Okay, Mega 2, if Nintendo hasn't made any good 3D Mario games, what the hell do you call Super Mario 64? Oh, you know, that little game that invented the 3D platforming genre?
And why is it every Mario game you don't like is an "orthodoxie"? I get real annoyed by closed-minded "old farts" who can't enjoy anything released after '93. Not every early 90's sidescroller is good, folks! Let's face it, Mario is Missing was one of the most disappointing games Nintendo has ever released, and, *gasp* it was released during your "Golden Age" of Mario! Are good games, esepecially good sidescrollers, harder to find now? You bet. Does that mean no one makes good games anymore? No.
And don't think I'm some 12-year old moron who thinks all games have to be 3D to be good either. I was pretty aggravated to hear that the next Metroid game was not only rumored to be produced by a no-name 2nd party (Retro Studios?), but it was going to be 3D?! NOOO!!
My point? Grow up. Expand you tastes in gaming. At least try something before you turn your back on it or call it an "orthodoxie." A game is not required by law to be a sidescroller to be good, regardless of the painful lack of good sidescrollers.
