"Hey everybody, another generation of Pokémon has arrived! As one of the best selling franchises on Nintendo’s portable systems since Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green launched in Japan back in 1996, this should get DS (and 3DS) owners quite excited. Thing is, TheGamerAccess.com always comes to the same verdict with almost every main Pokémon game they play: solid turn-based RPG mechanics, updated graphics, small nifty additions, better connectivity, but in essence it’s the same game you’ve been playing since 1998. Well, the fifth generation games are here, promising more changes, and we are going to see if it can give the series some more fresh air. "

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.
Cultured Vultures: True Nintendo fanatics may know some of these, but we doubt that everyone knows all of these facts about the NES.
