DLC is an area that Nintendo have no experience of, and it's one that they're going to have to learn quickly as the announcement of Nintendo Network also confirmed the ability to enable DLC in games. So what can Nintendo offer on the downloadable content market? From a company that demands perfection at launch, DLC will only come in the form of optional content, and there are a variety of exciting options available to Nintendo for their big three franchises.
If you were a 90s kid excited about Nintendo’s upcoming N64 console, you likely read something somewhere about the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive, also known as the 64DD or DD64.
Other nominees include games like SimCity & Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
There are some good nominees in this list that are deserving to be inducted also, but I feel Metroid has had the most impact on the industry out of all of these. Look how Metroid influenced the evolution of the Castlevania games, and the "Metroidvania" subgenre of games have become a prevailing force in gaming today. Especially now, Metroidvanias are bigger than ever.
I can very much see Resident Evil being added later too, bc it really did popularize and define the survival horror genre. I would say that one is next in line.
If any Metroid game should get the honor it should be Super Metroid , it's perfection in my eyes . 30 years later and I still feel it's the most epic shit ever .
The GBA remake deserves it or Super Metroid, the original was a very sloppy and rushed game programmed in 3 months and it shows.
If you've never played the remake, it's absolutely a must play, fixes basically every flaw in the game. Check out ExoParadigmGamer's comparison video.
“Before even Kirby was born, HAL Laboratory released the super-cute puzzler Adventures of Lolo in 1989 and it has held up beautifully.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
I have a feeling that DLC strait from Nintendo for in house games will be epic. I am sure they will add large upgrades and extensions to single player games. DLC from most other devs will likely be more of the same we have seen for the last 5 years.
It will look like free DLC :)
Nintendo did some DLC before, for Professor Layton and Picross 3D has downloadible puzzles
I see them doing it either really good or really bad. Like a new temple in LoZ for $5 or a Top Secret Area (infinite powerup room)in Mario for $5.
Long as its not price like and or look like Activision and Crapcom DLC, I don't care.
I would only care rof mariokart DLC classic and new tracks. and zelda expansion packs
