Video Games Hall of Fame members include Resident Evil and SimCity, pass on Metroid

The latest class of inductees to the World Video Game Hall of Fame at the Strong National Museum of Play include Asteroids, the Ultima, Resident Evil, and SimCity series, joining the groundbreaking Myst as works recognized for their significance overall to video games and interactive entertainment.

There is, however, one notable omission, and it might bother a lot of fans spanning multiple generations: Metroid. Nintendo’s space adventure, which began with 1986’s Metroid for the Nintendo Entertainment System, did not make the cut.
