According to two Scandinavian retailers, production of the NES mini has ended.
As an iconic handheld device, the Game Boy Color was packed with fantastic platformer games that covered numerous sub-genres while providing a genuine experience.
From the Supervision to the Steam Deck, the vast history of handheld console gaming is always worth celebrating.
A modded PSP is awesome, I used to play games like the original Marvel vs Capcom and even the original Doom on it.
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.
WHAT??? Nintendo cannot be this stupid.
Thanks Nintendo! (if true)
"With the console being this popular, it begs the question: why would Nintendo ever end production?"
Artificial hype is one reason. I have a feeling that overpriced collectibles are going to be the gold standard from now on at Nintendo. They are probably getting ready to manufacture the snes mini and "I better hurry up and get one while I can before they move on."
I see a lot of limited time switch controllers and stuff like that. It's not uncommon at Nintendo already but I think they will start doubling down on that style of business. Low stock to add value, or in this case no stock. It's a hype generator.
Raspberry Pi it is
Here we go again. Now this thing will be selling at a ridiculous price on Ebay. Gouge away I guess.... smh.
