This morning CNET released a video detailing it’s top 5 worst tech gifts for the 2013 holiday season, and the Nintendo Wii U, sadly made the list.
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.
Wow, that's kinda harsh. I'd love a Wii U as a gift.
please dont get me a wii u, im a real gamer
Take that Blackberry.
Youre worse than a WiiU.
If you got a Wii U for christmas instead of a PS4, even an Xbox One as a kid today, you would cry of disappointment.
I have no intention of getting a Wii U but I sure as hell wouldn't turn one down if a family member bought one for me.
The Wii U shouldn't be on this list. No games console should.
