The tenth class of honorees has been inducted into the World Video Game Hall of Fame. As reported a few months back, Metroid was one of the nominees this year, after previously being nominated in 2018. Unfortunately, it has once again not made the cut. The five games that were chosen are Asteroids, Myst, Resident Evil, SimCity and Ultima.

Metroid would have been a worthy inclusion. The franchise began nearly 40 years ago, and gave birth to the Metroidvania genre of games. We can only hope that Metroid, or one of the later games (Super Metroid, perhaps?) will eventually find its way into the World Video Game Hall of Fame. Until then, congratulations to the five inductees and their developers on this achievement!
