Nintendo going the same way with the Wii, to combat the fall in prices of the PS3 and throws an unsupported version for GameCube games and controllers in order to lower the price of the console.

25 Years of Metroid

One of the reasons why Nintendo continues today to be successful are their long-standing franchises. The Super Mario Bros. last year. celebrated 25 years this year The Legend of Zelda also reached the quarter-century, but it is not the only franchise of giant Nippon to be congratulated.

In 1986, more precisely, on August 6, Nintendo launched its first game with a more black, inspired by science fiction films of the time, as Alien, we are clearly talking about Metroid.

In a hostile environment and without much color, was the player's mission to take Samus Aran, a bounty hunter, to explore an alien planet, without having much information to start. It is over time we realized that we are not in the skin of a man but a woman, protected by a cybernetic armor, with the ability to go evolving and gaining new weapons and features.

Besides the already mentioned, the need to explore several huge levels more than once, the suspense generated by the game environment, the feeling of loneliness, Metroid makes it all a success, being the first Nintendo game aimed at an audience more mature than their previous franchises.

Gunpey Yokoi, the master, thus creating a new universe, a new franchise, perhaps a little loved by some within the Nintendo, but still remains very much alive and healthy.

The stock of the last 25 years is positive, the Metroid saga has many titles and we can only hope that these next 25 years bring many more, always with the same excellent quality that Nintendo has us accustomed to.

Negative criticism is just the fact that by Nintendo saw nothing on the celebration of this day ... but no matter, we never forget the fans!

Metroid Congratulations!
