Will the Wii ever match the 64 in terms of awesome platformers?

Starfox Adventures is not even a platformer.

 

Are you sure it's platformer you like?

Platformers aren't my favorite games to begin with but I'm pretty sure Star Fax Adventures would be considered a platformer. It may also be an action game.

It's an action/adventure game, a Zelda like.

This is not a platformer. Like I said you can't even jump, it's all automatic.

Well automatic jumping is too Star Fox Adventures what on-rail is to most FPS's on the Wii. Yet we still consider them FPS's. So I still consider it a platformer. Just like I consider Ratchet a platformer.

Wait, what?!  Uh, SFA isn't even close to be being a platformer.  And no, no one calls games like HOTD 2&3/Overkill, Ghost Squad, REUC/DSC or DSE a FPS either...

R&C's kinda of a platformer, kind of a shooter.  I'd just call it an action game really, but I'd still be fine with anyone calling it a platformer.
