2- duck hunt (almost forgot this one)
3-super mario bros 3
4- balloon fight, got this on the ambassodor program, great game,
5- cant remember the name it was a horizontal version of twin bee
6- whicever mega man i owned
7- zelda II
8- kid icarus, just got this having some fun
9- there was this overhead rts type game, where you controled a tank along with some other units (i believe) i thought it was a command and conquer game, but that doesnt exist so Anyone got any ideas, (im pretty sure it was mostly green and black colours wise)
10-cant think of a tenth one, Galaga i guess even though i ownly had it for psp

Re: New 3DS Nintendo Direct to Broadcast on 17th April

@Wilford111 honestly i would really just like a 3d megaman collection, i dont really want to get the eshop versions, cause im pretty sure capcom is going to have something bigger planned for megaman, also is the any word on mega man 9 or 10 on the 3ds?

would a nintendo direct even mention capcom games?

@BestBuck123 for someone who claims to be a fan you sure miss the point, critics write what they do not to tell people what to see, but to start a discussion about it, to say who cares its in the eye of the beholder is to discredit every artist ever. artist do what they do to get a emotional response from people, and to say who cares takes away the entire point of art (which is essentially arguing about which is better) and im sure thats how the artists like it

@Captain_Balko i too get emotions like joy and sadness when playing video games, but those are very surface emotions, art should connect on a deeper level than that, it should make you think, it should make you question things (life the world, whatever) and while nintendo does make excellent video games that are enjoyable i would not consider them art. many may disagree,

but i will say this and it probobly applies to most people that video games have never made me cry.

@Gameday i play many games, and a few have been close to art maybe, but i dont really feel it can be art when you are controlling it, art is something that you let happen to you, not the other way around

there are some that probobly get close (fallout 3/ portal 2) but even than you dont come away from those changed as much as a movie like Cloud Atlas, which i personally think is the point of art, to emotionally affect someone on a deep level. Maybe some people can view video games like that (as art as very personal) but dont see video games that way.

Any suggestions that you can think of that will change my viewpoint?

Re: Video Gaming's Unexpected Critic Passes Away After Battle With Cancer

I kind of agree on the video games not being art, video games cannot crate a emotional repose the way movies or books can (but art is personal so i'll give them that) but video games have too much choice to be art, art is art because the artist is giving you a personal view into their soul, if you can pick and choose what to do it takes away form the so called masterpiece.

Having said all that,

Re: Hardware Classics: Sega Mega Drive

SirQuincealot

Anyone else think they should make a genises style gamep pad for the 3ds, similar to the circle pad pro? one that could be optimzed for games like smash bros, or street fighter, they could include a new control stick on the right (so fighting games wont destroy them, and add a couple new buttons on the left.

I personally would love this and would buy this day one

@zenarium dont get the nintendo games first, they will be around forever, get the 3rd party releases, especiallly the m rated ones, to show the developers we are willing to but games if they live up to a high level of standered, plus the more games that arent made with kids in mind the better, not that theyre bad but they seem to be dominateing the system curently
