I like both too, BUT Phantom Hourglass really blew me away. I'm really pleased that the new HM will have 3D.

I enjoy 3D games that are controlled as if they were 2D. Examples include New Super Mario Bros. and Phantom Hourglass.

I prefer 2D. For the DS that is. The DS can do some amazingly gorgeous 2D (sadly there are few games that use this well) as well as games with an emphasis on great artwork (Hotel Dusk). The DS's 3d for the most part is still quite crude for my liking.

Sadly the developers for the DS don't seem to be making 2d games as good looking as the system is capable of for the most part.

2d ftw. but i ofcousre still appreciate a good 3d game like mph.

i also like 2.5d games like nsmb, where they use some 3d graphics but the gameplay is 2d gold. they so needa make a metroid like that.

There are some great 2D games. The examples up there don't even scratch the surface, Contra 4 has some of the most beautiful hand drawn art I've ever seen in a game. I like 3D as well, but 2D more.

I like 2D better. Especially on the DS when 2D games can look alot more clean/crisp than 3D games.

exactly. some 3d are lacking, and i don't like pixelated textures b/c im picky like that. still, im tolerant of it especial with ff3. i especially love the 2d graphics for Yoshi's island, (as i liked it then on SNES).

Both :) 3D characters in a 2D background

And i like both but i prefer 2D

OMG YOMI! *points at avatar*
Sorry. Been a while since I've seen someone with a YYH avatar... from the last arc. @_@


ANYWAY! Getting back on topic:
Depends on the game. I like both but I'm leaning toward 2D myself. Nostalgia and all that.

It really depends on the genre of the game. But for the most part, I really don't care.

Usually, I like 3D games (that's typical). However, I really can't stand when people try to use extensive 3D on the DS. The DS looks great with proper 2D graphics, and 3D games make it look chunky and ugly.

Good 2D is better than bad 3D. It not only looks better, but it plays better too...The World End With You and Ninja Gaiden have the same basic mechanics, but The World Ends With You is much more manageabe because dealing with sprites is so much easier...and more fun

well, I kinda wanted zelda DS to be 2D, and not a windwaker game because even though it would be "going backwards", a 2D zelda game with the capacity of the DS would be absolutly massive and huge, with even more weapons, dungeons and secrets to uncover. I just think it would be cool even if they did that only once, just to see how big they could make it.

Plus, outdated 3D graphics bug me, but I see no difference in outdated sprites.

I feel the samy way but for a different reason. I think a 2d DS Zelda would be great. I thought that PH was innovative with the control, but I wasn't too crazy about it. My hand and the stylus blocked the screen.

I prefer 3D, but I think a combination of both seems to work best on DS. Games like Soma Bringer, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword and Rune Factory are probably some of my favorites on DS, so far as graphics go.

I grew up during the SNES days, so I'd definitely lean more towards 2d then 3d. =P

I like both, but I've always liked 2D a little more.
