I think I just like reliving my childhood. But 2D sidescrolling seems to only be done well on the Wii.


I think that's what's happening to me too. Last 2 generations I was all over the "hardcore" games. But this generation I saw how Wii was like the NES reborn with all new awesome 2d platformers, and it made me feel like a child again, and I fell in love with it. And now I think I'm starting to hate the HD consoles because they aren't like the wii.

So now I asked for NSMBWii for Christmas and am looking forward to feeling like I am 10 years old again on christmas morning opening up my SMB3.

Well...while I love all the 2D games on the Wii, such as Muramasa, Warioland and a boy and his blob, I certainly didn't start hating HD consoles because of it...

Many of my favorite games are 2D, but that doesn't mean that there aren't some really good games on the HD consoles.  Heck, one of my favorite developers that have mostly stuck to the 'HD' systems are now working for one of my primarily 2D series now.  That would be Team Ninja and Metroid Other M.
