3D Platformers, preferably 5th Gen style. Sadly those are being avoided like the plague since halfway through the 6th Gen, so today I'll take anything.

I second this.

But overall I love both, and wouldn't want to go without either.

2D is usually more challenging, so I vote for them. DKC2 is still my favorite platformer ever.

but ninty still makes loads of 3d platformer!

They do? The only recent one I've seen from them is 3D World. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

3D. Indie platformers are fun sometimes.

I don't think I've played any 3D platformer that I unconditionally enjoyed. The controls always feel a bit cumbersome, probably due to having to control so much more (camera, direction). It's easier to focus on the fun part of gameplay instead of micromanagement in 2D platformers.

Generally more planformy (If that makes sense), generally better controls, and I find them more challenging.

Best platformer is Jak n Daxter. That was 3D. I will just list my fav platformers and see where it goes

Jak n Daxter
Crash bandicoot
Spyro
Sonic 2d
Mario 2D
LittleBigPlanet
2D Donkey Kong



Ok i can see a trend forming here. My fav are 3D platformers but their are more 2d platforming games i like. 2D mario games are better than the 3d ones. I dont like 3d mario.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

I've never played guacamelee. Is it good? I was talking about Battleblock theatre, and Mark of the Ninja.
