I don't think the issue lies with 2D graphics versus 3D graphics - I believe it lies with whether or not it's a 3D game world.

R-Type Delta on PSOne is 3D graphics, but the gameplay is nothing but pure 2D shoot-em-up, same with Einhander.

There appears to be a temptation to move games into a 3D world, and I don't think it always works. Case in point, the Mario games. I love the old 2D NES/SNES originals but really don't like Mario 64/Sunshine. I thought the move to a 3D world killed them.

I was so glad to see Contra keep 2D gameplay, even though it's rendered in 3D.
