Many people diss off 2D as 'old, 1990's gaming', and have very little respect for 2D games.
*slaps*
But now with 3D in almost every home console game produced, can 2D still match up to the monsterous games that house 3D.
Well, judging on the likes of Viewtiful Joe and Paper Mario 2, I'd be stupid to say 'No, they can't'.
I would love to see 2D grace back into the market. So what if you can only move in four directions? In some games that's how it should be, especially frantic shooters like Metroid, Metal Slug and the up-and-coming Alien Hominid.
Although I probably won't happern, I would love to see alot more 2D games produced by developers.

Stupid thing is, yes you will.
There's always this stupid nostalgia. Yes, these games were great.
But Zelda II or OOT or WW?

i agree with the 2D loving people. in my oppinion 2D games on the SNES will never be beaten for gameplay. the graphics were lacking but you wont get the same out of a game now that they gave. games like super metroid, mystic quest, illusion of time... the list is almost endless. i think the new consoles should explore 2D games more and try and replicate the quality of the early nintendo games
I 'respect' 2D and play Super Mario World, VJ (pseudo-2D in parts really) etc.
But come on, 3D just gives you so much more.

Wario Ware is a top quality new 2D game. Although not the adventure time game you mean.
Pokemon still sells millions and the new Zelda will perform very well.
Four Swords on the Gamecube is also doing rather well. Mainly critically though.

Yes, that's why the GBA sells so badly.
I'm glad Nintendo are making 2D games for the DS. I was worried they'd venture into 3D gaming and handhelds would truly go wrong from that point forward.
There's a few 2D games coming out for the DS.. Super Peach DS and that Baby Mario/Yoshi one.. it ain't dead by any means. And Paper Mario looks awesome. :)

That's why hardly anybody is willing to make 2D games. I agree that in some cases 2D is great; Super Mario World is one of my favourite games, but it is harder to be original with 2D because everything appears to have been done before.
Also, many people refuse to play 2D games because they are 'old fashioned' and those people want the most impressive up-to-date graphics and technology.
