And, yes, there are legitimate criticisms of the console that need to be resolved before it has a hope of replicating the success of the original Wii.
There is a message that seems to be lost amongst all this criticism though, and it’s one that I feel is important to point out because it means that ultimately the Wii U has more than a fighting chance in the market"
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.

lol...nintendo reminds me that the wiiu is going to be a huge success and win next generation...haters will hate of course and will hold on to the negatives...so what a firmware update and features not on till december...by january all will be forgotten and the system will be the shinning star it deserves to be heading into next generation..
WiiU a fun experience and nothing is absolutely perfect at launch. Anyone whos ever owned a console already knows this.
Dang now I feel old. : (
Me and my wife also love local co-op. It's the main reason I'm getting a Wii U.
Only time will tell if Nintendo brings the exclusives then I personally will deem the console a success I don't care about how much sold all I want is my classic Nintendo guys and hopefully for Nintendo to invest in new ips.
