Bethesda’s Pete Hines has poured scorn on Nintendo’s efforts to discuss their intentions for Wii U with third-party publishers ahead of the console’s announcement.
Asked as to what the company could do once again attract them, Hines stated that the time for that “has long past” and that Microsoft and Sony involve them in the design process far more.
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.
The current leadership of Nintendo is just out of touch with many publishers/studios
Instead making that silly little video about on how you publisher thought Nintendo WiiU change gaming at E3 2012(could been 2011) you guys should've went to them and gave them some demands.
I would have rather seen the WiiU delay a year or two with better third party support than release sooner with terrible third party support.
"Asked as to what the company could do once again attract them, Hines stated that the time for that “has long past”"
Ouch!
Oh Bethesda come back when you actually made a game for Nintendo then say that.
Besides I wouldn't want your games on Wii U anyways. From what I played Skyrim on 360 got me bored about 3 hours in.
On Topic.
Maybe Nintendo went to the developers who once supported them every generation and not just some random publishers who never had interest.
a lot of 3rd party turned their back on nintendo a long time ago abd since then they have been doing just fine marching to their own drum beat..
