I really have no idea where this thread went in terms of discussion (too lazy to read StickBall and Jarrod's giant posts 
) but as someone who just loves platformers, I couldn't be happier (well... I'm still missing Banjo and Conker... but what can ya do?) with their little renaissance on the Wii.
Seriously, I have 2D/3D Sonic (and Sonic Colors is a totally fun game. So happy to see the Blue Blur getting better and better), 2D/3D Mario (Galaxy was actually my favorite 3D Platformer ever... and then Galaxy 2 came out. An incredible game.), Kirby (this is the most adorable game I've ever played. It's also incredibly fun... I love the firetruck transformation!), Donkey Kong, Wario, Klonoa, de Blob, A Boy and His Blob, Epic Mickey (while not exactly a pure Platformer, there's plenty of fun running and jumping and exploring), and the LostWinds games. I'm totally happy with how this generation is turning out as far as the Platformers go, and I'm hoping that the genre's resurgent success keeps going.
