I don''t know...actually, doesn''t the trend seem to kind of point the other way, that more people prefer 3D? I mean, look at the games that have come out in the last six months, or year, or probably further back than that--everything''s gone 3d: RPGs, action, strategy, sports...
But, when was the last time you saw a release of a top-down shooter a la Raptor or Tyrian, or a side-scrolling platfomer? (Yes, there was one a year or so ago, but I can''t remember the name.) I, for one, wouldn''t mind seeing some more...The way the games market seems to be getting much 2D attention is in the indie community and handheld consoles, and that''s even starting to change since the GBA can support software 3D.
Oh, and congrats on finally changing your sig. to something reasonable

I believe that certain genere''s of games or even certain series of games should be or should have stayed 2-d. Im sorry but Castlevania doesnt work that well in 3d neither did Mega man. Most real time strategies are usually better in 2d, but thats because there hasnt been a really good RTS in 3d that i have seen yet. RPG''s can go in either direction. Games like FPS are better in 3d in my opinion. (plus its kinda hard to have a 2d FPS)

I like 2D more personally. But there are games 3D is better for, like racing and FPS. I don''t care for either of those genres though 
I do miss the good old side scrollers like Mario, Raptor or games like Prince of Persia. The thing is those games were FUN to play. When I play one of the new 3D games the fun factor is usually not there. Look at Diablo II for instance - I think it''s a very fun game. Would it be better with 3D graphics? Not at all. It would only frustrate players without a good 3D card, and would add nothing to the gameplay.

I prefer 2d games, because my comp can''t run the "fancy" 3d games. However I do like a game of Team Fortress sometimes!

I didn''t care too much for that, although I liked it''s 3d engine better than Myth''s. Metal Fatigue wasn''t bad...but the best "3D" RTS is Total Annihilation, hands down.
I''ve seen both kinds of games with wonderful graphics, and both with lousy graphics. If you guarantee that the graphics are going to be done well I would rather have 3-d ones - If they''re going to be lousy I would rather have 2-d ones.

It seems Capcom has set out to show Konami how they should have done it with Devil May Cry . The previews I''ve seen and read show an exciting and apparently fun to play game, while maintaining an appropriate darkness. I guess we''ll just have to wait and see.
