It sounds an awful lot like what we've already seen from Nintendo, sans the high def.
New SMB was an updated version of the 2D styled side-scrolling Mario games. Seems it took Nintendo doing something that was fairly popular to Mario fans to finally realize they'd be better off going back to old school styled Sonic.
I still don't know why companies think the 2D side scrollers are a dead genre. New Super Mario Brothers or Braid, anyone?
Games, at their heart, are supposed to be fun. More and more devs just seem to want to throw in the newest and flashiest ideas and **** off on the gameplay. Big pretty colors and explosions with a repetitive and dull gameplay and/or unresponsive controls <> fun IMO.
Hell Braid was just a small, short 2D sidescrolling pixelated platformer on a current generation system, yet it's an absolutely amazing game.
