Citizen Kane wasn't limited to 2D sprites rendered in 320x240 and faux-orchestral MIDI music for a soundtrack. |
Your right tetris in HD is better and asteroids sucked. (more sarcasim)
Also Citizen Kane did not have Telecolor, Dobly 7.1, or HD digital. And oh yeah bad matte paintings.

You're confusing "most influential/revolutionary" with "best." Yeah, there were a lot of highly influential games made during the SNES era, but you also can't deny that the games that built upon those concepts in later generations are better. |
YOU are confusing "best" (which btw. is hard to define) with more advance graphics, more dimensions and shiny colors... for me best IS influential and revolutionary...

Sure I can.
I've yet to play a better RPG or SRPG better then one done in the SNES era. Until this is the case. I'm going with the SNES era.

Tetris in HD is better than Tetris on the Game Boy (or whatever) because it's much easier on the eyes. There's more to games than just pure gameplay, else we'd all still be playing ASCII Rogue-likes.
Also, what Onyxmeth said.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

Then you're defining "best" as something other than what "best" clearly means. Take a basic game - say, on the SNES - and layer a few new and interesting concepts on it, and improve the graphics and sound, and why exactly don't you end up with a better game than the original?
@ Kasz216: Seriously? I mean, I'm as big of an Earthbound fan as the next guy, but the SNES simply wasn't capable of many of the things that we see in modern RPGs. I mean, could the SNES handle something as complex as Vagrant Story, let alone a modern RPG like Oblivion?

there is no I in sarcasm
show me a game this gen that is more fun to play than secret of mana, chrono trigger, link to past, zombies ate neighbours or illusion of gaia. has nothing to do with nostalgia but with fun.

Acting has been around since the 1930s ??? MUAHAHAHAHA !!! Have you ever been to a real theatre ??? I´m just messing with you, I know what your saying but still, the coparison is legit. Games like Tetris and Super Mario Brothers the Legend of Zelda, are still among the best games ever made, does it matter how many pixles and colors they had ??? I´d even say the earn bonus points for beeing great eventhough they had limitations, often having limited resources forces us to be more creative... Citisen Cain will always be among the best movies, NES and SNES games will always be among the best video games, if you think otherwise you could argue Leonardo da Vinci made worse paintings than people today because he didn´t have the technology we use to make art with today...

1. Acting has been around since theater and liars.
2. Acting is about the eqivilent to game play in this senerio.
3. Many types of games have been around before video games and those principles still apply.
4. Tetris is not better in HD it just looks better.
5. There is more to movies then acting.
6. Thank You for correcting my spelling.
