However I counter that with Megaman, Metroid, Castlevania, and Zelda.

...those aren't platformers...

Edit: Well, Megaman's borderline, I admit...

Note the edit...

MegaMan and the early Castlevanias were less about the jumping and platforming, more about the fighting and action. They're kinda platformers, but bad examples of the genre. Later Castlevania and Metroid were a combination of fighting and exploration... adventure games, not platformers.

Conker's Bad Fur Day had a very hummorous ending. And while I prefer 2D Metroid, I also prefer 3S Metal Gear to the 2D one.
When I'm bored, I like to wander around and cast X-Zone on random things.

Metroid Prime might not be superb as a shooter, but it's WONDERFUL for an adventure game, in my opinion... I prefer Prime to SM, and Prime2 is tied with SM...

Well I just don't find 3D to be necessary in general. The platformer thing was probably something bad to throw in, but Samus was on the brain and I consider that an adventure/platform. Especially with Zelda actually. From what I did play of TOoT, it was slightly more forced than Minish cap... <_< *cough* on my comp*cough*

Eh, that's your opinion, not going to try disputing it. I think that a lot of 3-D is unneccessary, but some games actually DO work well with it.

I'm sorry but until Blzzard makes a game that sucks I will be required, nay forced, to buy them all.

At least when they hit a reasonable price for some of them.

Games like Mario, Sonic, MegaMan, etc. lose their charm when they move from side-scrolling to 3-D. They lose that wonder that captivated so many and become something entirely different.

Zelda, on the other hand, doesn't really change all that much.

Completely forgot about sonic.

I think I might have just had my fill of that battle system with Dark Cloud.

When I have some money again I am so getting Ys6.

Sonic did not make a good transition to the third dimension. We can all agree on that.

Mario, however, did. Hell, do you realize how many times I just ran around doing absolute shit because I could in Mario 64?

As for Metroid Prime, it is a First Person Adventure, not a First Person Shooter. If you are expecting a First Person Shooter, as I can tell from your other examples (Doom and Quake), you will be disappointed.

I won't comment on Megaman Legends, because I've never played it.

And Castlevasnia 64, while not my cup of tea, seemed well done.

All in all, 2D or 3D, what matters is if the game is still fun. Whether it works in that dimension or not. (I love Viewtiful Joe. That game could definitely suck if it were 3D.)

All of the best games I've ever played worked in 2d, or at most pusedo-3d. Fallout, FFT, HoMM, Icewind Dale, Buldurs Gate.

The only 3d games I liked, were The Sims, Half-Life, FF7, and Dawn of War.

And every Blizzard game ever made.

I am replaying Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga. I forgot how delightfully absurd and rediculous the plot is. (Just retrieved the Chuckola Reserve, and am en route to Woohoo Hooniversity. God, the names are also rediculous!)

Also, as I've said on repeated occasion, I enjoy the fact that Mario and Luigi don't just sit back and take an enemy attack like some FF pussy.

And Bros. Attacks are much more fun than watching a summon.

I'd like you to sign this pedition, that FFX should be refered to as a movie, and not a game.
