Lucas takes a look at the Zelda franchise and discusses what he think Nintendo should do to keep the franchise going for another 25 years.
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.
Nintendo needs to allow Retro (or somebody) to make a "New Legend of Zelda" in the same vein as NSMB on the DS/Wii/etc. Take the series back to its NES/SNES roots. Add multiplayer a la Four Swords. Shift the focus AWAY from fetch quests, NPCs, and the same old puzzles and focus on quick arcade-style combat and exploration like the old games had. See what happens. A revamp worked for 2d Mario. It worked for Donkey Kong and Metroid (both of which were done by Retro) until Metroid Other M totally killed Metroid's momentum.
I believe miyomoto already said a few weeks ago that retro is busy working on another game. I hope Nintendo has some really good surprises in store for us at E3. I would love a new wave race and pilotwings myself. And yes, I would want the new luigi's mansion on wiiU too cause I loved the first one on the gc.
Change the name to Legend of Link. Seriously why is Zelda's name in the title? Link does all the dangerous stuff.
Just give us a grown up Zelda for once. I loved twilight princess, They need to take Link into his 20's damnit.
Don't even mention Ocarina with Adult Link, that's a completely different thing. I was so bummed out by Skyward sword after coming off of Wind waker and link aging into Twilight princess.
well retro has hired a lead game programer from naughtydog to work on game engines for Wii u so expect something amazing from them but that said zelda should stay with EAD and let retro make a new ip for Wii u it needs a new franchise.
