Nintendo’s new system is already being sold out only days after launch. It seems the Wii U is having no problem selling units. While most stores “technically” sold out of the Wii U months ago with pre-orders, most stores did keep some systems in stock until Black Friday. If you got a Wii U system on Black Friday you were lucky cause they’re pretty much sold out everywhere.
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.
not here i was on blackfriday line and when wiiu vouchers came around no one asked for one.
Thought so, it is a pretty decent seller.
Completely sold out everywhere in my city.
Yep, sold out everywhere in my city. Not sure why it's surprising though, everything sells out on Black Friday. Couple that with it's a brand new system and of course it was going to sell out.
I went to Best Buy here in Mesa Arizona and there was still one a deluxe and basic on the shelf after the huge crowed had left.
