More 2D Games on Consoles

[Thomas]

Just because consoles are powerful these days and have amazing 3D graphics, but is it just me or do they need to be making more 2D games on consoles.

I mean how awesome would a new Metroid game be in the Wii, a 2D Halo on the Xbox 360, etc...

These powerful machines could produce some beautiful high resolution sprites.

What do you guys think? What 2D games would you want to see on the current consoles.

I doubt that any 2d games would ever come out onto those types of consoles (Wii, 360, PS3) because as you said the consoles are extremely powerful, so they would usually try and get its limit, which is 3d games.

Also graphics are a lot to some gamers, some people can't stand games just because of their graphics, as I know a few who won't play a certain game because it's look, they didn't even try it out. (The game is SC2 btw, if you wanted to know)

But 2d games are suited for handhelds (Such as Metroid Dread, which will be a continuation of Metroid Fusion) As they can handle them a lot better than 3d games (Excluding PSP, mainly referring to DS)

But there are sometimes where you get a rare gem, Odin Sphere on PS2 which is a hard game too find (It was for me as I live in Aus, so no amazon naturally won't send it to me)

Super Smash Bros. Brawl has 2-D single player side scroller levels, though I would love to see some more games incorporate those elements once again.

Sonic the Hedgehog is a great example, having not made as great a jump to 3D as Mario; he would be much more successful in a new 2D game on a newer console (as evident with Sonic Rush for the DS).

Kirby is another example, they have yet to make a truly 3D Kirby game yet, and I doubt they ever will (though it'd be interesting to see how they'd pull it off, 2D is Kirby's true element).
