On April 29th, 2014, Nintendo announced today that they will not have a press conference at E3, but instead will have a “virtual experience” for people and have playable demos of ‘Super Smash Bros’ at Best Buy’s during the conference. That’s all well and great, but there are certain events that I think need to happen.
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.
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
oh yes loved the 4th lol .. i am not much of a nintendo fan though when i was a kid it was all about sega genesis .. i still own the console though i am 27 lol ...
Doing two directs one for WiiU and one for 3ds did well last year so I'd think they should do that again. Having Smash Bro playable at Best Buy is awesome! NIntendo always has something up their sleeve and know when to play their cards. My guesses for E3 for unannounced games are a Mario game akin to 64/sunshine/galaxy. Sunshine HD. Either a Starfox game or Metroid teased and the new Miyamoto IP they've kept in the dark for so long now.
Can't wait to see what they pull out for E3.
I want them to start increasing advertisement efforts, via a new campaign focused on hyping up the Wii U, using things that would make a core gamer excited about the system.
A good tag line would help, in combination with some actions shots from some high-intensity core-focused games like Bayonetta 2.
Something like "Come Get U Some!"
They should start phasing out the Wii in the Wii U... Call it the Nintendo U from now on and create some separation in the minds of consumers.
Stop lagging behind the technology curve! Seriously, when you guys were the leaders, you were the best there was for consoles! You couldn't pull me away from my snes back in the day. Now, you guys seem content with not being a leader anymore and just grabbing for the casual dollar. Be the superstar we remember you guys being, not the rut you seem to be ok with.
