SG: ''I’m worried about Nintendo. Yes, I know that I’ve told you here on SlashGear that I’m not the biggest fan of the Wii (or Wii U, for that matter) and I’m suspect of the value of Nintendo’s games library, but the company is still important to me.''
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.

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.
No. I hope Nintendo becomes just a software developer because the games are amazing but not really worth buying another console for because you'll need a another for 3rd party game. Same goes for MS. Their hardwares ok but they only have halo, gears and forza(kind of) right now. If it weren't for timed exculsives and all that underhanded stuff they started they'd be out of business IMO. Sony also needs to realize that they need to advertise their games more and space them out too. Overall I would want I e company ruling the market so power to the gamer.
They wont fail. I mean look at Vita. Its still alive and kicking.
if one company goes down they arent going to take the whole console industry with them. that is just silly
if the wii u goes kerplunk, how exactly would that hurt the other consoles? if anything it would mean more sales for them.
and you cant really use competitiveness as an excuse. the wii u isn't pushing the PS4 or 720 in a competitive sense. those consoles are blazing ahead of it on every conceivable level. as far as sony and microsoft are concerned, the wii u doesnt even exist. it's irrelevant to them.
Congratulations!

Nintendo has been anything but traditional with their bizarre controller designs. In my opinion the Wii and Wii U controller go against everything that traditional gaming stands for. But that isnt really a problem because the 2 console provides their own unique experiences and if anyone wants to play traditional games they have the Playstation and the XBOX brand to satisfy their needs.
