Nintendo is still going strong with the year of Luigi and has brought along plenty of new information about already announced games, along with a few new announcements.
Some of the announcements also confirm that some of their announcements from their Japanese Nintendo Direct is making the trip overseas, such as all three of Level 5′s Guild02 titles.
The biggest surprise however was the announcement of a sequel to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Much like the original, the new game will play in a top down view, but will implement 3D elements and an interesting gameplay element where you can become a drawing and move against the walls. Keep an eye out for it this holiday season.
Make the jump to see today’s announcements.
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.
what a joke
