Are 2D games better than 3D upgrades?

I can't think of a single game which has improved gameplay after switching to 3D. Can anyone?

...every game that features cars and planes ??? ...there are more but with cars and planes there is just no question... you need all three (or four) dimensions...

Most of the good racing games like Mario Kart and F-Zero were already partially 3D on the SNES.  If you're going back to the NES games then you didn't really have racing games so much as on-rails dodge-a-thons.

As for flying games, the 2D ones were already attempting to fake 3D as early as the NES or going the side/top-down shooter route.
