If you caught my Monday Top Picks last week, then you know I
was focusing on the 3DS and what games I’d like to see Nintendo remake for it.
Well, this week I’m listing the NES games I want to get the 3D Classic upgrade.

| Ugh. Seriously guys? |
The 3D Classic games are enhanced version of classic NES
games made to show off the 3D on the 3DS, though for the most part it isn’t
very deep. I mean, it is a bunch of 8-bit sprites, how deep can it be? Whether
you find the 3D interesting or not, it’s still a fun concept. However, the
choices for games so far have been… questionable at best. The first was
Excitebike, which was a fine choice, it’s a highly nostalgic and well
remembered game for many gamers and the 3D was actually pretty cool. Then there
was Xevious and Twinbee, two third party, shoot-em-up games that are okay but
nothing I would imagine fans were demanding. Then there was Urban Champion. I
will never understand Nintendo’s obsession with this game, it’s terrible. You
could literally make a list of every other first party Nintendo game on the NES
and every single other game on it would be a better choice than Urban Champion.
The most recent 3D Classic was Kirby’s Adventure, which marks the first time a
really great game got the treatment, as well as one that felt like a game by
today’s standards. Gaming has come a long way since the NES days and games like
Excitebike and Xevious might keep gamers entertained for a while, but they
likely won’t hold their attention for long. It’s great to see a game like Kirby’s
Adventure, and the upcoming Kid Icarus remake, get the treatment because, well,
they can actually be beat.
So I’m going to take a look at the six NES games that should
get 3D Classic remakes. Unlike the last list, I’m going to include third party
games because, as I already mentioned, Xevious and Twinbee have gotten the treatment.
I’m also not going to include any of the ten games Nintendo gave out for their
3DS ambassador program. While it would be great to get games like Super Mario
Bros. or Metroid as a 3D Classic, a lot of people already have them plus, they
seem like obvious choices at this point. So I’m looking at six games you can’t
get on the 3DS at all yet. So let’s get started.
