Top 10 Upcoming and Demanding 3DS Games for 2012

Tired of holding your mouse and pressing down the keyboard keys to play your old PC games? Well, look outside the world of just PC games, there’s a whole new dimension of gaming era. Take for example your very own Nintendo 3DS that may sound a bit old to you but it sure has excellent support from third parties for its games, and its own hardware capabilities makes it a deal breaker. What today we are offering is a list of Top 10 upcoming and demanding 3DS games for 2012 that we have picked ourselves after reviewing different aspects of gaming and are looking forward to, have a look, you’ll love them:

1. Mario Kart 3D

There is no need to say that Mario Kart has always been a deal breaker for Nintendo, yet in previous years the chain has lost some trustworthiness because of the Rubber Band AI that weighed down Mario Kart Wii . No doubt that the game was surely enjoyable to play and hosted a good pair of online features, but for all the hardships they managed to do their position was left in an unmannered way and that’s what left a lot of enthusiasts feeling that Nintendo preferred fun rather than skill.
Now the pride has to be brought back by Mario Kart 3D, and as a matter of fact its really doing it since it appears much more objective than the preceding iteration and even has a Mario Kart DS feel to it. Besides, it boasts a number of new features that includes underwater division game plays, where users grow a propeller as they go deep down below the water. All this makes a perfect sense and that is to convince the users by its visual quality and other graphical elements. While the mainly distinguished addition in the game is the glider, which enables your kart to fly in the air over your rivals. Mario Kart 3D merges flawlessly into the typical Mario Kart game play and introduces a new height to your gaming experience.
At the same time as, Nintendo is looking forward to have 8 players online races’ running well ahead of the game is finally out. If you’re thinking that if this game is about to bring an innovative change that will everlastingly transform the series then you’re absolutely incorrect. Fans, this is actually classic Mario Kart that is trying its level best to do the thing.

2. Rayman 3D

Rayman 3D is a developed port of the platform game “Rayman 2: The Great Escape” to the Nintendo 3DS. Even though the game was formerly docked to the PSP and the Apple iOS, but this new port is supposed to be laid on the Dreamcast edition with a total revamp of its UI, series and a lot of new things to make the game handier for beginners.
The scene is that you are in an open space of dreams where android pirates from cosmos assault your planet and mess with the things. Now you as Rayman have to start a voyage to gather a thousand bits of the world’s core (Lums) and wake up four mysterious masks to bring the world’s spirit to restore the world.
Sprint, leap, mount and blow your way all the way through alien machine pirates while gathering Lums. You can even unchain new details about the game world and its countless mysteries. So you see its all about adventure Rayman 3D is projected to work efficiently on Nintendo 3DS. The graphical content of this game is superb, you’ll love playing it!

3. Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D – The Naked Sample

The Metal Gear snake eater 3D is the best edition of all that we’re waiting for! Yet we’re not exactly certain whether Hideo Kojima’s 3DS introduction is a direct port of the PS2 game with graphical improvements or a radically refurbished interpretation or even every bit of it has changed, but we’re sure it will be an astonishing game apart from being said.
Flanked by the brilliance of the source objects, the visual ability on display in the game’s E3 presentation, and the Metal Gear team’s convenient victory in Peace Walker, this all gives us a hint that this game is sure going to be a big hit.

4. Pokémon 3DS

Though, this is  theoretically unethical for the reason that a Pokémon game hasn’t been introduced for the system save for a disputed sequel. For the past years, we are looking after a proper Pokémon experience on our gaming handhelds thus we may perhaps discover the world and fight with Pokémon’s in wonderful 3D effect. And this hasn’t yet been achieved accurately, in any way!
Now the things are tuning good, since that similar experience we hunted on consoles is going to land on the 3DS sometime in the outlook. We sure are eager to play this game on our Nintendo 3D.

5. Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D

Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D offers an excellent sequence and a follow-up mode and packages and turns itself into a developed online game. Play with the people around the world, where you are Resi veterans/Chris Redfield/Jill Valentine, and kick some zombies-ass with your team members. This game much more brings in a traditional scenario and story-laid shooter in the Resident Evil world. It also comes bundled with a playable sample for the approaching 3DS shooter Revelations, which lies in at some point between Resident evil 4 and 5.
As for the availability, the game will be offered in Japan on June 2nd.

