I agree...but it hit the low point around 2004 and 2D has been slowly coming back out to play. Contra:Shatered soldier and Gradius V started the renesance on PS2 by mixing 2D with 3D visials. Like street Fighter 4. Yeah its 3D in visuals but its got 2D gameplay. Kinda like Castle Crashers is 2D with 3D gameplay...
2D games are some of my favourite games of all time. Castlevania for example and the disgrace they have put the series through after making it 3D...everyone involved in making 3D castlevanias should all get 30 whip lashes. :)
But not all is bad for that series, Wiiware is getting a Casltevania Rebirth title, and already has a 2D contra released which was cool.
So I don't think the state of 2D gaming is all that bad. It will never sell like it did back in the day, but do we really need it to be mainstream?
