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.
I can't allow myself to care about this as much as I did before. I'm absolutely sick of Japanese games localization taking years just for a damned decision to localize. I would really have loved to play Xenogear, but the last patience I have for this 'Whenever, if ever we get around to it' crap is for Namco and the Tales series, and to be honest, they had better start doing better soon themselves...
Reggie F'ed up. When you hear about a game, with me at least, there is an alarm clock of tolerance and set aside money that starts ticking down. At some point, you have to move on. YEARS will do that to you. The Japanese enjoyed these games quite some time ago. Even the Europeans have had Xenogear for a few months now after their long wait.
With the 3DS finally having a steady stream of solid games releasing, the PS3 and 360 games coming out soon that I'm interested in, and anticipation for the Wii U, after Skyward Sword, I'm likely done with buying new games on Wii. Especially new/old games. By Reggie's own admission, SS will be the Wii's "high point" game. Trouble is, back during the summer and early fall, when the Wii had NOTHING going for it the time of ripeness for the release of these games was at its peak. Now the fruit is falling off the tree and rotting.
Good luck to you folks still hoping though. I may buy a used copy of Xenogear some day if gaming funds open up again for the game. But now I'm saving for a Wii U in addition to my regular game purchases.
At least the game was released in europe and you can import
I hope that this succeeds as xenoblade is an amazing game and i'm guessing by the looks of the trailers that the other two will be aswell
