Reviewing Nintendo’s history provides a great opportunity to consider how video games have changed and how Nintendo titles have influenced the industry. While The Legend of Zelda recently celebrated its 40th anniversary, another popular Nintendo series actually shares a similar birthday, though a few years later. It’s interesting to note that both games were key in starting major franchises and were important technological advancements for the company.

At a recent comics conference, DC announced several exciting upcoming titles, including new Absolute editions like Absolute Green Arrow. They’ll also be publishing Barbara Gordon: Breakout, a story by Mariko Tamaki and Amancay Nahuelpan. In it, Barbara Gordon is arrested and imprisoned in Supermax, a dangerous prison full of criminals and untrustworthy guards. She’ll have to rely on her own strength and resourcefulness to escape.

The 2016 film Assassin’s Creed was intended to launch a movie franchise based on the popular Ubisoft video game series. The movie boasted a strong cast, including Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, and Jeremy Irons, and didn’t simply retell a game story, instead crafting a new one within the same world. Plans were already underway for two sequels, with one even in early development while the first film was being made. However, the movie was poorly received by both critics and audiences – it currently has a 18% rating on Rotten Tomatoes – and didn’t perform well financially, effectively ending any possibility of further films.

A key reason why the game Thief is so highly regarded is its realistic approach to stealth. The game carefully considers how light, sound, and the player’s actions all affect whether or not enemies can spot you. Enemy vision isn’t just a simple line of sight; it’s influenced by sounds and light sources in the environment. While the 2014 Thief remake didn’t emphasize this as much, games like Alien Isolation successfully use this system to create truly immersive and engaging experiences.
