Small anecdote here:
I overheard a conversation between a young woman and a young man concerning video games. Long story short, the woman could not handle the complicated nature of video games, but loved retro gaming. Considering how old we are, retro is Super Mario World, which she claimed she loved. As I heard this, I couldn't help but think to tell her that New Super Mario Bros. Wii has just come out, a Super Mario World 18 years removed.
2D is not niche, it is misrepresented. |
Thing is, when 3D came out, there was the normal period where the wow factor just took hold and carried gaming towards 3D, but at this point, 3D has become nothing new, and people are realizing that in many ways, 2D gaming is just more enjoyable