6. Dead or Alive: Dimensions

Dead or Alive: Dimensions much resembles to Tekken and Capcom’s Street fighter in terms of game play. While this game and street fighters are running on side to side and they both consists of individual fighting moves and a huge fighters inventory of unlock-able combatants. You can use Street Pass to convey player data without even grasping, and you can gather little collectibles to create photograph. But Dead or Alive: Dimensions has its own identification with a character part look from Nintendo’s Samus Aran, 60 frames/second fighting when the 3D animation is toggled off. A real fighting experience is all!

7. StarFox 64 3D

Many enthusiasts of the sequence have been demanding another StarFox 64 game from Nintendo for many past years and, finally, Nintendo has heard their voice. StarFox 64 is coming in 3D version to the Nintendo 3DS this year. However, it has not yet been confirmed whether this would be a re-establish or a completely revamped game, we’re about to see!

8. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D


The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is undeniably the much loved and awaited game on the Nintendo 3DS. The director Eiji Aonuma declared that “Ocarina of Time 3D” is pledged to not just look on a par with the games what are nowadays, but also boosted its each single characteristic of the game counting in its UI as well as its center technicalities, and much more.
Now we’re looking forward for this game to come on time and now that the Nintendo 3DS has motion sensor through which you can aim easily, pass the Deku Tree and the notably complicated Water Temple, which have been quite difficult for the majority of users to pass and that the rest of the game may be sophisticated in a good manner.

9. Lego Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars

If the earlier LEGO game titles are any signal, “LEGO Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars” will certainly be superior to the movie it is laid on. Despite the arguments for the movie, the game is a sequence to the preceding LEGO Star Wars games, in which as a maximum two players can play mutually. You can toggle between a variety of game characters gathered during the game as they proceed with the movie’s plot and finish multiple tasks from cracking riddles to combating huge enemy bosses. Yet the game is being out for each recent gaming platform, but the 3DS edition of “Lego Star Wars 3” will be the primary game in the sequence to consist full three dimensional visuals.

10. Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition

You certainly would enjoy playing -Super Street Fighter IV- on the PS3 or Xbox 360 due to its enhanced visual mode and just as good game play, but the absence of 3D leads the game to nowhere and so it could not unleash its full potential. Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition is chasing the trails for the Nintendo 3DS in an effort to cure this small inadequacy by pushing you nearer to the full-action thrilled experience. At the same time as the game can be played in the standard mode, a new camera mode provides an angle that shows you the view above the players shoulder for doubly powerful game play. You can also execute unique fighting moves by drumming icons on the touch screen. And resembling to other 3DS games, Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition will take full advantage of the StreetPass element thus you can have spontaneous combats with other players in the original world around you, and gathering collectibles as by you overcome them gradually.

Top 10 Embarrassing Moments in Video Game History



Video games have grown into one of the most popular and successful parts of the media, with its numerous consoles, forms of gaming, characters and their creators. But with every success comes an embarrassing event that can make gamers and the gaming industry bow their heads in shame. Whether they are rubbish games and consoles to humiliating E3 conferences, to the infamous 1983 video game crash, the industry has seen some embarrassing moments in its lifetime – here are ten of them.
10
Jack Thompson
Jtdb
One of the biggest enemies of gamers was Jack Thompson, a former American attorney who seemed to have a personal hatred against video games. While he seemed to be concerned for children who played games, he also seemed very paranoid, believing children copy everything they see in games. Every time there was a crime involving firearms or weapons, or a murder, Thompson would immediately jump on the bandwagon and accuse video games being responsible with little evidence to back up his claims other than apparent “statistics.” He has taken on such games like Grand Theft Auto, Mortal Kombat, and apparently he even accused Mario, The Legend of Zelda and Metroid of driving kids to commit crime. He was eventually and thankfully barred from practicing law and the video game community rejoiced.

9
Dangers of the Wii Remote
250Px-Wiimote-Safety-First
The Wii was considered one of Nintendo’s oddest but unique ideas, introducing the motion sensor controller, or at least a new version, to the gaming industry. However, within the first few months of the Wii’s days on the shelf, some people got a little carried away swinging the Wii Remote and this led to some people smashing their windows, TVs, consoles and the remotes themselves. Other complaints came about the Wii Remote such as strained wrists and difficulties using the controller, but it was the damage the remote could cause that was the major complaint. However, while Nintendo fixed the remote by introducing the Wii Jacket, it was somewhat the fault of the remotes’ users for not using it safely with the remote’s safety strap.

