Miyamoto acknowledges that providing backwards compatibility is now simpler than before

Shigeru Miyamoto, the director of Nintendo, recognized that it is now simpler than ever to provide backwards compatibility, but when asked about plans for the company’s upcoming system, he gave a vague answer.
Following the release of its most recent financial results, Nintendo executives were questioned about internal conversations over providing backwards compatibility on new devices.
Miyamoto stated that he thinks backwards compatibility is easier to accomplish now than it was in the past, even if he did not specify which path future Nintendo systems would go.
The “Virtual Console” service, which allowed players to play older video games on new consoles with more modern hardware, was something that we used to offer, he explained (translated by VGC contributor Robert Sephazon). “Those games could still be played as long as the hardware was the same.
“However, as obtaining the appropriate publishing rights for video games is challenging, we have stated that we would add titles only after doing so.
Naturally, video games made for specific consoles were produced in each console’s own development environment, said Miyamoto. Because of this, when the hardware changed, it was not always possible to reuse the development environment. As a result, video games that were developed for earlier platforms could not be played on later consoles without further modification.
However, the development environment has recently gotten more standardized, and as a result, it is now easier than ever for users to play older video games on current consoles.
“However, Nintendo’s strength is in generating fresh video game experiences, so when we introduce new hardware in the future, we would like to highlight distinctive video games that could not be made with existing hardware,” Miyamoto said in his conclusion.
Nintendo claimed in May of last year that spending on the Switch’s replacement had helped the company set a record for annual R&D spending. And in November of last year, it declared that internal discussions on the idea and timing of the launch of its upcoming gaming system were still ongoing.

PS5 Alone in the Dark Reboot Stars Jodie Comer, David Harbour This Halloween

On October 25, 2023, THQ Nordic’s Alone in the Dark reboot will star Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer and Stranger Things’ David Harbour. Comer will play Emily Hartwood, while Harbour will play Edward Carnaby.
The demo, loosely based on the 1992 original, is available for download from the PS Store. This prologue, starring supporting character Grace Saunders, is inspired by Alone in the Dark 2’s Jack in the Dark demo and allows you to explore the Derceto Mansion.
The showcase didn’t focus on combat, but previous showings have shown a frantic over-the-shoulder shooter, and developer Pieces Interactive promises a variety of puzzles. Depending on how much guidance you want, you can adjust the difficulty.
We’re excited about the final product. Alone in the Dark hasn’t been respected in recent years, despite its huge influence. A compelling reboot that updates the 1992 classic looks to put the franchise back on track.

Warhammer RTS Realms of Ruin Masses for PS5 Invasion

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin, a new real-time strategy game where players command one of four warring factions, is coming to PS5 in the grimdark future.
PlayStation’s strategy gaming renaissance makes us feel like we’re living in the best possible time for console gamers who love command. Realms of Ruin could be a cool addition if it succeeds. As fans know, Warhammer games are unfortunately inconsistent in quality, so we’ll reserve judgment until we see some gameplay.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin: your thoughts? What do you think of Age of Sigmar’s controversial rebranding in general?

Only eFootball was more universally hated. Balan Wonderworld and Babylon’s Fall are other villains in that awful rogue’s gallery.
