Max Level: The NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) was the first console that I have ever owned. I remember jumping on top of Goombas’ heads while keeping a steady pace and trying to beat my high score at the same time, was so exhilarating as a kid. Playing Super Mario Bros. on the NES was something special, something magical. My parents still have old photos of me as a child in diapers, enjoying various games that the NES had to offer — I was a very happy child at the time. Sometimes, my older cousin would come over and indulge on some multi-player with me , when he babysat me; there was nothing like couch multi-player at that time. It was wonderful, playing games such as: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Duck Hunt, Megaman, and Castlevania . My next console was the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System), everything that I loved from the previous console was there, but with upgraded graphics and a much sleeker design for its body and controllers. Then there was: the N64 (Nintendo 64), GameCube, Wii, and the Wii U.
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.
Ours just sits on the shelf. I did play the new Donkey Kong a few times but it got boring fast. Their p.r. is awful as they want all the coverage but never send product to review. When you say fine, no more coverage their cry poverty and then send some old 3Ds codes to appease you. Now they want us to push Mario Kart 8 and said well we will log your request. I said no, you guarentee a review copy or no coverage.
Great article dude
Article sucked. This guy would rather have a movie story line then AAA game play? He has it backwards. Prolly would get his ass whipped in Mariokart and Smash Bros.
Sorry I cannot take this guy seriously. All of his points are not only ridiculously false, They are generalized nonsense.
Funny timing as I just bought my first Nintendo console since the GameCube.
