When I was but a lad, I was enthralled by a little game called Metroid. Actually, you might say I was in love – madly so at that. There was something about that game that captured me completely. The music was superb and intoxicatingly catchy, the creatures and characters were lovably memorable, and the style of it all was so surreal and bizarre; it was a beautiful medley of which I could never get enough. -Leviathyn's zevallo
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.
Agreed. When I got my NES back then, I of course had Super Mario Bros. But I also got Double Dribble, Mike Tyson's Punch Out, Rad Racer, Zelda and Metroid. Loved playing all of them over and over. But Metroid was so deep and the music was so other worldly, that that game has stuck with me to this day decades later.
Sure other awesome games came along like Contra, Castlevania, Mega Man, etc. But Metroid really hit that sci-fi fix. And the twist of finding out who was in the suit was one of those great moments in gaming history talking with other friends in the neighborhood that had the console that rushed to the end to find out for themselves.
Definitely deserves hall of fame like many other picks. Should have been inducted a long time ago.
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 .
Yea, I agree that Super Metroid REALLY raised the bar on atmosphere and exploration, still in my Top 10 or 20 games of all time. The original Metroid did set a good framework, but Super Metroid perfected it in its first sequel. Since it's the only one up for vote, I'd still vote for the original Metroid bc it did establish a very good concept of gaming in a more primitive gaming era. But, you're absolutely right.
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.
The Nerd Stash: "Looking to make some quick cash? Have some old Wii games lying around? Well, why not take a gander at our list of rarest Nintendo Wii games?"
Players jumping into the series before Metroid Prime 4 releases need access to the entire trilogy on the Switch, not just Metroid Prime Remastered.
Theyre gonna pull some BS, just watch. Im betting 1 and 2 will be sold individually then 3 will be a part of a trilogy pack.
I don't know why everybody is praising Nintendo for remastering Prime1 when they became silent radio on Prime4.
As much as I can see the game looking better it's still played exactly like the Metroid prime 1 on Gamecube or the Trilogy version that I also own on Wiiu (It's the Wii version but it was made a Wiiu title)
Because its a great remaster? And actually reasonably priced against all odds?
I dont need them to be telling me every six months that Prime 4 is still coming. They are developing the game and will show more details when its ready, simple as that.
I have no problems with Nintendo not showing it yet if they still don’t want to
it's 40
I've seen better remastered trilogies for roughly the same, hell I've seen collections 5 times bigger for half the price
and they released the COMPLETE trilogy on Wii-u for 20$

@pete
And that was still the Wii version, with literally no WiiU enhancements whatsoever…
I 100% prefer a remaster of the level we got at $40 than just a simple upres port of the trilogy at $60 like it has happened with basically every other Nintendo remaster so far, or even worse for them to release a Wii port for $20 with no enhancements
Not to mention this is clearly part of the work Retro is doing graphically for Prime 4
That's not accurate on either part. The Wii U "title" is only just the Wii version - motion controls and 480p only. This version is the first version with dual-stick controls so that alone makes the feel of this different than either version 10 or 20 years ago.
Yes like I said the Wii u is the Wii version but was billed as a Wiiu game the point it appears straight into the Wii-u Menu and not the Wii one like the Wii game but it is essentially the Wii Trilogy offered at a discount price at the time with remote controls.
As much as you can see? Guess you missed the part about modernized controls. I also saw a video that showed off an updated soundtrack.
Ok they modernized control... update the music basically exactly what they did with the Wii trilogy (that supported motion control-like corruption)
My point isn't that the game is fined tune but the fact that ppl celebrate Nintendo for not delivering something that was a major announcement in 2017.
How would ppl feel if Sony was announcing Uncharted 5 and after 6 years they would release a remaster of the 1st Uncharted or if the upcoming Perfect Dark by MS is ... the remaster of the 1st one so you can still wait.
Heck I can already see the Xbox has no game or can't make a game comment flooding in
And also you know that they didn't made the trilogy so they can release the others game later on.
and TLOU on PS5 plays exactly the same as it does on PS4. What's your point? A great game deserves to be enjoyed by a larger audience.
and the majority of the crowd dissed Sony for basically remastering a Ps4 titles
how many reviews gave it a great score but mentioned that the price was too high?
Heck, go see Angry joe review it's the perfect satire where he basically goes fetch the review of the Ps4 changes some filters, renames the file name to Tlou part 1, and press play.
Also, did NaughtyDog announce Tlou3 Part 5 years ago?
Again my issue isn't that they remaster a great game it's the fact that they are giving a middle finger to fans of the actual trilogy (ppl like me who basically own all previous versions) while saying get ready for parts 2 and 3 before the damn part 4.
And let's be clear if Microsoft would have put that crappy move with a 40$ Remake of Halo1 instead of Infinite
the negative comments would have flooded this thread.
Heck just wonder what would happen if MS release a Perfect Dark remaster instead of the new one?
What are you on, Pete?
Halo CE already got remade, in 2011. Then it got re-released again as part of MCC in 2014. It's still getting updated. Nintendo hasn't said anything about remakes of Prime 2 or 3. The only TLOU being officially worked on is Factions and Part 1 PC.
What you're saying here is wrong, your initial post is wrong, and all of your follow ups have been wrong.
but that would be expected to cost less and nintendo doesn't like things costing less
especially when people keep supporting that anyway
Metroid fans for years: "we want prime remastered."
Metroid fans after getting what they want: "yeah.... It's ok but where's the rest"
Notice that the people bitchin aren't the "Nintendo Fans".
That age old myth of "Crazed, Zealot acting Nintendo fans" is a construct from years of trolling coming from
"opposite camp fans".
Most of the people you see complaining here arent true Nintendo fans, they are low key "imposters" that fake
"concern", because "they care" when in reality you only see praising only what others do but Nintendo in teir eyes can only do wrong...its gotten old and it didnt work against the Switch's success and it probably never will.
In the meantime, i prefer to enjoy stuff instead of being day in and day out "disapointed" in the stuff i dont care about. Would it had been nice to have all 3? Sure, does it make this one less great? Abso-F&^in-lutely NOT. :)
It's almost like there are a variety of people on the internet with varying opinions
Crazy
Ah yes, There are in fact many with varied opinions and that in itself is a great thing to have, what is not so great is the people who either try to either force their opinions on to you, or try to guilt you into either feeling bad or dumb for not conforming to their opinion. Or as an alternative those who dont have a valid argument and resort to either belittling others or going for low petty insults to puff their egos online.
I personally care for none of the examples above, but have seen a lot of it happen for many years now.
I stick to being around peeps who enjoy the medium (video games) and dont feel the need to crap over somebody else's enjoyment.
Loved the Prime series so I respecfully disagree. But Other M was a disaster.
Other M was bad. You are the only person I have ever heard of to think these things about the prime series. Metroid was a dark since the start and they did that by creating a sprawling world things only seem darker because of the retro group maturing the sci-fi flavor of the series. It became a smarter game. That games greatest idea was scanning. the act of gathering info was taken to the next level. I think your simply being ridiculous.
Also
No breathtaking music?

The other M was bad? The only thing bad around here is your taste in games.
Other M was an abomination and if Team Ninja ever comes close to any other Nintendo IP again I will stop gaming. The prime series was different because it was first person but it as so innovative. The scanning, the art style, the different environments, the challenging puzzles, epic boss battles, all kinds of weapons, suits, backtracking , and awesome techno music. The wii remote and nunchuk are the perfect control scheme for Metroid (hence the Metroid prime trilogy on wii) but the days of classic 2D Metroid on a console are gone. Maybe on the 3DS but not on the main console.
