"Andrew Wang of Celtic Gamer writes" Don't get me wrong, I love the WiiU, in fact, I'm rooting for it. Ever since I was young, I always played Nintendo. I had a N64, Gameboy and DS. I was pretty obsessed with Nintendo like a lot of people were at that time. Although as time past, so did my enjoyment over Mario and Zelda. Nintendo was nothing more than a mere memory.
Sure, I would invite some friends and play Super Smash Brother's Brawl or Mario Kart together, but I felt that the Wii was just a Mario console. It had no third-party support, and no multi platform games. Lets be honest here, the Wii was nothing more than a console to play first party games. Soon after the Wii sold over 100 million consoles, the WiiU came along. The unfortunate timing eventually led to the demise of the WiiU.
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.
It's far from being abandoned! Almost 6 million adoptees would say otherwise, but Nintendo really needs to push that 3rd party support, and play to the consoles strengths.
Have to disagree about the original wii getting no 3rd party support. Most of the wii titles i own are third party. It got a decent bit of support because it sold so well, and a lot of 3rd party exclusives because of the hardware gap.
Wii U is getting railed by the press right now, but its mostly due to Nintendo's mistakes not 3rd parties abandoning them.
The Hardware is far more powerful then the press would have you believe. But Nintendo just needs better marketing, And more 3rd Party Exclusives that people want, and far quicker, no more game delays and shedule changes.
There plan to get 3rd parties to work on forgotten IPS like Metroid, Starfox, Bomberman will get the ball rolling soon, glad they finally admitted their mistakes.
Also they're probably going to acquire Capcom and some other companies, which is great. Street Fighter and Resident Evil will be Wii U exclusive and Resident Evil 7 will be a Reboot.
They're mistakes are the issue, not 3rd party. 3rd Party games generally have to compete with Nintendo 1st Party, they have little incentive to release games on the console. Especially when you have to compete with Nintendo's heavy hitters.
