Nintendo’s new console is struggling. We ask what went wrong and whether it can turn things around.
AS Nintendo’s new console, the tablet-controlled Wii U, approaches its six month anniversary, things are not looking great for the Japanese games giant.
Sales, while not disastrous, are almost certain to fall some way below Nintendo’s original forecast of 5.5m units by the end of last month.
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.

What the funk is up with the flamebait headline? Use the original! The heck is up with you iGAM3R-VIII??
the day Nintendo decided to put out such a mediocre next gen console was the day they doomed themselves.
Ps4 & Next-gen Xbox are the future. Sorry Nintendo
Oh yeah? wait till the other two launch and let see if they can even match the wiiu's sales. I don't think so but we'll see what happens.Being it has outsold the 360's launch. So that was a failed launch too right. If it is so mediocre then how come developers actually working with it tend to disagree. Do you fanboys only believe what each other say, or do you only read what each other write. Just wondering. P.S. rumor has it that 1 broadway core destroys a jaguar core that's why they are putting 8 in there.
WiiU is a failure, in comparison to the Wii. period.
Get over it.
@mudmax sorry mud. You guys can be in denial all you want, but the bottom line is the WiiU didn't come out of the gate with huge sales as did the Wii.
You think once PS4 and Next-gen Xbox comes out, it will help the WiiU sales even more?
Yea ok, I guess I have no glue.
Good day guys.
