Businessweek: ''At the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles last month, Sony and Microsoft showed off new consoles and games scheduled to reach stores in time for Christmas. Nintendo’s big news at the world’s largest gaming show: its fifth round of game launch delays since October. Games drive console sales, and Nintendo’s latest system, the Wii U, hasn’t exactly been flying off the shelves.''
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 think a variety of things should happen to get the system selling. A price cut, more third party partnerships and accessibility and development aid for indie developers, just to name a few. Nintendo has a lot of work to do, but I don't think it's ethical to completely write off the Wii U just yet.
They should try and entice some devs to re-release games on their system. Right now there's an open market for anyone who wants to jump in!
Nintendo should really try and make a push for RTS's on Wii U. The gamepad gives them quite the advantage in that genre compared to the Xbox1 and PS4.
