HeurisCcs and Best pracCces
Let’s talk about games
UI vs Gameplay
Mario Kart 8 - Wii U
User Interface
Generally, all UX and Usability best pracAces can be applied to UI
Nielsen’s HeurisAcs ✔
Learnability ✔
Memorability ✔
Efficiency ✔
Error PrevenAon ✔
SaAsfacAon ✔
UAlity ✔
What about Gameplay?
Not parAcularly trying to reduce the number of steps for
players to reach their objecAve.
A high number of steps can parCcipate in making the
game challenging and saCsfying for the player
Save the princess
Efficiency/Error PrevenCon
Super Mario Bros. - Wii U
Fun rather than UClity
