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.
Star Citizen will be that game
What I love about indie games is you get what you pay for/download. AAA Titles love their DLC's waaaaay too much. I guess there are still DLC's for smaller indie games but they're no where near as expensive.
Chris Roberts from Star Citizen will do that, definately.
Outlast? The guys who worked on that moved from AAA to indie...
George Kamitami?
I mean, VanillaWare is almost indie, right? It's been formed by ex-Capcom / Atlus team members. They're a small team with great ambition, and most of their games are exceptional.
Sure, they get a lot of help from Atlus (which is still a niche publisher / developper), but they're nowhere as big as EA or Ubisoft or even Square-Enix.
Maybe not indie, but certainly not a big blockbuster AAA dudebro studio...
