Nintendo has announced a redesigned Wii, officially called the Wii Mini. It may have a lower entry point for people that still don't have a Wii and want one, but what's stopping them from simply buying the original Wii? Why does the Wii Mini exist at all?
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.
It seems about a year or two late to me, If it should have been released at all.
Cash in for the holidays. It even gives off a christmas-y vibe with the red.
It's a good idea really. It's for people who don't care about features such as online play. It's for people who just want a really cheap system to play games. A parent who wants to buy a console for their kid but has a tight budget. Someone who is just getting into gaming and wants a cheap console so they haven't wasted too much money if they don't get into it. If you're a 'hardcore' gamer (whatever one of those are) then it's not for you, get a Wii U or a 360 or something.
