IGN: Console launches aren't easy to pull off. In fact many of them are terrible. Yet Wii U might dodge that trend. Here's why - and what Nintendo must do.
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.
Im sure the nintendo wii u will do just fine at launch. I might only be speaking for myself but i appreciate the whole idea they have going with that controller. Opens the doors for a lot of new possibilities. It also seems that 3rd partys are starting to take nintendo seriously. Even a tekken game is being released for nintendo.
My worries:
1. The price
2. Will Ninty make a good launch of games
3. Will console be reliable, not like Xbox360 was
It'll be an even playing field.
FYI - the last Nintendo console with an, "even playing field" was the Super Nintendo.
There are two things I want to know about the Wii U. Can the console support mpre then one controller now, and how much are those controllers going to cost?
Wii = the new NES, therefore Wii U will = the new SNES!
I know more than me see the similarities
