Again 33 years more entries than probably DQ and Final Fantasy combined and I am counting spinoffs of DQ and FF as well,no joke. Still releasing entries in the west. Xseed just announced Trails of Cold Steel 3. First 2 were on Vita and did well in the west and Japan. Series has sold millions upon millions. It's easily one of Japans most popular RPG series. It's larger than Final Fantasy in Japan. So again your lack of knowledge means nothing. Without the popularity of Falcoms games making RPGs immensely popular there,we have no Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy. Falcom made RPGs popular there.

To cut this pointless discussion short:
Selection Criteria
The World Video Game Hall of Fame recognizes individual electronic games of all types—arcade, console, computer, handheld, and mobile—that meet the following criteria:
- Icon-status: the game is widely recognized and remembered.
- Longevity: the game is more than a passing fad and has enjoyed popularity over time.
- Geographical reach: the game meets the above criteria across international boundaries.
- Influence: The game has exerted significant influence on the design and development of other games, on other forms of entertainment, or on popular culture and society in general. A game may be inducted on the basis of this criterion without necessarily having met all of the first three.
Neither of the games you mentioned are widely recognized or have geographical reach. They might have had longevity and influence on the industry but they fall very short on the fame factor. What distinguishes all of the games in the HOF are that they fulfil all of the criteria.

It does meet htat criteria but this Video Game Hall of Fame is as much bullshit as the WWE HOF. Instead of putting games or franchises that actually deserve it...it's a popularity contest of what is most recent in mainstream gamers minds in the west. The first Sonic doesn't deserve it. Game sucks balls,it's actually pretty bad. Sonic 2 on the other hand,one of the very few games ever made that is as close to perfect as Super Metroid.
