I was never a fan of Sonic if that's what you're talking about.

I haven't played any great 2D platformers lately, but then again, I don't keep up with the handhelds either.  I've heard that NSMB is very good (it's Mario so of course it is good), but I don't recognize "YIDS".  Any other recomendations?

Yoshi's Island DS

DK isn't bad, but I personally feel it is overrated compared to the other Nintendo games at the time, and don't get the fuzz (I'm a N64 generation person though, so I lost the greatness of the 2D era).

 

I grew up with an SNES, so I could be looking at DKC through rose colored glasses, but I would love to see a DKC4.  I thought the 3D one didn't feel like DKC very much.

You mentioned 2D Metroid, and that would be sweet.  I just don't really view it as a platformer.  To me it was a action/adventure/shooter/platformer.  So that's why I say the DKC franchise was number 2 after Super Mario World and Super Mario World: Yoshi's Island on the SNES.
