Free Nintendo Wii space is becoming a precious commodity at my home, but I soldier on.  I've moved as many save files of games that I'm not actively playing to the SD card and I've cut back on Virtual Console purchases to ensure that when something amazing from the world of WiiWare appears, I won't have to make space and decide which game data lives and which game data dies.

As I've said previously, this is a fantastic time to be a fan of 2D gaming thanks to recent releases such as Wario Land: Shake It!, Mega Man 9, Kirby Super Star Ultra, and now, this week, Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia.  Why, all of this 2D joy reminds me of the old days when 2D wasn't so much an option as a rule.  Now I love 3D as much as the next gamer, but most of the time, for me, 2D is where it's at.  How about you?  Do you prefer 2D games or 3D games?  And no, you can't claim your old Atari 2600 games as 1D.
