"Woke up to the news this morning of a 3DS revision. My excitement quickly turned to "huh?" Does Nintendo even listen to it's audience anymore?"
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.
Nintendo stopped listening a long long time ago.
I can't wait to get my hands on this. Everyone drones on about a second circle pad. GET OVER IT!
@mikeCosgrove
The 3DS hottest selling portable right now in the top 5 hardware sales of the world and you're saying the consumers were disappointed?
I believe only the Sony psp fans wanted a second analog, the DS guys were doing fine with its huge library of games.
this is why I'll never buy a 3DS and play the games i want to play like Resident Evil Revelations and Kingdom Hearts 3D, add a second circle pad and I'll consider. I'll just wait for the PS Vita ports of those games instead
Oh look at the Nintendo fanboys trying to justify another Nintendo EPIC FAIL...do you guys ever accept when Nintendo do something wrong. No wonder they get away with this kind of stuff because people just take it like a b*tch.
3DS Price, 3DS lack of launch games, ignoring their fans, still in bed with the casuals, Wii U E3 2011, Wii U E3 2012...now the 3DS XL WITHOUT the second circle pad, COME ON.
