The overwhelming consensus from a majority of gamers who commented was that the Wii U has, for all intents and purposes, already failed.
Um, what?
This isn’t exclusive to the hordes of comments I’ve read over the past 24 hours, but more a contagious school of thought that’s becoming more and more prominent in the video game industry."
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.
Ummm, you hear this about almost every console. The PS3, the 3DS, the Vita, now the Wii U. It's not like it's JUST the Wii U being singled out here.
On the internet everyone hates everything. It's like Pandora from Borderlands.
Because they were saying it shortly after its official reveal and have seen little which corrects said assumption?
I mean I've already said that I'll get it for what's likely Xenoblade 2, but the game still has to come out and on this side of the pond.
