Nintendo fans have always longed for a unified account system. Currently, all your online Nintendo game purchases are tied to your console, meaning that changing consoles is a hassle if you purchase games online frequently. In addition, there is no way to browse or purchase titles without using the WiiU or 3DS eShop. However, this may finally be about to change.
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.
I bought always awakening and it's sequel off Amazon for ps4 I didn't know it was released for nes for retro people lol.
This sounds pretty good. The Nintendo Network isn't as illustrious as PSN or XBL, but little-by-little it's getting there.
It's happening! Good to know.
Opening a wwb browser store does not mean Nintendo will drop its anti consumer DRM. I hope they do but doubt they will
Nintendo has never demonstrated any inclination toward an account system.
So you'll parson me if I don't find some random neogaf user to be a credible source.
I'm hoping this means I can finally purchase a second machine for my basement, without having to repurchase all of our games again.
