Sony and Microsoft do not sweat Nintendo. At least it is a corporate line – they can still come for Nintendo’s ass.
Sony has he shrugged the concepts That the PlayStation brand, with high -class graphics and fun for adults, can be considered in the same market as Switch Nintendo. Meanwhile, the general director of Microsoft Gaming Phil Spencer openly dreamed of moving games to change and intends Support switch 2 Through its comprehensive (consolidated) hopes for Xbox. Nintendo Pioneer Shigeru Miyamoto is ecstatic “Do not get involved in the so -called” war in the game. “ Companies for players: ✌️❤️
But despite the whole tunnel vision, everyone looks ready to rumble. Specification Switch 2 inch Nintendo closer to offering the current generation PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in a portable form. PlayStation responded with murmurs of its own portable plans, and Xbox hopes to transform each device into Xbox. But Nintendo counterattack is not a hardware game. At this year’s Summer Games Festival was played in the game, such as legal competition in the games of the first party, which remained under the blockade and the key of Nintendo.
No, you won’t play another 3D game Mario on PlayStation without hacking the console … But you can get closer?
Over the past 40 years, there has been no shortage of Nintendo clones, but rarely, say, Dreamworks All-Star Racin cardsG hit like the real equivalent of the first page of Nintendo. Example: Astro botSuch a revelation when it comes to allowing the Platformowski team to cook over time and standards of the Nintendo game, which he easily measured the Game of the Year awards throughout 2024. This year’s Game Programmers ConferenceNicolas Doucet, head of the Asobi team, assigned the success of a small team (60 people), a compact game (about 12 hours) and a continuous review, which meant that Asobi never “exposes the happiness of players”.
Nintendo’s Shinya Takahashi Ended in public Over and a dream is a dream to condense the company’s game development cycle, but they do not hesitate in need of quality. It’s the same Takahashi that finally scrapped all Metroid Prime 4 In 2019, in favor of restarting (with planned shipping in autumn 2025). Perhaps small competition in the software department between the Zeldy House and other Titan video game publishers would be a good thing.
Takashi IIzuka, head of the Sonic Sega team, reaches for this level of precision Sonic Racing: Crossworlds. After only an hour of races – and during the Week of Premiere Mario Kart World nevertheless! – – Cross world He played like a real, quick alternative to the Nintendo series. The races moved on the clip, the graphics at the PS5 level were crispy and kinetic, and while the course designers throw drivers a curve with the addition of ring portals, which now transfer you to the new path, the cups in which I could play were traditional lap style experiences (which they can speak with a chosen dusty Mario Kart race).
Cross worldwhich is on September 25 in all consoles, it cannot adapt to the very number of available players available Mario Kart World -And the announced add-ons, such as Hatsune Miku, minecraft and spongebob, are more like the cheap skins of the Fortnite season than the extension of the Sega Pantheon-but as a racing game, is as good as what Nintendo can do with a modern driver, minus to have a switch 2. And like Izuka, this is a cross.
A single game recalling the spirit of Nintendo Nintendo Astro bot It would not be a trend, but I played then Lego party. The SMG Studios developer does not really hide anything in the title: a game for many players who are in all consoles at the end of this year is simply Mario Party from Legos. It may be creatively bankrupt, but it is also a wholesale.
The team in SMG Studios constructed by the LEGO Board-which was fully “constructed” using scanned bricks-games to change the spaces, moving in many paths, elastic traps, adapting reflexes in a series of mini-thoughts and trading Smack-Talk (this is not built-in protruding from first place). SMG puts a full lego phrase on every aspect of the game, including decisions on which parts of the board can even construct in the middle of the game. Some minigras rely largely on compilations, while others rely only LEGO movie Energy for creating humorous madness. Several times I laughed loudly in my 30-minute, six-story run, running in both directions around a plaque about pirate-in the opposite of the scream in agony, as during every round of the star star Mario Party.
This month Donkey Kong Banana probably reminds players why nintendo, Astro bot Be damn, he is in your own platformer/adventure AAA – Super Mario Odyssey The band goes large. But despite the entire promised scope, I could not refrain from thinking about the energy of the sick Super Meat Boy 3Dwhich premiered for the first time in June Xbox Showcase Stream may be what is managed by retro-platformers (he complained Astro BoyEasy challenges) they actually want.
The release of Team Meat 2026 promises to bring the speed and difficulty of the original 2010 Super Meat Boy to the isometric world of 3D. Stages burst with colors-an excessive number of edges traps should add an additional layer of peas-red meat. Simple, and if the physics has been meticulously improved, effective platform entertainment.
The new editions of the first -page party were always half the pleasure of having a switch, with a deep well of NES, SNES, Game Boy Advance and N64, which turn the console into the best machine for easy emulation. After adding Gamecube games to Switch 2, I have already drifted Mario Kart World To the pleasures of Nintendo history. I didn’t need improved game equipment The Legend of Zelda: The Minish CapIN Soulcalibur 2AND Donkey Kong CountryBut Switch 2 makes the classics look better than ever.
But even the exclusive Nintendo archives are facing the competition of independent studies that push the retro history with modern sensitivity. This July Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound It is a flawless recreation of the NES franchise trilogy with variable difficulties and lots of action. Like Streets of Raph 4 AND Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge Before him, the upcoming beating of tribute games Marvel Cosmic Invasion It seems recovered in the mid-90s, but he fully uses the movements that make every playable hero is unique and tag-prints that resemble more Marvel vs. Capcom than an adventurer.
Moonlighter 2which rotates from the first 2D game to 3D, was used by Zelda-but -it-it-rogueline on the SGF floor, with unique shopping mechanics, which made it more than more than Hades Riff. Meanwhile, The Hollower faceFrom the game Yacht Club Games Developer Club Shovel Knight, I played like the actual game Zelda 2D, which I never got to (and from one phenomenal accent: you can listen underground to help in fighting and puzzles).
I know we shouldn’t compare Digimon and Pokémon, but when coming Unknown time He has RPG fans who have never given virtual animals a time of day, trembling with excitement, while Pokémon lovers just pray this fall PokéMongends: for he takes smoother than Scarlet AND PurpleI can only wonder if Nintendo feels the heat. Or if Sony, Microsoft and the main publishers think that they can finally take a monolithic family brand. They should. With all due respect to Miyamoto, the “war in the game” raises the bar for everyone. Imagine what Nintendo met with real competition.
