No, because gameplay is what makes games classic, not whether it's 2d or 3d. Shovel Knight is great, but there are plenty of terrible 2d retro-style games being made every year.

 


Classics are the best games, the most popular games, or games that defined a time period, usually having 2 or 3 of these components. I could see shovel Knight as a classic, especially if they make a 2nd one. It's a really good game on almost every system. ]]> Do you think any of todays modern games will become classics in the future or are those days over? http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=187748 2019-07-05T11:40:21 -05.00 austin532 44 Do you think any of todays modern games will become classics in the future or are those days over? http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=187748 2019-07-05T11:34:14 -05.00 austin532 44 Originally posted by: danny boyx

No.  Not at all.

Call me old fashioned, but the game is a shooter where you kill the other human-appearing players.  I don't think that is remotely appropriate for 5 year olds.


C'mon man, no way you honestly feel that way when we grew up with cartoony violence like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Simpsons Arcade, Street Fighter, Rampage, Battletoads, Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania, Bionic Commando, Metroid, and Double Dragon.

Again, Fortnite is no worst than Splatoon.
I was definitely not 5 years old when I played those games.

You don't think there is a difference between an 8 year old playing Ninja Gaiden and a 5 year old playing Ninja Gaiden?  Really?

And Fortnite is definitely "worse" than Splatoon if you want to split hairs on age appropriateness for 5 year olds.
(shooting people with "realistic" guns versus shooting people with big goofy paint balls)

 

I guess my feelings on the matter really are just that different since I really did have access to that kid of content as a kid.

I honestly see no problem in letting kids play video games and I’m clearly not along in that since dozens of millions of other same aged kids have access to it and actively play it.

If i were to play Ninja Gaiden with my son in the room he wouldn’t know what to do with it sure, but I have no qualms with him watching me play and cheer me on to “beat up the bad buys” ]]> Do you think any of todays modern games will become classics in the future or are those days over? http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=187748 2019-07-04T00:12:38 -05.00 austin532 44 Do you think any of todays modern games will become classics in the future or are those days over? http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=187748 2019-07-03T20:53:37 -05.00 austin532 44 Originally posted by: caratekid

Anyone mention Zelda BOTW yet?


If not then we should. Its the greatest masterpiece ever created. ]]> Do you think any of todays modern games will become classics in the future or are those days over? http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=187748 2019-07-03T20:29:36 -05.00 austin532 44 Do you think any of todays modern games will become classics in the future or are those days over? http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=187748 2019-07-03T19:53:05 -05.00 austin532 44 Originally posted by: arch_8ngel


Though I don't know that I'd consider Splatoon entirely appropriate for a 5 year old, either. If anything it's teaching them to spill paint everywhere.
