A firmware update appears to have finally become available for the Wii U, a little later than Nintendo personnel had predicted. Pre-release Wii U systems are now able to at least begin downloading the update.
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.

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.
Good job Ninty. :)
The Wii U is out in Japan already right?
I mean it would be beyond lame for there to be a system patch out *BEFORE* the actual system it was for. I'm talking brain hurtin' stupid.
Nevermind what it says that they put out a patch for something so soon released.
Finally? Lol are they serious?
Oh man, it's finally coming! It's finally here! I can barely contain myself! :D
The update was well worth it, just got done updating the first Wii U on to the second! This thing is as smooth as butter, I'm quite pleased with the UI and OS. Other than the HEFTY firmware update, the Wii U has been the fastest and friendliest of all my consoles however, my 360-Slim remains the fastest when updating the firmware. All in all I'm more than satisfied with my purchases. Bout to play some AC:III and NSMB U, enjoy everyone!
