No, it really isn't. The cultural impact of Space Invaders and Pac-man were greater and more important for video-games. They raised awareness of video-games from nearly nothing up to pop-culture levels. Pac-man is especially important because it was the first cross-media success for video-games. Space invaders, even more than Pac-man, is celebrated for it's sheer immersion into society, as cabinets were everywhere, and is estimated to have grossed $14 billion dollars when adjusted for inflation, which sits comfortably at the top of all video-game earnings. Super Mario Bros., if you're wondering, is at $3.5 billion, while Pac-man is in second place at nearly $13 billion. Just think about that for a second.
Yeah, I know this is a Nintendo forum so I know how this is going to end up, but Space Invaders and Pac-man took video-games from irrelevancy to significant cultural mind-share. It's hard to get more important than that.
As for that video, my god ... some of those points are hilarious. Even if I disagree, I expected a far better job from someone taking the time to make a video. It's almost like satire.
"The verb of jumping just became the verb that you used in video-games. Every platformer after that, that's what you do, you jump. Nathan Drake jumps." Holy cats. Because games like Pit-fall did not exist. What the literal fuck.
They even praised it for having a narrative.
