Amen, sister .

Well, their first point is completely valid: the Wii has the largest library of 2D downloadable games hands down. No questions asked. This allows newer generations of gamers to experience classics of the past at relatively cheap prices and without the hassle of trying to track down old games and systems. Because of this, that audience will begin to appreciate 2D games and what they offer and may signal a rise in their popularity.

I believe their second point is valid as well. Sure, while MM9 may be going to every current gen console, there are many other Nintendo series that could follow suit and see a similar retro revival just because of the sheer quantity of old-school Nintendo series there are. Neither Microsoft nor Sony has this advantage since they were both established as competitors in the console industry after the 2D era, so it would be impossible for them to do a retro revival for one of their own series since, quite frankly, none of them existed back then. Of course, third party retro revivals are still possible on their platforms, but they would likely also come to the Wii, which would guarantee that the Wii would still have more retro revivals due to Nintendo's own support.

While there aren't that many ground-up 2D games on the Wii, many of them, such as Wario Land: Shake It!, receive more attention from the Nintendo fanbase than other 2D games for other platforms due to the fact that the core Wii audience and Nintendo fans typically have more interest in those types of games, whereas the average 360/PS3 fan would care much more about what the next big FPS game is.

Also, like it or not, the Wii has the best D-Pad of any current gen console period.

That's because your first console was a DS.
