I think the transition from 2D to 3D was inevitable since Nintendo experimented with it on the Snes. But I must say that a lot of companies closed their doors because their IPs did not make a successful jump into the 3D realm. And even some of the ones that did make a successful attempt at 3D found the cost of development to be a lot more expensive and could not continue to develop games and closed their doors.
That's the sad part about the transition.



If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba
