, without the pressure of recordi...
