Nowgamer: Nintendo hasn’t released much in the way of confirmed information regarding the Wii U. While it has highlighted its iPad-styled controller at last year’s E3 conference, there’s not much in the way of confirmed fact.
All this info is all subject to change with official confirmation from Nintendo but we will update this table as and when required.
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.
Will be very disapointed if the WiiU doesn't come with at least 1 gig of RAM. Seriously, RAM is like the cheapest thing to add to the consoles. If I was in charge, I'd have at least 2 gigs of RAM, and an OS that can do multiple things like surfing the web, talking on skype via video chat, and playing games all at the same time. If you have a problem with that, why? I know this is all unconfirmed, but damn, I feel like the WiiU is gonna be awesome, but the catch is production cost. They are gonna give us 512 mb if RAM if it saves them money. Also, I'm really concerned about how good their online and party chat functions are all gonna be implemented, if at all.
@Shok. I'd be surprised if they actually did something right when it came to hardware. I'm not gonna even worry bout it. Seriously, when has Nintendo ever done anything awesome besides Mario? Zelda hasn't even been good since Majora's Mask. Metroid hasn't been relevant since the Gameboy Advanced. I did love The other M but everyone hated it so whatever. Wasn't even done by a Big N first party dev. Gaming sucks anymore for the most part. Good games are like friends, few and far between.
Stopped reading after "All this info is all subject to change with official confirmation from Nintendo".
queue the 100s of completely uninformed comments.
Quadcore only? @3ghz?? lol
The list already fails at the processor. It was confirmed by IBM the CPU is a Power7, not a PowerPC. Clock speeds are not official yet. We don't even know how much L3 cache this thing will have (eDRAM for all you other people).
