This Saturday, May 5 Noon PT, Wedbush Securities Analyst Michael Pachter addresses why Nintendo has not yet released any of the hardware specs for the Wii U and if it means it’s not ready to compete with the current generation of consoles. He also predicts when the Wii U be released
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.
This Saturday, you say?
May 5th at Noon?
...thanx for the warning, I will try to avoid the internet at all cost this weekend.
For those actually tuning in to see Patcher get a few more cheap shots in before E3, I can save you the wait:
"WiiU is doomed! Tune in next episode for, the 3DS is still doomed".
I'm glad Michael Pachter generally doesn't like the Wii U and thinks it may not do well. (unless priced at $250)
That means that the Wii U will be a great system and will sell really well.
Thanks for the heads up, gonna avoid the inter for a few days. Damn I hate this guy
I'll predict what he says and my responses
-The wii was a lucky one hit wonder(though it sold for four years on top)
-The price is too expensive(which it won't be)
-It will lose sales to tablets and smartphones(the ironic thing is that it's a tablet controller)
-people won't catch on to the online because xbox live already owns it(tell that to steam)
this guy again?
why he don't quit? it would be a service for humanity if he stops talking about... everything!
i never saw the guy getting anything right, not even once!
*the Wii U launches and everything Pach the hack says turns out being the exact opposite* he's just mad that he's been wrong on all his Nintendo predictions. He did say the Vita was "dead on arrival", so sometimes he gets things right, I guess, but who couldn't see that one coming? Don't have to be an analyst to predict a Sony handheld won't sell well.
