VideoGamer: "Nintendo had a sold showing at this year's E3, highlighting its Wii U plans with confidence and belief. But in terms of what was on the showfloor, did it actually make that much of an impact?"
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.
Devil's Third is a game I'm gonna pick up.
The rest I wanted I already knew.
Yes, Nintendo actually won. I was a bit disappointed in Sony's E3.
Well I agree with boogie2988 when he said that "We gamers won" before anything else. Nintendo certainly put on a dang good show. Gotta give 'em credit where it's due. They pulled out the big guns for E3 and put out games, games and more games.
Not only wa it a good presentation no boring pr numbers talk, no awkward mishaps , nintendos treehouse live streams were awesome throughout all e3 week, they had a smash tournament and also let fans try it out ay bst buys.
Nintendo changed the way we look at e3
Other companies need to take notes
If we're talking about what was on the show floor, the Nintendo treehouse presentations, with all of that gameplay instead of cutscenes, and new details on their projects as well as interviews with the developers of the games, was more than enough to earn them the accolades.
Three days worth, at that.
I hope they make The Treehouse an annual thing for every E3 going forward, honestly!
