"Recently, Codemasters’ Senior Executive Producer Clive Moody stated: "I think it [Wii U] is the future,” when talking to ABC’s News 10 about the prospects of the upcoming next generation of consoles. Will the Wii U be the “future” of home console gaming like Moody thinks it to be? What if it isn’t – what happens then? Well, let’s take a look through the looking glass, shall we?"
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.

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.
A lot of people tell me how "awesome" it would be if Nintendo did go third party. But frankly I think it's more detrimental than people believe.
Nintendo makes games very well. On hardware they understand. Why else does Mario Galaxy look so much better than much of its third party Wii brethren. The same came be said about The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker. Taking away their hardware would hinder that process.
I don't know. It seems ludicrous to me. It's like asking "why doesn't Sony go third party." It's not something I like to think about, especially since the big three are a hell of a lot more competent than Sega at making both hardware and software.
The reason this will not happen is because Nintendo owns the handeld market. If you look at game sales DS/3DS GENERALLY rule the market. I do not nor have I in 15 years even owned a handheld. I have been thinking about a 3DS though. Perhaps a Vita, IF there were any killer games. Apps do not impress me my phone does all that.
"In our intriguing recent interview with Wedbush Securities analyst, Michael Pachter, one of his statements really stands out in my mind when thinking on this topic: 'I expect to see fewer exclusives next generation.'"
I am so glad that someone mentioned that Article, it's not the only time I have heard that. Ubisoft said the same thing and Nintendo has been warning about this for some time.
we'd have more nintendo games and they'd have better graphics.
We can only wish....
