The New Nintendo 3DS is seemingly a great device and a suitable upgrade compared to the previous one. In fact, it’ll be the one to make me finally purchase a 3DS. However, Nintendo still hasn’t learned from the mistake of too many different versions of their devices as well as confusing names.
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.
if it was a mistake they wouldn't have made the gameboy color, gameboy advance, gameboy micro, DS Lite, DSi, DS XL, 3DS XL... all contributed the success of their respective platform.
It's a successful business model and Sony and MS also do it.. nothing out of the ordinary.
It'll sell like crazy in Japan, in the west, I'm not so sure... the biggest mistake though is that they totally killed 3DS sales in the west from the time of this announcement until the New 3DS gets released here... People who would have gotten a 3ds to play smash will now want to wait until they can get the one with a c-stick for example
