Playeressence's Furious Francis discusses the Wii U's current place among the PS3 and Xbox 360, the critics, and Nintendo's strategy going forward.
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.
Lots of great points made in this article. Like I've said before, the Wii U will become more desirable once it's library expands and probably once a price cut happens (This will probably depend on how Sony and Microsoft price their next consoles). I know I plan on getting one by the end of the year for sure because I know the games available for it will be much improved compared to the offerings it has right now.
With a Vita price cut apparently right around the corner(if the news from Japan this morning is any indication) I know I'll pick one up as well. I'll get a PS4 too but not at launch though as I've promised myself that I would not buy any system at launch and instead wait for it's library to grow. The wait for the 20th is killing me though. Can't wait to see what Sony shows off. And thinking about whatever Nintendo might be working on(Retro Studios especially) has me very excited. 2013 is gonna be a year to remember and I'm glad to be along for the ride.
oh my god, an honest article on the wii u! how did it end up here? oh well, it's so nice to see a fact based article and not some jerry springer bull crap from mike PUKE TER, UH ,PACHTER. the wii u is not doomed, i agree that the wii u has gotten off to a slow start, and just like the article says, wait until the fall, wii u will pick up in sales, and i wonder if PUKER will doom and gloom sony and micro soft if their machines don't sell that well when they come out.. we need more honest and fair articles like this one!! the economy is bad, and there are other factors to consider, big thumbs up to this article for setting things straight!
It's not doomed...I for one am waiting to see what they do with the likes of Zelda n such...I admittedly will get the next Xbox/PS first though. Nintendo will be ok.
The Wii U according to actual stats is performing the same as the ps2 did when it was released and is doing better than both the ps3 and 360 in the same time frame of release.
Just like the 3DS, it will pick up momentum once it hits the fall lineup, Zelda Wind Waker, 3D Mario, and Mario Kart 8. Maybe even Retro Studio's Metroid will make it for fall.
