"Today marks the 25th anniversary of one of Nintendo’s most iconic and perhaps somewhat under-appreciated of gaming franchises, Metroid. The original Metroid NES was released on August 6th 1986 in Japan and ten games and 25 years later, Samus Aran’s many millions of followers and fans are collaborating online to give her the recognition she so deserves on this very important milestone, none more so than Metroid fan site Shinespakers.net"
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.
Microsoft has now called on Nintendo and Google to aid in its fight with the FTC over its merger with Activision Blizzard.
I’m really starting to despise Microsoft and Xbox at this point. Might just sell the Series X and buy a Switch to compliment our PS5’s. Metroid, Zelda: TotK, and Pikmin 4 are just months away at this point.
Sure, the company whose Play Store revenue you want to diminish will certainly help you in acquiring Candy Crush and COD Mobile.
Wow.... Microsoft is out of control over this matter. I can't help but wonder how many people are they bribing to get this?
Microsoft just stop dragging companies into your own mess if you did to them like you did Sony imo you need to give it up with performance Data. Also isn't Google against Microsoft?
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.
Awesome!
We need a new Metroid game......
I LOVE METROID!!!! Also I would love to see Other M ported to the 3DS. I just feel that it would fit with the setup. What you fella's and ladies think?
YAY, metroid is the best franchise EVER!
