I believe that except for estabilished franchises, from now on we will see platform games mostly in digital form. by the way, short length aside, I think The Maw is pretty cool. and IIRC there's an Oddworld game in development.
the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!
um kameo says hi
there r plenty of platform games but they suck (besides kameo)
crash,spyro, and wall-e are all platform games.
also u can probably count sonic and banjo as well in this category
as u can see none of these games sold well(besides kameo) so y would people keep making them
Voodoo Vince one of the most underrated 6th gen games btw I have a copy up on ebay for sale right now and cheap too.
Heavens to Murgatoids.

I'm not saying there aren't any on the 360. Obviously Rare provides some interesting platformers and there are the multiplatform ones like Tomb Raider and Sonic. I am talking about bringing back and perhaps making the original ones on the 360 and making them better.
I remember playing Blinx. At the time, I thought the character models looked so cool. 
Psychonauts was a lot of fun. Definitely enjoyed it more than Blinx. Doubt the franchise will return though.
Person 1: Does Valkyria Chronicles have trophies?
Person 2: No.
Person 1: Forget it. I'm not buying it.
Person 2: Wait! It's amazing! Unique, charming, drop dead gorgeous... Hello?
360 is a bit better than the Xbox thanks to XBLA.
We have had a few decent platformers on the 360 thus far:
Mirror's Edge (Multi)
Crackdown (Yes, it's a sandbox shooter. But dang it, the platforming is better than the game!)
Braid
The Maw
Kameo
And there've been probably 2-3 dozen others on XBLA that are exclusive, or multi-plat.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Kameo's not a platformer. It's an adventure game in the same area as the Legend of Zelda. Jumping along platforms is no more than maybe a miniscule percentage of the game.
I believe Cloning Clyde qualifies as a platformer though.
