For the past 8 months, Nintendo hasn’t been doing so hot lately in the sales performance department with the period between April and June being their worst. In order to remedy this clearly problematic issue, Nintendo is planning on launching a number of high profile system-selling franchises onto the console with Nintendo UK believing that The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD is one of arguably many.
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.
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.
Zelda is a massive system seller and ... will appeal to allot of youngsters and sell systems , wich is a good thing for Nintendo.
A remake of a game from Nintendo's slowest selling console could prove to be quite helpful to Wii U, especially with the limited edition bundles. But I wouldn't call it one of the heaviest hitters. I imagine Mario making a bigger impact since that one is technically a newer game.
Market that b***h. Then you have my permission to sell.
It was the only reason why I got a gamecube 10 years ago. I still have my copy. However, I'm not getting a Wii U only for a remake.
If they advertise the hell out of this game.
