Kotaku- I have a Wii U, so I shouldn't be complaining. I'm not. I'm observing. And my observation is this, my friends: observing a Wii U game is a brand-new skill I have not yet mastered.
When I play this new console, I'm looking at the wrong screen half the time! Or I think I am. Maybe I am. I just don't know.
The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
NE: "We rank the 10 best main series Super Mario games in celebration of the recent MAR10 Day with 2D and 3D included."
Best 2D, Mario World, best 3D, Mario 64. Can't say there's been a bad one, although Mario World 2 wasn't a true sequel. The Mario Land games were good (not the first one) and also Wario Land. I thought after Mario 64, Mario 3D World was excellent.
Believe it not, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is almost ten years old. It was a massive game for many reasons – it launched alongside Nintendo Switch, was a new take for the series by going fully open-world, and introduced various aspects like voice acting in a mainline game for the characters.
If it bothers someone that much use the pro-controller, I can't wait to use the new gamepad though
People have been gaming on 2 screens for years on the DS without a problem. I cant wait to get the gamepad myself it looks awesome, you can even play a family member a multiplayer game using a screen each and you dont even have to be in the same room, i like that idea
it would only be a problem if both screens are showing the exact same thing at the same time. but i doubt that ever happens.
the controller screen would be for in-game info, menu, hud, alternate views etc.
sounds like the person who wrote the article is a newbie. possibly a soccer mom lol

I watched sonic allstars racing developer interveiw today its on google, i heard mention of it on the video , we already know it works on COD because you can play local multiplayer with a screen each and the gamepad is wireless.
So i can be in a different room from the tv and still play local multiplayer with the gamepad and the other player using the tv and wii mote.
seems logical you have a screen each why would u have to be in the same room for local multiplayer with a family member in the same house, after all the gamepad is wireless.
and this is something developers will use it isent a big deal, its multiplayer with a screen each this is one of the wiiUs trump cards
