I've been growing up in an era where 2D gaming has been transitioning to 3D gaming, the Play station 1 was probably the last console to have 2D games that didn't have any 3D in it. Hand-helds have always thrived with 2D gaming but now hand-helds are also starting to make their transition to 3D. This really does suck ass, since with this transition the only place you'll see 2D games are at emo fag's houses with their Nintendo's trying to act retro, on the LIVE Marketplace and on your computer. The DS seems to be pretty old now, I'm guessing another year or so before Nintendo comes out with something else.
Contra 4 is going to be a bad ass game over-all, some of the best pixel artists around are working on this game(Fuck anyone who thinks they aren't 'leet' enough, trying making that shit yourselves, assholes), its Contra so you know game-play is gonna be tits and its gonna be on the DS. Being able to do co-op on this is also great, so instead of listening to your Science teacher bitch about how you're talking to much when you should be doing some gay ass work sheet, you can be playing this with your friend across the room.
Hell yeah, its bad ass even from the start, you jump out of a helicopter and you're ready to beat some ass. Jack up the volume on that copy of 'Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power' that you have in your CD Player or just listen to the Contra 4 music, they're both pretty fucking awesome.
I'm not really sure what the future holds for 2D gaming, perhaps it'll just be an indie thing, maybe it'll make a comeback(I mean 2D, not that 'Megaman Powered Up' bullshit). Though I'm sure Contra 4 will be a giant hit, because shit, its awesome. I'll give my review on Contra 4 once I get a copy of it, so keep on the look-out for it.

The future of 2d gaming is flash games, handhelds and ... well... street fighter and king of fighter games. 2d is alive and flourishing. I respect that you have an opinion, but you should seriously think a bit more about leaving your posts with a comment like that without further researching the point yourself....
asshat.
Flash is a terrible media for gaming, in my opinion anyway. The last Street Fighter game to come out that was 2D was a few years ago and King of Fighters has 3D aspects in it now. 2D games are alive and flourishing but not commercially, whens the last time you've seen a fully 2D game hit a major console? Point is is that 2D is becoming a minority in gaming and while it may be still being made, it will probably never be as giant as it was a few years ago, dick face.
