3D is easier than pixel art is, thats why Street Fighter IV is 3D, among other reasons... Also theres many 2d video games out on the market today, i.e. Scott Pilrgrim VS The World: The Game. I also disagree with Megaman 9 and 10 (also these games are also on XBL and PSN just an FYI for you Yosh) being good examples, since a lot of sprites are recycled from previous installments, their art style isn't as much for the artistic direction as it is for marketing and raking in money, in my opinion. Anyway, I'll leave it at that I'm getting too off topic, once again Junkboy good job.
