MMGN: If rumours are anything to go by, then this year's E3 expo is shaping up to be nothing short of a blockbuster. Microsoft and Sony are set to reveal their next-generation entries into the console market as well as accompanying IPs - leaving Nintendo with a mammoth task ahead if it plans on stealing the limelight from its competitors.
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.
A new Metroid, Star Fox, F-Zero or even Earthbound(unlikely) would be awesome. It's been awhile since we have seen Fox in action.
I just pray to god the Retro studios title isn't another 2-D side scroller --____--
I hope Retro's game isn't Star Fox. Those games suck.
id rather retro make the next metroid, that would be a good announcement.
I know what would be interesting for Star Fox, either have it similar to Star Fox adventures (never played it) but have most of the game take place using Vehicles like the 64 game, or have no adventure aspect but have a lot more levels & different paths.
The problem with the way starfox is, is that with the limited amount of stages and the fact it's an on rails game means you go through it rather fast, it needs more meat to it or something to make it a lot more replayable. Plus harder bosses wouldn't hurt..
