Zach Gibson discusses the Wii U in its first two years of being, and takes a look at the console's future.
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.
Wii U is the future, The future is Wii U
To me, it feels like WiiU is this generations Dreamcast.
WIIU has another good 5 Years of great games ahead.
They don't need third party studios.
Wiiu is an abandoned console, the only redeeming feature is that it will have all the core Nintendo titles
3d/2d mario, zelda, starwing, crankey kong etc
im pretty sure the ps4 and X1 will have awesome games in the future. don't write those off. last time i remember, wii u had an awful first year. yet people seem to not want to bring that up. also not everyone is into just playing Nintendo games only. there are way too many 3rd party games i like and will play in the future that wii u may not even get.
