@OP: You can misguidedly lament the loss of 2d gaming all you want, or you could support the good 2d games out there now. May I suggest Aquaria?
NSMBWii came out recently, Megaman 10 was just announced today, and PixelJunk Shooter comes out this month. This year alone we've already seen some excellent 2d games: PixelJunk Eden Encore, Scribblenauts, Patapon 2, Shadow Complex, LittleBigPlanet PSP, Trine, and Trials HD. Those are off the top of my head, I'm sure I missed a few. I'm usually not one to spout off lists, but you're kinda deluding yourself if you think 2d is in decline, especially from last generation.
