Clearly, some games should have never left the second dimension.

Every once in a while, video game companies take a gamble with their popular franchises, transitioning them from 2-D to 3-D. Sometimes it works, like with several of Nintendo's franchises (Mario, Zelda, Metroid). Other times, it's a complete disaster. For this week's Retro Rewind, we present several games that would've been better off staying out of the third dimension.

the new castlevania may turn out good this time since hideo kojima is working on it but after wathin the gameplay it looks like the story has nothin to do what so ever with the past games and dracula doesnt even seem to be in it unless they didnt show him but then again it is kojima

hey, that comment about the so-called "boring" exploration levels in SA1 and SA2 kinda hurt. those levels were my favorite in the game, and i got all A ranks on them! Robert Workman just needs to SHUT UP!
