Nintendo stated recently that the first original Zelda game for Wii U will be an 'entirely new take' on the series, especially when compared to Wind Waker.
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.
Nintendo talking about the Wii U Zelda just before E3? My senses are tingling...
Windwaker HD screenshots look great but I just hope they make the other Wii U Zelda look like the E3 2011 tech demo
So...an open world Zelda? And by open world I mean GTA style, no loading screens...unless were heading inside a cave, dungeon, castle or house.
I mean an open world Zelda or Mario game can be done, if GTA, Just Cause, Saints Row can be done on current gen consoles then I'm sure this can be done on Nintendos next gen hardware
I don't own a Wii U, but I'm interested to see what the new Zelda will be like if this is the case. Shoot, it might even push me to buy a Wii U if it looks really promising.
I hope it'll have a style similar to Majora's Mask. I enjoyed how disturbing that game got compared to Ocarina.
