Nintendo really ought to consider doing some completely 2D games

Not like New Super Mario Bros, sprites, no 3D whatsoever In-Game. Using this old-school formula, Nintendo would satisfy the many fans begging for a 2D metroid/mario/zelda/ect and be allowed much more space. If with 3D graphics they could make the wonder that is Galaxy, imagine what they could do with all of that extra space for a 2D game! The levels would be huge, the power-ups and enemies would be plentifully, more effert could be put into music, gameplay, and new innovative ideas without the hassle of making everything 3D, ect. Even if they did go New Super Mario Bros style and make it 3D in 2D, they would still save a lot of room. Agreed?

Gaming is most likely never going to completely go back to 2D format on a console. But I don't really see the need to make a 2D game on the Wii, especially if it's a popular franchise like Zelda or Mario.

I think 2d is ready for a come back. Lets think about it. Castlevania just isn't any good 3d. A castlevania for the wii in 2d would be awsome. Doesn't have to be completely 2d. It culd have 3d background.

2D isn't dead on console yet, just look at Street Fighter 4 (hopefully the wii will get a version of it).

2d games sound like the perfect use of Wiiware.

Hate to tell you this but when you say making the game 2D would save room for better gameplay. Gameplay quality doesnt really take up space. And when you say it would let developers have room for new innovation, they already did that with 2D games, they innovated to create 3D games. Sorry but I'm 99% sure there wont ever be another side scrolling mario, metroid, or zelda game on the Wii. I hope for more on the DS but not on the Wii.
