While it’s mighty impressive just how dedicated Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have been to the series' 20th anniversary, all this Poké-hullabaloo has been taking away from several other notable Nintendo anniversaries that deserve plenty of praise as well.
There are many worlds out there brimming with wondrous creatures ready to help you on your adventure beyond Pokemon.
Temtem is actually really good as a single player experience or as a co-op game. Played the shit out of it when it released
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.
Even if Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have not yet completed their first anniversary, it is possible to predict exactly when Gen 10 is arriving.
I've got a feeling they'll play up the 30th anniversary of Zelda when Zelda Wii U launches.
The fact that Metroid continues to get the boot is the real crime.
More like "Meh-troid." That's how Nintendo's behavior towards the legendary influential franchises's 30th anniversary seems to be
If Nintendo forgets about Metroid like the company did for the 25th anniversary... I'll be livid...
