Nintendo can't do this alone. Iwata addresses the lack of third party Wii U and 3DS support.
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.
Glad they're finally acknowledging they have some problems they need to work out.
well maybe if they let 3rd party or indy devs put stuff on their eshop and get some of the profits they would have a better relationship with them.
Nintendo needs an actual next-gen console aimed at people who play games.
Even with the limitations Nintendo still can make great games. They just need people with new ideas.
my biggest issue with the Wii U, is that it's Nintendo's first HD console and their biggest games are 2-D platformers. if an HD Metroid game was available i would get a Wii U, but with the current games out i have no desire to get one.
