pcworld.com: Sales of Nintendo's new Wii U game console appear to be lagging those of its famous predecessor in Japan after its opening weekend, though the company says both sold out and comparisons are largely meaningless.
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.

How do you expect them to sell consoles that don't exist yet? There were simply more Wii's at launch than there were Wii U's.
Why do journalists jump on this so hard? They avoiding the context of the situation.
It will do fine as long as it remains above 50,000 or so every month globally..
im actually i little worried for the wiiu. i just got mine on launch and was super excited but im very shocked at the lack of announced games for it going into next year. Yes we got wonderful 101, rayman legends, Bayonetta 2 and MH3 coming but what else? You would think for a brand new console the game reveals would be coming more frequently then this. i know its not e3 but outside of launch games, i dont see the sells doing too well soon. yes the online is great but bioshock infinite and now dark souls 2 was just announced but not for wiiu. this is very troubling.
They can't sell them cos they sold out in 2 days everywhere!!... I know this as my gf told me that the store worker told her she will be on a 3 week waiting list cos so many have ordered it!
Wii U is selling well in Japan, this is FACT
lol...this is silly....whats the point wiiu is more expensive then the wii was...and with all the lies and negative press from haters..in actuality wiiu is to be considered ahead of the wii in sales and once things gets right with the online part and commercials , wiiu will take off despite haters
