Relevant passage: "It’s worth noting that the Smash Bros. franchise may not see additional characters, but I think the door can’t quite be shut yet. For Super Smash Bros. Melee, the developers included trophies in the game that could only be accessed by playing other games that came out later – such as Pikmin and Animal Crossing. I like to think that Nintendo could do something similar with the newest entry, but actually add full characters instead of just pre-made trophies. When the new Zelda comes out, perhaps a character from the game could be added as DLC if users pre-order the game or perhaps Waluigi could be available to those who purchase a new Mario Tennis or Wario game."
FuRyu revealed on Friday its Exstetra fantasy role-playing game is getting an HD remaster that will launch this summer on Steam.
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.
I want to play as Reggie.
Sakurai playing Fallout 3 DLC's sounds pretty crazy to me. It's such a different game to those he develops. On the matter at hand, I do hope they decide to create DLC for Super Smash Bros.
No thanks. I don't want to have to PAY to download characters that are most likely already on the disc. Just give me a huge game, just like brawl. Fill it with a bunch of STUFF and make that disc worth the $60.
Unless the DLC was a major expansion (Ultra Smash bros) and was sold for $15-20, then I'll get it...bu no crappy DLC such as extra costumes, characters, and stages.
Or Nintendo can be cool and make dlc REALLY optional. What do I mean by really? Either play the game to unlock the character or whatever OR you can buy it to get it right away. Want Peach in a DOA bikini? Either beat the arcade mode on hard mode or pay $5. Currently, dlc doesn't feel optional imo. If I want to a costume, I HAVE to buy it. I can't just play the game and get it. Why do gamers just accept this? A lot of DLC is premade during the game's development, ripped out, and held off to sell later. I'd rather have those DLC characters in my game as unlockables and make the game FEEL complete.
I want a return of complete games and REAL unlockables. DLC expansions are alright in my book, but not costumes and characters for a FIGHTING GAME.
I say have new stuff be received when you scan a QR code like in Mario Tennis Open.
But I worry that DLC characters will mess up All-Star mode, but maybe that means something new will replace All-Star.
...and just like that... the magic was gone.
One of the most appealing things about Smash Bros is how it's a complete package, and you have to play it for hours upon hours to unlock everything, and a lot of the unlockables catch you off guard and surprise you. DLC takes so much of that discovery away if it's used conventionally.