8
Electric Soldier Porygon
Electricsoldierporygon
Pokémon took the world by storm in the 1990s with its games, manga comics, toys, trading cards and the anime. However, just as the anime was rocketing up into the sky, it came crashing down when the episode known as “Electric Soldier Porygon” aired in Japan and gave over six-hundred children seizures with its flashing strobe lights. The impact was so shocking (no pun intended) that TV Tokyo pulled Pokémon from the schedule for four months until 1998. As expected, America threw a fit since they were also airing the anime and ultimately decided to not air the episode. This became a universal agreement across the world and the episode has never aired on TV since.

7
N-Gage Price
300Px-Nokia N-Gage
Nokia is known for being huge in the mobile phone industry, and not so much in the gaming industry. Trying to sell their own gaming system at the 2003 E3 event, the N-Gage, the presenters were like fish out of water and the conference was awkward. Plus, the N-Gage proved not to be a very interesting or usable device, since its buttons were built for a phone. And then the presenters brought out the device’s price – on a girl’s stomach – $299. As you can imagine, the N-Gage did poorly in sales and Nokia gave up on it in 2010.

6
Super Mario Bros. the Movie
Super-Mario-Bros-Movie-Poster-1993
When it was announced that the Super Mario Bros. were to get a movie adaptation, gamers anticipated a wonderful tribute to the video games they had grown to love, not to mention it was the first ever video game movie, but it was a mess. The colorful world of the Mushroom Kingdom had become a bizarre alternate world like some sort of post-apocalyptic Manhattan where dinosaurs evolved from humans, Bowser was the late Dennis Hopper, Goombas were odd dinosaur hitmen, and the Mario Bros. themselves were played by Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo.
Fans were undeniably disappointed, if not enraged, and this film sadly paved the way for many more video game movies to fail at the box office. The actors condemned the film, blaming the husband-and-wife directing duo for making rubbish decisions, and extending the filming schedule into endless months of pain and misery. Even Mario and Luigi’s creator Shigeru Miyamoto objected to the film, in his own nice way.



5
Jamie Kennedy at E3
Kennedy 2007
Activision made perhaps one of the biggest mistakes of their history by inviting Jamie Kennedy to host their 2007 E3 press conference. However, they didn’t count on Jamie coming to the conference stoned off his butt. Seemingly having no idea what he was doing or talking about, Jamie slurred through most of the conference, insulting the audience and telling some really rubbish jokes – he thought the audience were too slow to follow his “humor.” The guests and the audience themselves were funnier then him. Companies attending E3 have made some bad decisions on who their hosts will be, but this has got to be the worst.

4
Virtual Boy
672506Virtualboy
Gunpei Yokoi’s career in the gaming industry sadly went out on a low note. The creator of Metroid, the Game & Watch series, and the Game Boy, Gunpei introduced the Virtual Boy to gamers. The console turned out to be Nintendo’s single flop in their history of consoles, the virtual reality console giving users headaches in more ways than one. It was quickly discontinued, Gunpei left Nintendo and then sadly died in a car accident in 1997.

3
Sony’s 2006 E3 Conference
190588-Giant Enemy Crab Large
Sony’s 2006 E3 conference was the most embarrassing conference in the convention’s history. While the Playstation 3 and Sony did successful over the next few years, the incompetence of the presenters led to some hilarious internet memes – including the rather failed shout of “Ridge Racer!” to get the gamers present rallied up. But the conference is most known for the promo of Genji 2, which the makers said were based on historical, actual fights in Japanese history – and then a “giant enemy crab” bounded into it, completely opposing what was just said. How many giant crabs ran around Japan in the old days?

2
Playstation Network’s Shutdown
Playstation-Network-Logo
Early in 2011, the Playstation Network unexpectedly got shutdown for several weeks after an “external intrusion” – a.k.a. hackers stole 7.7 million accounts worth of personal details. Everyone from fans, to businessmen, to the media, to even governments ripped Sony left and right for them to fix their problems and criticized their failure to provide better security to the Network’s users. Nevertheless, Sony eventually fixed the Network, re-opened it in May, and made numerous apologies including a rather respectful one at their 2011 E3 conference. Let’s just hope it doesn’t happen again.

