Will any new game genres come along and be game changers?

Perhaps also whatever Retro's next game, whatever that'll be. Metroid Prime was a game changer.

What did it change?

It succesfully reinvented the Metroid frachise, which was unique in its own right, in full 3D. It was not a FPS, but a FP Adventure, and the first one to do it utterly right. Just read any of the reviews from when it came out, people were stunned. I remember it fondly. :)
