IGN looks ahead to what’s on the way next from the Big N’s biggest brands.
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.
The small country of Nauru will probably put a man on Jupiter before we see a new Ice Climber game.
Iowa!

AH!, ok, I admit I had that one coming...Seriously though, ow! I do wish Nintendo was at a national state though...
I always forget just how many IPs Nintendo has. I hope they all get new games this generation. Also, I hope the author is right about a new 3DS Zelda coming in 2013.
Franchises that could definitely use some invigoration...
-Star Fox
-F-Zero
-Metroid (something completely different from Other M at least writing wise)
-Kirby (seriously, HD sequel to Air Ride or Return to Dreamland, I'll take either)
-Earthbound (never gonna happen, but I want it)
-Dillon's Rolling Western (I think it deserves an HD sequel. That's one new IP I'm very enthusiastic about)
EDIT: A new Pokemon Snap would be nice too.
How awesome would it be if Retro made a new Starfox?
Then again, it would be equally awesome it they just made another Metroid...
