Nintendo has said its loss-making Wii U swings to profit with just a single game purchase along with the console.
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.
Very strange margin but if true then it can't be much but a profit is still a profit I guess no matter how small.
good job Nintendo.
does that include nintendoland bundled?
if so then that would be smart.
Why wouldn't they have said this earlier? I mean, we've known for quite a while that they were taking a loss on each system; wouldn't that have been a good time to add in, "Oh, but we make that loss back if they buy just ONE game?"
I'm confused as to why they would wait so long to announce this.
Any under-powered system can be sold for a profit at $300. Current gen is more powerful than this next gen product, so why shouldn't they make a profit. You're the fool if you feel you need this backward technological mistake. Either that or you're just as bad as Apple whores
