Reader Discussion: How Do You Prefer To Learn About A Game?
Everyday, a new screenshot appears on the official Super Smash Bros. website. Sometimes it reveals a new character or a new item, but often it reveals nothing at all. What do you think of this delivery method of information?
Typically, video games will announce their intentions to release and only surface every few months to offer a dump of information, and then go back into hiding. For Super Smash Bros., Nintendo has opted to offer tiny little details nearly every day with bigger announcements, like character reveals, sprinkled in every now and then.
Do you like learning about the game this way? Would you rather learn a lot of information all at once? Or do you – like me – check the Smash Bros. website every morning as part of your routine, hoping for something cool? Do you wish more games would deliver information this way? Or is it something that really only works with a game like Super Smash Bros.? Let us know in the comments below.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
