Hopefully this sells like hotcakes spiked with cocaine, and becomes the first title to break one gazillion units sold, heralding in a new, glorious age of 2D gameplay.

Hehe. Realistically, I hope sales of this show there is still a demand for new 2D console games. It's a pity that 2D was mostly shoved onto handhelds starting with the PS1, so much more can be done with 2D gameplay these days, than was possible on the SNES.

Just look at World of Goo, Braid, or Boy and his Blob. Beautiful games with fantastic art, and they don't need to be 3d to do it.

Don't forget Wario & Muramasa  ;)
