Nintendo makes game’s that put fun and interesting gameplay ideas front and center over game graphics and system horsepower.
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.
Nintendo will be fine, they have super well known 1st party/exclusive characters and games that carry them through constantly. Worse comes to worse, they stop making consoles and focus more on handhelds. I just want them to stop staying a gen behind w/ the specs of their hardware and go all out.
problem is even when they do go "all out" (n64 and gamecube) they still DONT go all out. They almost always lack features. The Super Nes was the only time they made a perfectly balanced machine.
All you three (3) above are wrong.
@maria : Wii U is next gen.
3x > ps3
@jordan : everybody already had alternative to what u think is lacking in Nintendo's Console
@superman : money or risk is not the problem
The fact is that they thought they have their own demographics
Yes much to the dismay of sony and microsoft trolls, Nintendo will be fine, no matter how hard they whine and cry, nintendo is going to make it with the wii u!!
Nintendo does have more than enough money do go all out on a console its just they dont see the need to. If the additional features dont directly influence gameplay then Nintendo doesnt seem to think they are important. Dvd/Blu ray movie players as example. I was talking about them sticking with cartridge and low ram for the N64 and using a 1.5 gig custom mini dvd for gamecube. Things would have been alot different if they had a standard storage medium with those two consoles.
