Actually, it's obvious that people can't know if they like something new until they try it, and blind hatred towards 3D sounds quite luddite, but I get the objection against 3D Mario platformers if they are meant to replace 2D ones, they can be an addition to them, but they cannot replace them by any means, they are completely different stuff. Personally I like 3D games (on 2D screens, I still don't like 3D ones!) but for me the true Mario is still 2D, indeed I even prefer the totally flat and pixellated one of the origins to successive refinements that made him look like a plastic doll. The issue is very simple: there are some things that are better in 2D, or isometric 3D from above, than in 1st or 3rd person 3D.
