Thankfully the good guys over at Sony decided one day that it would be cool if they re-released some of the best selling titles from the previous generation on their HD console in the PS3 and have brought gamers a ton of reasons to revisit some of the greatest classics in glorious HD.
With Nintendo's upcoming home console Wii U, Nintendo better be taking a page out of Sony's book and remaster some of their own classic franchises in stunning HD.
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.
Cultured Vultures: Put on your freshest dungarees and chow down on the ripest mushroom as we reel off the best Mario games ever made to celebrate Mar10 Day.
My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.
Mario Paint, Eternal Darkness.
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
and other Zelda games
Wind Waker, for sure. I forget how good some of these games look through the Dolphin emulator. And ditto on Eternal Darkness, if only to perk up interest for a sequel.
i kind of wish with the wii u nintendo would make wirless gamecube and n64 controllers specifically for use with these classic games.
Mgs Twin Snakes, Wind Waker, Eternal Darkness, Star Fox Adventures, Tales of Symphonia, Baten Kaitos 1 and 2, Resident Evil Remake, Metroid Prime Trilogy and those are just the gamecube games they have a boatload of under-apreciated wii games.
Id love for gamecube games to come to the 3ds. Tales of the Abyss proved ps2/gamecube games can run on the 3ds just fine. Id die for the REmake, twin snakes, and metroid prime to be on the 3ds. After Abyss i think Symphonia is a safe bet also, its the fan favorite and nintendo fans know it well. Either way just keep the games coming Nintendo!
