I get where people are coming from with the 3D update hatred, but I have one counterpoint for you all: Super Mario 64.
Am I the only person in the world who found that Super Mario 64 got quite dull quite quickly, due to the fact you had to keep replaying the same stages (albeit performing some different actions each time) an awful lot of times in order to progress?
Yes, you did repeat stages, but each time you went in there was a different objective, and that usually used a different area of that stage. It's a 5-star game, no doubt about that.

Maybe I should have said this differently. I meant to keep the same story line, same charcters and keep it side scrolling, but make it "2-d/3-d".
The informal term for that is 2.5D, just in case you wanted to know.
