Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime discusses the reason for the amount of storage space in the Wii U.
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.
Seriously, the original xbox had nearly that much memory, they wonder why no one is buying their terrible system, it is things like that. No games, poor decisions and outdated tech.
I'm sorry but If you are charging next gen price you better give me a next gen product.
needs at least 200gb.
every system sells well at launch. the diehard fans buy at launch. they would buy regardless. If the system was known to spout fire they would still buy it. Once they've bought it then it is up to those who aren't nintendo fanboys sony fanboys etc to purchase the system. This accounts for a good 80% of the total sales of a system.
Only fanboys have looked at the WiiU and wanted it. So far the general public is saying pretty much what I said above
1 no games
2 outdated technology (hell even developers have laughed at the prospect of working on their system Unreal Engine 4)
3 lack of memory. 32 gb totally hinders the system and drives off hardcore gamers which are moving towards digital purchases. This is a trend that is obvious, and Nintendo is making a huge mistake by putting a roadblock to the hardcore gamers and their content
That's fine and dandy I really understand the reasoning, but damn Nintendo at least allow developers to give the consumer the option to partially install or fully install full games or texture packs on an external hard-drive. I really wanted to get Splinter Cell on Wii U and probably will one day get it, but what stopped me from doing so was two reasons. One, the load times between the Paladin and the main missions were over a minute long each time and two, the Wii U version did NOT have a texture pack which also leaves textures looking pretty flat on certain areas. The rest was better in most ways including the inventory and drone on the Gamepad with V-Sync engaged at all times and native 720p resolution. The two issues mentioned above could've been easily rectified had they included a texture pack to install for texture purposes or at least partially or fully install the game to decrease load times. I've played the game and I honestly could overlook the texture differences as they are barely noticeable due to the fact that the Wii U version has a much more crisp look and is clearer, thanks to the resolution, with absolutely no screen-tearing, compared to the blurry screen-tearing PS3/360 versions. I got the PS3 version used, will beat it, take it back and get the Wii U version later on when it's on sale. Might as well get my trophies while I got it...
So basically his answer is if you like digital downloads than go buy more external memory. Lol thats pretty funny.
bought a Wii U basic set at launch. I preferred the white color. Got a 1TB external western digital harddrive for about 70 dollars. and an additional controller for $40.
MY over-all cost was about $450 after tax.
I love my wii u and i cannot complain.
