Is 2D Platformers still worth $60?

I´m not sure there´s an objective answer here.

In my opinion, a very high quality platformer in all aspects (gameplay, visual, audio, replayability), regardless whether it´s 2D or 3D, is worth those $60.

I agree with this, but at the same time, the mainstream gaming audience has clearly spoken their mind on their perception of platformers, the past few years.  Even a big name like Donkey Kong, which has been spun for over 2.5 decades, has lost it's value to a lot of gamers, ESPECIALLY mainstream.  If Nintendo REALLY wants to right this ship, take a break from platformers would be my first suggestion...
