File this one under "Probably should have thought about that before you started". Nintendo, a game development company at the cutting edge of handheld 3D games, with a rich and storied history in 2D 8-bit retro gaming, has been having some pretty serious trouble making 2D 8-bit retro games on its cutting edge 3D handheld.
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.
“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.
Making new games instead of porting over and over might help.
Saw this coming... Nintendo and technology doesn't rhyme.
i dont about others but 3D is a gimmick and waste of resources..
i know the big N loves gimmicks but the one that gives you headache is a BAD gimmick
2D 8-bit retro games on 3D handheld
That should be super easy for them. Just make the sprite into blocks like 3d dot game heroes.
maybe just bring out Nintendo Wii HD instead of Nintendo 3D. wait for easier technology.
i dont know about everyone else i dont want to put glasses on my face everytime i play my game. or spend 3000 + 129 + other stuff just to see 3D. leave 3D for the movies. put all games on bluray and call it a day.
