In your opinion, which franchise had the best jump from 2D to 3D?

Mario is the only franchise that kept the same style with a new dimension. They reinvented the platformer to make it play the same with a new dimension. It was still all about jumping. Since the jumps couldn't be as narrow and crazy and hard in 3-D, they added backflips, long jumps, triple jumps, and wall jumps, and adjusted the level design accordingly, and it worked wonders.

In the 2-D Zeldas, the combat was harder than the 3-D Zeldas. They solved the 3rd dimension problem with "locking on" which made it work, but at the cost of difficulty. You can't really run around shooting arrows everywhere in 3-D like you could in 2-D.

 

 I disagree. Metroid Prime had the same eerie environment and exploration that the 2D Metroids had. If anything, it even improved and made the environment even more eerie. If only they brought Kraid to the Prime series. He was my favorite boss and would have been outstanding in 3d.
