With just a few months to go before the launch of Wii U, Nintendo needed to use this E3 to convince gamers of all stripes that its new system would be worthwhile. Sadly, with little more than old third party ports and retreads of family oriented games shown, the company failed to capture anyone's attention.
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.
.... this presentation certainly hasn't convinced me that I need to buy a WiiU at launch.
Very disappointing.
Disappointing show:(
Sad...
I was impressed with the updated controller and system as they're really slick, but past the first 20 minutes or so it dropped off a cliff. I have no doubt in it because the titles are going to come, but a little reassurance would have been nice damnit.
I'm not reading the story, But the headline is right...
Not an awful show, but definitely an awful showcase for the wiiu....
Disappointing for a launch conference. It's looking like the 3DS event will be the main highlight.
