Legally, Nintendo owns any reproduction of their characters’ likenesses. Copyright law is incredibly confusing, convoluted and different around the world. Fan art, self edited trailers, Let’s Play videos and everything in between all infringe on Nintendo’s copyrights in certain countries and to varying degrees.
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.
don't feed the troll
Except they said they won't remove the videos and it won't incur a strike against the account. Animavicion has it right.
Nintendo being hella greedy, Im glad Im not covering their games on my channel.
For those wondering, Nintendo gave gaming networks on Youtube permission to upload/monetize videos of their games, which these networks can give to their partners. Nintendo then did a complete 180 (probably because they're struggling) and started to claim the partners videos instead.
Its quite sad they have to do something like this, sure they will get some money out of it...but in return they will lose alot of FREE advertising/exposure these BIG Youtubers give to their games as they will stop covering their games.
lol, try to claim copy right from LP vid, these same vids help you speard your game to the other gamers whom use them to find out about gameplay before they buy that game
kudos, Iwata
It do seem that way! Lol
