@smeags  there hasnt been much this gen, I think after the madness of Mario 64 went away it kinda went down. I remember when Sony and 3rd parties had a slew of me too 3d platformers, some of them were actually worth a damn. I gotta give it to Wii this time though. Xbox360 i dont even think they have a 3d platformer except for Banjo and I have not heard good things. Sony has R&C which is always good but thats about it. Ninty has Mario Galaxy which in my opinion is what Mario 64 and Sunshine should have been. Yeah def. Wii even though I play Crack in Time more than Mario Galaxy, its Wii. Im sure they have some others I dont know about

Yeah, the 360 definitely has a big ol' hole where 3D platforming should be, which is a shame.

PS3, like you said, has the Ratchet series, which is a solid Action-Platformer. I've always heard good things about the games. Some users here have put Uncharted 1/2 in the genre... but I think the majority agrees that the series falls into the Action-Adventure genre. Action/Adventure games can still have platforming elements people (which is why its my second favorite genre).

And like you said, Wii has the Galaxies.

And besides some smaller 3D Platformers (like Sonic, de Blob, Rabbids Go Home), that's pretty much it for all three consoles. Didn't realize the genre was that small (as far as 3D titles go anyways). Lamesauce!
