Stephen Heller: I challenge you to find a better launch line-up than what Nintendo has conjured for their first foray into the HD world.
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's such a great launch, then why are people so iffy on it? Why are people feeling leery about the just-now-revealed limitations on the hardware? Why are people feeling baited-and-switched on a lot of the WiiU's promised features that won't be available until a later time? Why are people downloading a 5 gig patch already? Why are people having to cope with ridiculously long load times in the WiiU's software? Why are people have wi-fi connection issues? Why are "definitive" versions of multiplats like Mass Effect 3 not going to include certain DLCs on WiiU that will be available on other platforms?
I remember the Wii's launch. Everyone was excited. EVERYone. Even the so-called "hardcore" gamers were excited, if only to see what the heck Nintendo was attempting to do. With the WiiU, there's no excitement. There's no passion.
its just a bunch of haters trying to be negative so the wiiu dont win the next generation...but it will happen...a firmware is not a ring of death and that system still came in second place last generation , so the wiiu will still win next generation and the games on the system are a plus titles and will keep coming
Internet for some reason went to flame mode and blew small things out of proportion. Especially here on N4G. Lot of random hate blowing about.
Probably because everyone who's enjoying their new console is playing it right now...
I own a Wii U and love it, and thats all that matters.
I don't think most of the complaints have anything to do with the game lineup
