Are you talking about back-tracking in technology?

No.

I just think platformers are inherently better in the 2D format. It has nothing to do with technology, you could make a 2D platformer and it still have mindblowing 3D graphics.

It's just a lot harder to make a good 3D platformer, and a lot of franchises that tried to make the transition to 3D really suffered from it. Sonic is a good example, Castlevania have also tried and failed.

I was pretty heavy against the Wii, just because it never caught my eye.
I'm giving it more attention now that Monster Hunter 3 is to be released for it.

A 2D Mario game on a home console? Thats enough to make me blow my load, it's like 1991 again. I'm very excited about it.
I'm not disagreeing with any of that. But what I saw in the TV conference just didn't do much for me. They highlighted the multi-player function. So what? Didn’t look like it offered much else unfortunately.

I'd rather just play the original version downloaded from WiiWare. Same kind of nostalgia.

Some of the Wii stuff they showed at E3 looks pretty good (Mario Galaxy 2!), but this Project Natal thing is a big blow to Nintendo, I think.

Definetly this. The Milo demo blew my mind.

I admit, it's a great and innovative idea.

But it's funny how motion sensing was considered a gimmick by Xbox fanboys when Nintendo did it, but now it's something revolutionary.

What's gonna happen when this just leads to a bunch of 3rd party shovelware games? Because I'm pretty damn sure that is exactly what's gonna happen.

I'm excited for Natal only because of the Milo demo. That really took me by surprise.

I'm sorry to rain on the Wii love thread, but am I the only person who thinks that the Wii is this generation's Power Glove in phallus format?

Not to say that it doesn't have some fun games, but I think the whole motion sensor aspect gets old and dry after a while.

It isn't. It's already far, far more successful than the powerglove ever was.
