New games have been added to Nintendo Switch Online – Nintendo Entertainment System! Traverse the depths of Planet Zebes in Metroid, defeat the evil Belzebut in Mighty Bomb Jack, and blast your way to victory in TwinBee!
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.
Super Mario Maker has been a great series for Nintendo, but it is time to move on. How about a Metroid Maker? That would be interesting! Check out Jason Capo’s thoughts for more.
I'd go either for Metroid Maker a Zelda Maker would also be great even a Mario Kart Maker as well.
Despite hardware limitations, intrepid NES developers were able to make a massive variety of epic shoot-em-ups with gobs of enemies loosing salvoes of missiles and bullets at a hero and—magically—the system handled it all like a champ. Shmups on the NES rarely even experience any slowdown. Amazing!
Gun.Smoke was what I always played. Became too much at times with all the enemies and things flying at you from every direction, fun game though.
Crisis force, Gradius 2, over horizon, the three best shooters on the NES for me personally.
I’m still disappointed we still don’t even have SNES games with this service like Nintendo initially promised when they first revealed it
At this point in the game, Ninendo should already have their full NES, SNES, and N64 games up and available for purchase for $1, $2, and $3 for games. They are so old and purchased so many times, they should stop being greedy bitches and simply have them up for a buck or two.
In fact all systems should have an online retro library accessible to gamers. Major reason why I do not feel bad emulating.
This is pathetic. Just release what you had on the Wii VC and then add the Wii U stuff and then do this small trickle
I know what your saying about VC and how u spent loads on it. If that was the case you should of kept the Wii for future use.
I love seeing old NES game covers. Oh the memories.
