Gamnesia: "I have not exactly hidden the fact I am not a fan of Mr. Iwata as CEO of Nintendo. I think he’s a great person and an excellent problem solver, but most of the time he just spends his days cleaning up his own mistakes. It’s admirable, but generally you don’t want your CEO to be making the type of mistakes Iwata does.
One thing he has been right about all along has been his stance against going 3rd party. Releasing their games on mobile platforms and having their console offerings appear on competitor’s hardware sounds like a great strategy today, but it doesn’t consider the future of the medium. If Nintendo hops into the third party bandwagon, they very well may be turning into a sinking ship. If you think it’s bad now, you have no idea what would come with this close minded strategy."
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.
Whether they should/need to go 3rd party is something we just can't answer right now. We do know this though, Nintendo is going to really have to step it up in 2014 with the Wii U. It's going to be a critical year for the Wii U.
would love to see mario games on Sony and MS consoles
Nintendo one day should go 3rd party.
They're games would sell like hotcakes on Sony and MS systems.
Many gamers now adays do not trust or find Nintendo home consoles appealing.
They specialize in handheld consoles & nostalgia.
I pray for the day that a studio like SSM or Naughty Dog can get a hold of The Legend of Zelda ip...
They would make a huge load of money, but they are too stubborn.