1
The Video Game Crash of 1983
Ngbbs4E9F0B7E3A83B
The darkest year of video games was 1983, and yet it appeared to start out so good – arcades were popping up across America, Atari was king of the world, and Pac-Man was ruling the roost long before Mario and Sonic entered the fray. But then Atari got too big for its boots – game designers were denied authorial credits for their creations, many programmers abandoned the company, the company made cheap games and consoles – and then they made the six-week created game E.T. Considered the worst game ever, E.T. miserably failed and tons of cartridges of the game were buried in a landfill in New Mexico. Atari was on the rocks and it never fully recovered.
Computer gaming picked up whilst the rest of the gaming industry collapsed. The media wasn’t exactly sympathetic, the snobbish people of yesteryear proclaiming gaming was a fad and would quickly die out. The Video Game Crash of 1983 was well and truly on – and then Nintendo kicked the door in and introduced the NES. At first the NES didn’t do well with the ROB device and the Zapper, but it got on shelves and allowed Nintendo to bring video games back from the grave with a little game called Donkey Kong, and the rest is history.

Top 20 Greatest Strategy Games



Throughout the centuries people have enjoyed games. From simple ones to pass the time to more complex ones that use strategy and challenge the participants to compete intellectually and have been called mental sports. Man’s love of competition and play has evolved over recent decades and there are far more choices now than ever before. For the list I have skipped video and online games, sticking with those that have actual physical pieces. No exclusions were made based on whether they are better with 2 or multiple players. In the 17th and 18th century, being a great gamer was admired as often top military leaders played wargames to determine different scenarios and plan attacks.
Today gaming is simultaneously more popular yet often considered as nerdy. Hopefully this list will inspire some people to try out new games or dig their old ones out of the closet.
20
Dominoes
12th Century
Dominoes 3Sfw
The game features bones (tiles) with a number of pips on them. Players match them up trying to empty their hands by matching one of the numbers with one of the free numbers on the table. Dominoes are also noted for being able to stand on end in long rows so that when one is knocked over they all fall in a row. A popular pasttime is lining up hundreds or thousands of dominoes to make designs when they fall.

19
Checkers/Draughts
3000 BCE Persia
Checkers
This popular game among children features discs which move along an 8×8 grid jumping opponent’s pieces to remove them from the game. It does feature pure strategy and no luck (outside of tournament play) but tends to be simplistic by today’s standards. In the 1930s Tournament play began reducing the number of draws by introducing random starting moves.
18
Monopoly
1935 Darrow/Parker Brothers
Monopoly-Box
The world’s most popular and imitated boardgame features players as landlords trying to buy properties, build houses and hotels, and monopolize areas for higher prices. A trading aspect is popular. The game has undergone criticism as being too simplistic but is still considered a classic by many and is a great game for kids. The economic aspects are highly balanced however and common rules variants such as collecting money while landing on free parking tend to remove the strategy turning it into a luck based game.
17
Scrabble
1938 various manufacturers
Scrabble Tiles
The game played on a 15×15 grid features players spelling out words for points. The game features areas with double or triple letter or word score and letters have more points if they are less commonly used. Fanatical players have actually gone as far as memorizing all the acceptable words from the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary. Be warned, if someone you don’t know offers to play you for 10 cents a point as they might be able to win by many hundreds of points.
16
Kensington
1979 Forbes-Taylor
32513
This game has undeservedly remained relatively obscure since its creation but is on par with the best in the world. The game is played on an unusually designed board of 7 interconnecting rings made of triangles, squares and hexagons. One of those games that takes minutes to learn and a lifetime to master. You place pieces each round trying to control areas and you do have the option of moving opponents pieces to areas of your choosing.
15
Backgammon
Backgammon Board3
Versions of this game have been popular ranging as far back as 3000 BCE in Egypt, Persia, and Rome. The game involves some luck with dice rolling and some strategy with planning moves. It has been very popular since the 1700s as a strategy/gambling game. Today there are a number of clubs devoted to it and a world championship held each year in Monte Carlo.
14
Risk
1957 Parker Brothers
Risk-Game-Of-Global-Domination
The original mass produced world conquest game has each player send their armies into battle to take over continents and finally the world. Play has a large random element with dice rolls, a good amount of strategy, and is fun for the making of alliances and the
eventual backstabbing when they no longer suit you.
13
Diplomacy
1959 Games Research
400X00100
Similar in some ways to Risk this world conquest game has a unique twist. Before each round players go off in pairs with each other making deals. “If you send troops to attack him here I will attack him here”. They negotiate this way with each other. “He is planning to move to attack you here so fortify it and he will be weak here so I will attack him there” After everyone has made plans this way they write down on paper what they actually do which can range from anticlimactic to shockingly unexpected.
12
Mah Jong
Mahjongcv
Developed about 2500 years ago in ancient China this game (not to be confused with the Mah Jong solitaire game which has been a popular video game in different versions) caused a sensation when introduced into the west around 1920. It became a fad among the middle and upper classes and today vintage sets from that era are sought after collectibles, however be warned many had tiles made of ivory and ownership can be illegal in some areas.
11
Tactics II
1958 Avalon Hill
Tactics Ii Cover
The original Tactics published in 1954 was a predecessor to this classic. Avalon Hill was known as THE wargame company and produced strategy “chit based” games on virtually every major battle in history. This was the one that started the entire wargame genre and without it there likely wouldn’t have been many of the newer games on the list.

