Nintendo pulled back the curtain on their next console during their E3 2011 presentation. While most of the details were already revealed for the Wii U, there was still a sense of mystery about the controller. All the rumors were true, the Wii U's unnamed controller does feature all the buttons and control sticks of a GameCube controller, it does feature a forward facing camera, it does have motion control, and most importantly it has a 6.2 inch touch screen.
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.
The controller's size will take some getting used it, but I think Nintendo is on to something.
EDIT: Though I think Nintendo better do something with that "one Wii U controller per console" thing. Besause that seems to be the Wii U's only problem for me. 7_7
Guys, go hold your laptop or a book like the Wii U's controller is. Now, I'm not saying that you should to this for 30+ mins, but after about 5 or so, your thumbs really start to get sore (simulating button presses). I don't know how they specifically designed this controller, but they better do some extra fine testing on comfort levels during extended levels of play.
"...the possibilities the new controller represents far more than I was by any upgrade to the graphical and online capabilities of the system and by more than anything else I saw at this E3 or any of the three I've attended."
See? this is innovation! If you only want power, buy a PC already.
I cant wait to get a wiiu with nintendo showed looked good ok the controller looked big but when you look back at all nintendos controllers every one has said this about them all but they have all worked very well. As long as the dont sell the wii u controller for a high price on its own and the online is at lest like psn ide be more than happy that the console would work for the core.
