Zelda skyward sword for the amazing feeling of 1:1 swordfighting. mario galaxy because the game was just perfect. xenoblade because of the incredible experience and HUGE step up on the jrpg genre.

Of those three, which one do you think had the most influence on the industry?

I'll go with skyward sword.

What influence did it have on the industry?

read.

Yeah I did, I don't see any reasoning on how it was influencial. It came out in 2010 to boot, whatc ame after it that was influenced by SS?

I'll say Mario Galaxy. It felt like pure 3D platforming perfection and it had outstanding music and overall just a very pretty game. It's gonna be hard for 3D platformers to top Mario Galaxy.

"Zelda skyward sword for the amazing feeling of 1:1 swordfighting".

it doesn't matter if it was copied or not. it showed how things are done in this style.

I'd have to go with call of duty 4.

influence
ˈɪnflʊəns/
noun
noun: influence; plural noun: influences
1.
the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behaviour of someone or something, or the effect itself.


Suggest you learn what the word influence actually means, it's hilarious you think Zelda is influencial yet ... hasn't influenced any other game.

Well my most influential was Heavy Rain but that wasn't one of the options.

Between Modern WarfareWarfare and Assassins Creed.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

Nice auto owned. if influence is the CAPACITY to have an effect on something else, it doesn't need to have happened already. simply put, a game that uses motion control for 1:1 swordfighting will probably be influenced by SS.
