Because 3d doesn't always mean better. Look at this, and tell me that 3d would be better.

Is Muramasa a retail game? I'm assuming it is WiiWare since it is posted in this thread.

@SaviorX No, but I posted it to prove that 2d graphics could look nice or even nicer than 3d graphics.

The game has such an artistic presentation. I haven't seen anything like it in video game form.

 I know 3d isn't always better. But everyone always asks for 2d games like a 3d version would be trash. A stylish game like Muramasu looks great in 2d. But Mario and Metroid could go either way. I would just prefer 3d.

Odin Sphere, the spiritual prequel to Muramasa. Developed by the same people. Muramasa looks better though. It also runs better.

@Pretendo I did say 2.5d or 2D. Which means the characters are made of polygons and the backgrounds are 2D. An example of this is New Super Mario Bros.

A new Four swords with online would be awesome =D

 I know. I'm just saying they're are too many people who want a game to look like it was made before 3d was possible.

I just want Ninty to make more 3d sidescrollers especially on DS (it being home to a lot of sidescrollers and being Nintendo's first 3d-capable handheld). NSMB was great by the way.
