VB - You have to love the game business and the beauty of competition. As Nintendo’s fortunes sink in the video game console business, Ouya’s fortunes are rising with its $15 million in venture funding. It is conceivable that the console business could become a four-horse race.
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.
Buy Ouya? For what--the Android capability, or it's ability to use cloud? Both of which the Wii U (and just about any internet enabled console/phone) can do, if they worked something out to be able to run Android.
Also, why would a huge company like Nintendo wanna buy Ouya, when the device will be a hotbed for bootleg games and emulators. Nintendo doesn't wanna get sued for supporting that. Ouya on the other hand, will probably just play stupid and claim that the "developers" made those emulators, attempting to deflect blame from themselves. But a Billion dollar corporation like Nintendo can't simply do that.
I don't think so Tim.
Bought OUYA and release a $99 console hardware without Storage medium like DVD?.. Good plan!.. /sarcasm
"Activision Blizzard isn’t making a Wii U version of Call of Duty: Ghosts,"
Well, since activision has never denied or confirmed whether or not it is coming to the wiiu I don't think you should be making such claims.
"“Once you have a tablet, there is not much reason to buy a Nintendo,” Gordon said. “What they have left is the Miyamoto exclusive box. If you want his games, then you spend the $300 on whatever Miyamoto makes. But that’s a box for tens of millions, not hundreds of millions.”"
Well that just undermines the creators of all the other great first party franchises NOT made by miyamoto like metroid, kirby, smash bros, and f-zero.
"Maybe Nintendo could get rid of hardware and make its software available on all platforms, as EA and Activision are doing."
No, just no. Out of all the other third party publishers nintendo could be 'like' you chose EA, voted worst company in America TWICE, and Activision, known for yearly releases of games in a series that has become the definition of a milked generic franchise.
