Miyamoto: "Not Everything Has To Be In 3D"

Nintendo overlord and guru, Shigeru Miyamoto has commented on today's expectancy of graphics and says not everything has to be in 3D:

“I don’t think everything needs to be 3D, or that just because we’re seeing more 2D games now, that everything’s going to shift back to 2D."

“Instead, I think that what’s going on is that people are realizing the benefits of a 3D game, and at the same time, remembering what the benefits of 2D games were. When going 2D, you need the courage to not be so attached to visual appearance of the games and to really pursue the gameplay experience.”

That's all well and good Shiggy, but you brought us Mario 64, we crapped our pants at its awesome 3D-ness...
