I've never understood the notion that 2D games are a regression. I'd definitely appreciate another overhead game considering The Minish Cap and A Link to the Past are two of my favorite installments.
2D games are a realm for experimentation and innovation. As Curmudgeon noted, 2D games are experiencing a renaissance on downloadable platforms. These are highly stylized adventures like Limbo or more streamlined revivals such classic sidescroller Castlevania.
Nintendo had the right idea with Mario not its action-adventure series including Zelda and Metroid. Altering between 2D and 3D games is bound to keep the franchise fresh. Since development periods are longer for 3D titles, 2D games could occupy the long wait period.
