Yes bullshit! I can not, and will not agree with this. First of all, that is not a fact, it is your opinion. So don't ever use "fact" in your bullshit opinions. The reason they are making the game 3D is the same reason why they are cell-shading Zelda, because Nintendo is taking a new direction. If anything, Nintendo is making Metriod 3D because, like I said before, average gamers want what looks pretty. Of course Nintendo won't admit to this, but many developing companies have. They'd make 2D games all day if they could, but that's not going to sell to morons that want cut-scenes, pretty graphics, and lots of blood. They make what is going to sell, so they can put food on the table.
