GameDynamo - "it has to stick in the minds of your viewers without causing them to seize up with terror whenever they recall your product. That's where a lot of video game marketers seem to reach a sticking point - which is to say, their ads go from "eye-catching and memorable" or "charmingly plithy" to "possibly designed by a serial killer on LSD."
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.
Top 10 crappy top 10 lists.
Im already used to the creepy Sony ads....but that Nintendo You cannot beat us ad....O_O
It wasn't deranged, but I remember there was a great commercial for the N64 getting a price cut to $180. It was of a kid working at a fast food joint, and the second he got a paycheck for $180 he quit and bought the system. When I saw that commercial I literally got a job, worked for a weekend, and quit right after I could afford one. Good memories. :)
