With some fans taking heated aim at developer Platinum Games over the news that Bayonetta 2 will be released exclusively for the WiiU, Mark Butler argues that such hateful attacks are not just ludicrous generally – but completely nonsensical in this case.
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.
I'm sorry for being an idiot but I can't help it. =(
It's not their fault that Sega decided to scrap the project
Jesus it wasnt even that good a game...
"Hating On Platinum Games Over Bayonetta 2′s WiiU Exclusivity? You’re An Idiot"
You're just mad that the reception hasn't been unanimous approval. It's your fault for not seeing this coming.
How are people actually surprized that people are mad...I mean really. Yes some people might be a little immature about it but can you really blame them if they liked the game so much
People keep saying "Oh it wouldn't exsist without Nintendo" yeah well Bayonetta as a franchise wouldn't of exsisted with the 360/PS3 fanbase
It just bugs me that the majority of Nintendo console only users most likely didn't give a crap about Bayonetta, dismissed it like so many other third party titles because it never came to the Wii but now because the sequel is an exclusive it's like "YAY...AMAZING FRANCHISE, SO EXCITED"....
I mean it's like if Square Enix made Kingdom Hearts 3 a Wii U exclusive...would that be fair when the fanbase is the PS3 majority and they are the ones that got it where it is today.
For me it's not about what console it's on...I'll buy a Wii U in the far future and will play it eventually but it's just a slap to the face to the real Bayonetta fans, the ones who actually played and finished the first game.
