What makes Donkey Kong Country for the Wii special?

^^^ how is it being devalued??? The Wii gets a bunch of 2d platformers. So do PSN/LIVe just because there on the "dirty" DL service there not good??? BS, there are some good games on those services. Rocket Knight, Trine, Sonic4, Braid, Limbo, Mega Man just to name a few, and more are on the way. There is more 2d platformers released this gen than there was last gen, so i dont see the problem. You want it to be like the 16bit era where there was nothing but ripoff animal mascots??? Those days wont be returning and personally im happy for that

How are they being devalued?  Because there are now a lot of people who think that if it is a 2-D game, it should only be:

A) A portable or downloadable title

and

B) Cheap

I've seen plenty of people that believe these games to be inherently inferior to 3-D games.

It has nothing to do with quality.  I never said anything about quality.  There are plenty of great 2-D games.  What I don't like is publishers, developers, and gamers acting like these games are not as good just because they are 2-D.

Where did I ever say that I want a return to all the mascot games?  Why are you trying to put words in my mouth?
