With the next generation Playstation and Xbox on the horizon. It seems as though Nintendo is just going to sit out on this next-gen battle. But is it really over when it comes to the Wii U being relevant this generation?
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.
Release more games that people want. Duh. Pikmin and Zelda Wind Waker HD spiked sales a little. The price cut also helped. Now combine all that with Smash Bros. or Mario Kart. If the Wii U isn't selling better by next year, then it'll probably be another Gamecube at the worst.
Games.
There's an idea, market The U to the very crowd who hates it(that'll work).. I'm sick of people wanting the big N to cater to the "core" crowd, let's stop the madness and make your main fan base(the core Nintendo fan) happy, with games like Mario 3d world looking more and more awesome I think they are headed in the right direction..
Ok, I watched the whole video and again, I am stunned by the fact, that people really are not able to see its use.
I understand, that you do not need it for every game, for many games, it is simply for off tv play, sure, but we just have to wait for games like X. X looks like an MMORPG and for such games, it is perfect. Every RPG game, which is actually more complex and has a lot of different Items, like Skyrim, Oblivion, Diablo, maybe a DOTA. For these games, the Gamepad just adds so much more and everyone denying that, just doesnt want to see it or simply hates Nintendo, because of this stupid console war taking sides letting their life be consumed, by which console you have and play, but not the playing counts, it counts, what you can speak on boards... Gamepad is way more not a gimmick, than lets say Kinect.
I propose Wii U Free Edition. There are a few games that interest me, but the console itself isn't worth such a price tag. That's what Ps4 is for.
