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.

I wouldn't quite call it the perfect system for me. The offerings of the rest are shallow in comparison.
Nintendo is doing a great job.
Look, in spite of it all, nobody wants Nintendo to fail...but you have to admit the management team for Wii U seem to have their collective heads stuck up their jacksies.

You clearly don't like playing games then.
Perfect for you? then you play it... i´ve better consoles to play with
The Wiiu is a great console but it is just lacking the exclusive games and big named ones it need for propel to buy it.
For my Wiiu I have mariou, zombieu, Lego city, cod bo2, Tekken tag 2, Nintendo land and sonic all star racers 2. Now all of theses games are fun games to play depending on the mood im in but the 3rd party games I have are not games that would make gamers go out and buy a Wiiu because they can get it on a console they own so why would anyone go out and spend £300 to play the same game on there current console.
Once e3 is over and we see what Nintendo have to offer we will see what shape they are going into the latter half of the year in. If the announce Mario kart, super smash bros, fzero, Zelda or Metroid these type of games will start to move more consoles.
The ps4 and next Xbox will be in the same boat as the Wiiu when they come out if they only have 3 exclusives and then loads of games that are on there current consoles as well.