10
Bridge
Bridge
19th century developed from earlier games. This is the king of trick taking card games. Teams work together to try and make books after bidding on how many they expect to take and the suit to be considered trump. Not as popular as it once was, there are still a number of fans and newspaper columns devoted to the strategy of the game appear in many newspapers on a regular basis.
9
Civilization
1981 Avalon Hill
Civilization-4-2
The opposite of the conquer the world type games this is about developing societies through trade and cooperation with other players. You need to help your fellow players in order to advance your own societies and the game has a good moral lesson as well as being highly fun to play. An online version of the game has been remarkably successful as well.
8
Dungeons and Dragons
800Px-Dungeons And Dragons Game
While this one barely qualifies on the physical pieces requirement it has to make the list based on originality and long lasting appeal. In 1974 Tactical Studies Rules (TSR) a small company that produced wargames produced this based on their chainmail game of wargame rules. The longest lasting and most popular of the RPG (Role playing game) genre has each player create a fantasy (typically middle ages style) character while a DM (Dungeon Master) creates a story scenario. The players then work as a team to solve the created problems such as battling monsters, negotiating with NPCs(Non player characters run by the DM), disarming traps, and rescuing damsels in distress. The role playing part can range from minor bad acting out of fantasies to seriously talented (I’ve seen a few people who could be on the stage with their skill) but the strategic part is what interests many players. There have been several editions over the years with different rules so be sure your group uses the same set that you do. The game suffered a bad reputation in 1982 when an exploitive TV movie was made about a teenage player using the game as a way to plan the murder of his stepfather.
7
Settlers of Catan
1995 Klaus Teuber/Mayfair Games
Giant-Settlers
The game that established Germany as the most innovative game nation of the last decade has had tremendous worldwide popularity with many different versions (Seafarers of Catan/Starfarers of Catan). One of the cooperation/resource trading games genre it features gathering of the resources you have access to such as wood, grain, wool, and brick and trading extras to other players so that you can each build your areas. Played on a board of interconnecting hexagons, it can be rearranged for each new game creating different strategies each time.
6
Carcassonne
2000 Hans Im Gluck/Rio Grande Games
Carcassonne
This German game won the 2001 game of the year award and has been extremely popular worldwide with a number of optional expansion sets. Square tiles are drawn and feature a puzzle like design. Placed together in different ways the game board is built as you play as you try to build cities, roads, fields, and cloisters scoring points both along the way and at the end. One of the fun aspects in multiplayer is that no one gets eliminated along the way and has to sit and watch the surviving players.
5
Axis and Allies
c 1980 Nova Games. 1984 Milton Bradley
Axisallieseuropeboard
The ultimate world conquest game has been called “Risk on steroids”. Highly in depth rulebook and attractive playing pieces have made this THE World War II game. It features in depth strategy and even though it is dice based a minimal luck factor. Some players even eliminate the dice and just determine results of attacks based on odds. The original features the entire world war while later versions have been produced concentrating on Europe or the Pacific. A highly addictive game for many be warned to have enough time as games can take quite a while. I once played from 7pm to 6am, although 4 hours is usually enough time. Optional expansions both licensed and unlicensed have been produced.
4
Illuminati
1982 Steve Jackson Games
Illuminati-Cards
The ultimate game for conspiracy theorists and just silly fun for others. This game features cards for various groups and players work to each build their own conspiracies through them. Perhaps the FBI is controlling the Ford Motor Company, or the Semiconscious Liberation Army has secret plans regarding the IRS and Cattle Mutilators. Do South American Nazis really run the Nanotech Companies? Along with a traditional method of winning each player also has an individual victory goal which makes the game highly challenging. Special rule… cheating is both allowed and encouraged (other than stealing from the bank while collecting your normal income) as long as you don’t get caught.
3
Go
From about 2000 BCE Japan and China.
Go-Game
Former world chess champion Emanuel Lasker once said “although chess is probably confined to Earth, if there is intelligent life on other planets, surely they know Go.” Each player has stones of either white or black and take turns laying them on intersections of a 19×19 grid. Simple rules and infinitely complex strategies make this one of the greatest games ever.
2
Chess
Chess
(Predecessors from 600 BCE) India. What can be written about chess that hasn’t been? One of the most popular games worldwide for over 500 years this game has had more clubs devoted to it, more books written about it, more computer versions (one theory suggests computers were invented mainly to create chess programs) than any other game. The game masters the art of removing luck and leaving it purely at skill.
1
Poker
Poker Cards
The origins of the game are lost to history today but variants such as the French Poque have been around for 300 years. The most popular strategy game in the US and probably the world today is played regularly by tens of millions in the US alone. The game is about mastering luck in which the random element of the cards dealt is compensated for by the skills involved in betting, bluffing, calculating odds, and trying to figure out what your opponent has and will do. Poker has experienced an explosive growth in popularity over the last 6 years as televised matches among the top players have been very popular. Although there are many variants such as 7 card stud and Omaha High-Low, one of the lesser known ones worldwide, No Limit Texas Hold-em has been the most televised and seen the biggest boost. The World Championship held each year in Las Vegas is open to anyone with $10,000 to enter and often features celebrities (Don’t underestimate them! some like Gabe Kaplan, Sully Erna, Jennifer Tilly, and Montel Williams have had some notable results) and poker professionals, online players, and amateurs.

