Ah, so throw out everything you don't agree with, eh?
What platformers could of been released on the HD consoles that were not released? The majority - the vast majority - of platformer sales on the Wii are from titles that cannot be ported to other consoles.
There are many ways to look at the argument. If your going to attempt to discredit everything that isn't on the Wii because it isn't your system of choice, then it clearly shows you aren't trying to make a reasonable, or logical argument.
But again, what platformers weren't released on HD consoles? Epic Mickey? That is the only one I can think of, and I'd argue they did that because they figured the user base was ripe for a Disney-based game. Having said that, you can look at other platformer IPs like the Lego series, and they've had pretty reasonable success on the HD consoles, despite a smaller market share.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
