So the news is out, Nintendo will be keeping mum on the price of the Wii U until sometime next year. So that begs the question: how much will the Wii U inevitably cost?
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.
$249.99, $99.99 per controller. Wii U, 4 controller's and 1 game = $700 plus tax $850. Liitle asshole kid breaks controller $950. One month later he's bored. Dad kills kid, ends up in jail for life. The End
My guess is $299.99, which is reasonable IMO. Add that to a hopefully solid launch line-up and I'm in.
I'm guessing $300. I think Nintendo wanted $350 but after the 3DS's poor sales, they'll have to settle for $300.
It will fail and fail hard.
Nobody other then Nintendo fans will buy it.
Wii got away with the gimmick of motion control,tapped into the casual/ young/old market same as ds does.
I'm not so sure that will work again.
300 dollars ...