World’s Most Expensive Comic Book

Many people read comic books growing up as kids, but a certain few retain their passion and become meticulous collectors of expensive comic books. Other people think of comic books as juvenile superhero fantasies, but the sophisticated storytelling and artwork of modern comic books and graphic novels is changing that perception. The most expensive comic books in the world, however, will inevitably be the earliest and most historic examples of the medium.
World's Most Expensive Comic Book - Action Comics #1
Any serious comic book collector can tell you that the world’s most expensive comic book is DC’s Action Comics #1 (1938). Written by Jerry Siegel and illustrated by Joe Shuster, this book contained our first 12-page glimpse of the iconic superhero, Superman. One may wonder why this comic would outsell, say, the first appearance of Spider-Man, especially considering the success of the Spider-Man movie franchise and the box office flop that marked Superman’s return to Hollywood in 2006. The answer lies not in the fact that Action Comics #1 contains the first appearance of Superman, but that it contains the first appearance of the modern superhero.
All of the stereotypical devices of the superhero genre are combined for the first time in this issue; superpowers, secret identities, pseudo-scientific origins and, yes, even tights. Superman was the amalgamation of Greek myth with Flash Gordan and just a smattering of everyday life. Ultimately, it was the same combination that we still see today, to some extent, in the immensely successful Batman, X-Men and Iron Man franchises.
A copy of Action Comics #1 was sold by ComicConnect.com in March, 2010 for $1.5 million. Alongside the Superman story, the book included ten other features, such as Tex Thompson and Zatara, Master Magician.
World's Most Expensive Comic Book - Flash Comics #1
Action Comics #1 may lose its place at the top of the pile, however, if this special ashcan edition of Flash Comics #1 sells for its asking price. That’s a big “if,” however, as the asking price is $5 million.
So what makes this comic so special? As the story goes, publishers Fawcett Comics and All American Comics scrambled to publish ashcan editions of “Flash Comics” in order to secure the copyright. All American, one of the three companies that eventually merged to form DC Comics, won the race and published 104 issues of Flash Comics, starring the Flash.
Interestingly enough, Fawcett’s Flash Comics (retitled Whizz Comics) debuted Captain Thunder (renamed Captain Marvel), a character later awarded to DC in a copyright infringement suit based on his similarities to Superman.
