I think he is right when talking about platformers in a way.
Games like RPGs incorporate exploration into them, a platformer is not about exploration, it's about jumping and timing. Having to do that in 3D can be a slower and more complicated process, thus it detracts from the point of the game.
I personally still prefer 3D Mario, but I have good 3D spatial awareness.
