I know it's technically a 3D game. And I have seen how you move through the levels, which is definitely in 3D, but there seems to be a 2D feel to it, like in super smash bros. games. I just mean that they did throwback a bit to the older metroid games, with this one. Which is what they did with New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Also, I know that technically Donkey Kong Country Returns is 3D too, or built that way, but it definitely has a 2D feel to it for the most part.
