Today, one bold statement was made. One so bold that it can said that one Japanese developing team are aiming to make difference in the video game industry. The company of which I am speaking of is none other but Monolith Soft.
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.
Looking forward to see what Japan has in store. They really need to wake up considering how this current gen went. If they want to get back in the game, they'll need to deliver AAA content that matches up to the current game western developers are doing
It seems to me that in this generation, a lot of bold statements are made by developers, almost on a weekly basis, so much so that they've diluted the impact such statements used to have in the past when their words were at least backed up by actions.
Although saying that, I remember I was stupid enough to fall for the hype for The Matrix videogame and how it would change gaming forever. I felt like such a fool for believing the hype the developers made when the reviews came out and when I eventually played the game.
Saying that you want to "wow players" is a pretty generic statement but here's hoping that there is substance to that. Nonetheless, it's good to know that a Japanese developer acknowledges the failings of the Japanese industry and feels pressured and driven to deliver a new HD experience on the Wii U.
"Our goal is to become something like the developers of the Fallout series, Bethesda Softworks."
so their next game will have a lot bugs eh?
jokes aside, they made xenoblade, i expect great things from them.
i know that i will be Wowed! by the next gen game Monolith studio makes. i mean after playing Xenoblade Chronicles.With Wii U power and Gamepad the possibilities are endless.
