Vortex Effect: This is an impressions article, not a review (you need more than a day with a piece of hardware to properly review it), but so far I am absolutely happy with my purchase of a Wii U and see it getting plenty of playing time far into the future. The GamePad really is a game changer, and for stuff like Madden, it’s going to be hard to want to play with a standard controller again. If you’re on the fence and even have a slight interest in playing Nintendo first-party titles, then I highly recommend the Wii U. The OS is a little slow, but it is, so far, proving to be a a great next gen console that warrants a place on your entertainment center.
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.

They all want Nintendo to flop, but yet again everyone will be eager copy them one way or the other.
After reading that thing I have no idea how Nintendo has changed the game. That title is horrible.
When I saw the Giant Bomb stream I thought I went back in time 7 years.
