This alone is HUGE. In fact, I'd argue this innovation was the most impactful of all. Super Mario Bros. might have ushered in the modern video game industry, but The Legend of Zelda pushed that industry boldly into the future. |
Kind of. We already had password saving, which was incredibly innovative for game design despite being clunky, and computer games had external and internal saving first, which then influenced console design. Nintendo's on-cart saving was nice at the time but Sega's innovation with memory cards and then internal memory for home consoles ended up being more important to gaming.
