Somebody explain to me how a 2D game could be "on rails". The closest I can think of is an automatically scrolling screen like in shmups or platformers.

Also, does this mean that Sakamoto wanted to make a 2D game that uses 3D graphics, so kinda like NSMB Wii? In any case, it seems like Team Ninja insisted on adding an unnecessary layer of gameplay to the mix.

Sakamoto wanted 2.5D as in 3D graphics 2D gameplay.

 

the compramise he reached with Team Ninja  is 3D graphics, 2.5D gameplay.

 

so basically Other M is a 2.75D game
