WELCOME
T
he
pre-Christmas
release glut has
hit with the force of a
freight train, so this expanded issue is full of
big reviews.
Of course, the big
story of this month is the
hundreds of hours we'll
all be losing to Civilization VI, and we've got
Joey Relton providing
our official review.
Sam Fielding looks
at some of her favourite cover art in Wario
Ware: Smooth Moves,
while Chris Olewicz
questions the use of
Kickstarter as a career
move.
We have the first
part of an ongoing
investigation into the
little-known
gaming
magazine Pixel Nation, covering the birth,
death and lasting legacy of this long-forgotten publication.
The big news this past
month has been the reveal of Nintendo's new
system, the Switch, and
its implications for the
future of gaming.
Personally, I feel the
same way I always
have about new Nintendo systems - it will
come down to software. Will the Switch
manage to capture
the third party developers Nintendo have
always struggled with?
Will it be sold at a
low enough price to
encourage doubters?
Will it be made clear
enough to consumers
what it is and does?
I view Nintendo as
a beloved elderly relative gone off the boil
in old age. They're the
company that brought
me into gaming - and
I can only hope that
once again they come
roaring back to life.
Time, as ever, will
tell.
