Nintendo goes 7 of 8 on consoles: Newest Zelda latest to reach upper ’90 rating
With exception to Zelda II, the black sheep of the series, Nintendo has never released a Zelda game for consoles that went on to score less than a 95 in aggregate reviews. In fact, seven of a total eight console Zeldas have scored a rare 95 average or higher. Skyward Sword for Wii, currently at 95/100, is no exception. Simply put, the game is worthy of its nominally hot score. It’s quickly ...
After first two dates, Zelda Skyward Sword overcomes most of its initial flaws
Zelda Skyward Sword starts slower than any other Zelda in recent memory. In fact, it took two dates with her before I decided I wanted to keep dating.Â
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...
Infendo Public Service Announcement – Daylight Saving Time ends today
If your location observes Daylight Saving Time, don’t forget to set the clock back one hour on your Wii, DS, and 3DS today! Unlike many modern electronics, these game systems don’t set themselves. Now that you’re well rested after an extra hour of sleep, you’ll be able to solve more puzzles using less hint coins in Professor Layton and the Last Specter!!
New Zelda trailer: Long looks, all business, and a climatic hadouken

Will you shirk work to play the new Zelda?
I’m debating it. The gaming gods certainly know I want to. But the timing of my review copy this week couldn’t have come at a more inconvenient… um, time. Abnormally high workload. Prior family engagements late into the night. Finishing up other dealines first. The cherry on top: a threatening cold. (Sob story, I know.) I could blow it all off. But I decided to wait until a prope...
Manual game saves: Retro chic or outdated design?
Derek and I have previously said that specific Zelda gameplay should be updated for the 21st century. One of those issues is manual game saves. Although not exclusive to Zelda, the new Skyward Sword, like previous Zeldas, requires the player to manually save their progress. Instead of auto saving like most modern games, Skyward Sword players will have to save their progress at “any of t...
Skyward Sword is “deepest Zelda yet” – what does that mean to you?
In a recent promotional email (seen above), Nintendo claims that The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is the deepest Zelda yet. To me, depth would mean an engrossing story with characters you care about and a game world that feels alive. To others it might mean a lot of items to collect or side quests to embark upon. Dragon Quest IX had a great balance of these qualities and was able to deliver dept...
Which are you more excited to play: New Mario or new Zelda?
In just two weeks, you’ll be able to play the newest Mario game on 3DS, Super Mario 3D Land. A week later, Zelda: Skyward Sword arrives on Wii. Of everything you’ve seen so far, which are you most excited to play? Since the games are separated by only a week, something is going to take a back seat. Which will it be in your home?
Did you know? Zelda was originally called “Hyrule Fantasy”
To get you more hyped than you already are for Zelda’s next romp on Nov. 20, read that and other 1986 factoids at Zelda Universe. Thanks, Cody
Buy a Wii, get a Mario game and the wrong soundtrack
Nintendo doesn’t sell the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack to North American Club Nintendo fans (or iTunes patrons or pretty much anyone in the States), but–as of last Sunday–they’re happy to give it away to casual late Wii buyers. And it’s not even paired with the game it belongs with! Perhaps NOA is hoping Joe and Wanda Casual will listen to the CD, fall in love with t...
