We know that the date released has to take into consideration the optimal sales window upon release, the time it takes to manufacture the proper amount of consoles, as well as having the games (both 1st and 3rd party) that have been promised to be available at launch, ready.
A question that many gamers have besides these though is this:
If the Nintendo Wii U is capable of 1080p resolution, more capable than current generation consoles, and easy to develop for as has been claimed, then why is Nintendo releasing it’s launch games at 720p resolution?"
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.

Good question.
They have already gav their reson and its that their games dont require 1080pto look gorgeous 720p native at 60fps is enough for their launch games to shine 3rd party games are all 1080p.
Because that is all the machine is able to do.....But people will forget that once Wii-U is onto 2nd gen games & Sony has released there console for the gaming media & fanboys to beat up on.
Casuals don't know the difference between 720p & 1080p, they simply aren't that educated, & Nintendo knows this.
Nintendo never had any intention of releasing a machine more powerful than PS3/360.
They are banking on the fanboys & casuals buying up another seemingly cheap, outdated machine.
I'm just really excited to see a Zelda game based on that tech-demo they showed us, now that was impressive
that actually sounds reasonable, smart move by nintendo. i'll probably buy a wii u when a new LoZ is announced :)
