Nintendo has made some big announcements during their Nintendo Direct broadcast, but Andrew Whipple III isn’t so convinced that the company is moving in the right direction.
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.
I like that this author cited both negatives and positives and actually took an objective look at the matter. I do think the cynicism was unnecessary considering that people told Nintendo to bring on some core experiences and they managed to announce six in a single Nintendo Direct conference. Hopefully E3 (as well as further conferences) will take this approach even further.
This year E3 gonna be very important for Nintendo especially when you got MS & Sony introducing they new Console, even though Nintendo got a lot of New exclusives coming out that still ain't enough for the Wii U to succeed they still need 3rd party games like GTA 5 and Tomb Raider.
i think its a waste of time if nintendo was trying to convince haters or non-gamers.....but nintendo direct did appeal to gamers.
Nothing against Nintendo but I really hate Reggie's face, like literally loath looking at it. Makes me cringe.
Those eyes just have no depth to me, snake eyes.
The only people who didn't like that Nintendo direct are people who didn't like Nintendo before it. You can't convince a biased person.
There is nothing you can do for them. They will push hatred forward no matter what.
Their opinions are irrelevant because they aren't open minded opinions. They want the worst to happen and will spin everything negatively. Taking what they say as a valid point achieves nothing except making their ill conceived points look valid. That just fuels more trolling.
Let them hate. I'll be enjoying my games and so will ever other "real" gamer.
