Last Saturday’s announcement of Pokémon Black Version 2 & Pokémon White Version 2 was rather shocking. We knew that there was going to be a Pokémon game announcement, and we all knew that it was likely going to be the third installment of the fifth generation Pokémon game that would most definitely include new Kyurem forms. We didn’t, however, see it all.
A big shocker was that both Pokémon Black & White Version 2 will be for the DS and not the 3DS. That’s right, the new main series Pokémon games won’t be for Nintendo’s latest handheld.
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.
Pokémon Black & White may be some people's favourite games in the franchise, but they also started some bad trends.
I think it could work out if the features mentioned in the article do in fact turn out to be true.
the same reason why persona 4 was on the ps2, or god of war on the ps2
That is indeed weird especially if it is a second version, it would mean something improved and has it on the 3ds but it being on the DS just makes it confusion.
Black and White 2? They couldn't have titled it something else? >_>
You know, at first I was sceptical, but turns out there are a shitload of DSes out there.
