(GamesIndustry International) Reggie Fils-Aime on pricing, the five month launch window and why the industry thought Nintendo were "nuts"
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.
Cultured Vultures: True Nintendo fanatics may know some of these, but we doubt that everyone knows all of these facts about the NES.
I bought always awakening and it's sequel off Amazon for ps4 I didn't know it was released for nes for retro people lol.
Which is why your hardware is 4 years old (5 when released). Yet you market it as next gen.
Doesnt really matter though, console gamers dont care about graphics. I say good strategy ;-)
and that is why they created the Wii
Smart decision. Your A LOT more likely to stay selling at profits. Even though Gamecube sold 22 million Nintendo made profits. Microsoft made a loss on every Xbox sold.
Reggie I don't really think you're giving the WII U the vote of confidence that you think you are!
That statement is more telling than most people will realise.
Thats obvious lol and it is a good business model especially since ppl buy into the nintendo pr talk and buy the hardware irregardless of how outdated the tech is and how weak it is compared to the competition. If i were nintendo id be doing the same thing.
