Today Video Gaming Hard Corps talks about why you should probably start caring about Nintendo again. The future is starting to look much brighter for Nintendo and the Wii U.
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.
But- but- how can I start, when I never stopped??
Then just keep being a loyal supporter. As a fan of Nintendo myself, I payed attention less and less since the Gamecube era. Nintendo simply did not peak my interest. This news now is looking much better than anything I've seen from them in a long time.
I am really excited about the Xenoblade game!
I have always been meh about Nintendo...except in the case of the N64 which by the way REMAINS my favorite console of all time. I see that, however, this time around...Nintendo is doing some stuff...they got some things up their sleeve...they got that confident swagger going on like they know something we don't...I'm excited for what they have to offer this generation. I haven't picked up the Wii U yet I will wait on that front. I do have a 3DS though...and with Monster Hunter, Zero Escape and Fire Emblem it looks like my portable lineup just got full. Can't wait to see what's in store for Nintendo in the future.
I liked the announcement for the VC coming to the Wii U soon. Hopefully they'll have remote play on the gamepad and incorporate gamecube titles later on down the line
