"Nintendo hasn’t had it good for the last few years. With the Wii U underperforming for most of its life, Amiibos being scalped for exorbitant prices, a dubious mobile games plan, and the company’s overall inability to get with the times, things have not been great at the house that Mario built.
Amid all of this however, it turns out that Nintendo has managed to turn a profit for the first time in years. What was the cause of this and can the famous Japanese games company continue this momentum? This story and the questions surrounding it form the basis of our featured topic this week.
Other gaming topics include: No Sony conference at Gamescom, no Sega booth at E3, Batman: Arkham Knight DLC, and Oculus Rift release date."
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.
Sea of Thieves is the first Rare-developed game to launch for a PlayStation console, and Sony was heavily involved in helping the studio bring the swashbuckling pirate romp to its flagship console.
Out of curiosity could any of these ms games going to ps5 have been leaked by Sony themselves? Not Sony but someone at Sony
sony isn't about to let some console wars get in the way of trying to make microsoft become a third party dev by showing them that they make more money with them than without them. of course with that in mind they'd help them. it's also doubly so because microsoft are bringing what is considered a popular game over that can also make sony money
Nice.
Still don't want it though.
Tell me Killer Instinct is coming to PS5 and then we'll talk.
“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.
I'm happy for Nintendo. Let's hope they do better.
People really complained because Black Widow showed "weakness?" I hate living in this world sometimes. Do people instantly forget about the awesome new female character?
