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.
Microsoft has announced the Microsoft Rewards app on Xbox will be discontinued in April and has confirmed that weekly streaks will also be coming to an end.
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.
And since it's just a Gossip.. I'll leave it all to you guys.
Hey Jade, nice news feed this week, you constantly improve. And yeah as the new guy taking over as CEO, he is already failing trying to lead Nintendo. E3, the most important games media in the world...they are not showing up.
Personally, I like that Nintys finally getting a wake up call. I'm tired of them piggybacking off of Zelda, Mario, and Pokemon. They need to grow up with their audience or be left in the dust. I know Pokemons still selling well, but SURELY theres had to be SOME dropoff over the years to warrant a new powerhouse Nintendo IP.
Now to more pressing matters, Jade, will this new hair style be a regular thing? The usual one brings out your eyes much better IMO =)
This is a great video about hair.
