Mike Wehner of TUAW writes, "With its marquee home console, the Wii U, thoroughly underperforming in sales and the 3DS falling considerably short of its predecessor's performance over the 28 months since its release, it's time for Iwata-san to reconsider his stance on iOS."
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.
Hahaha. No.
No.
No, it doesn't 'need' to. Considering the DS sold over 150 million units and was one of the most successful consoles ever it'd be hard-pressed to not fall short of that, much less match it. Does Sony need to reconsider things because the PS3 sold less than the PS2? No.
Meh lol
No. Nintendo are fine as they are.
