N247 Writes: Ever since the last gaming generation, Downloadable Content has become an integral part of gaming. Adding optional new content to games for people to purchase is a wonderful idea, but it has gotten to the point where developers are cutting out content from a completed game and selling it as DLC. At this point, there are few developers/publishers that have been keeping DLC as it should be; Nintendo is one of those cases.
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.
Agree 100%. Hopefully Ninty is able to keep this up.
Yep. Hope Smash is getting DLC as well.
absolutely, Nintendo, R* and ND
I was pretty damn surprised by the Mari kart DLC. good for them. They also make great HD remakes, or at least one. Why haven't they made more?
I agree, the DLC pack is such a good deal. 6 new characters, 6 karts/parts or something like that and 16 tracks all for only $12. No brainer right there.
