Hmmm Bryan, certainly the maze aspect and the weaponry would be doable in a 3D engine, but I think the amount of full 3D jumping to ledges above and below your character would take a more complex interface than something shades style, ---- though if tomb hunter Ii is going to have as much platforming in as tomb rader, it's quite possible we'll get such an interface in the genesis engine, and thus something like metroid prime in 3D might be possible.
for 2D though, I'd love to see a more freeform side scroller, --- with jumping to ledges at different hights above and below your character, not just using ropes to travel vertically, ---- then perhaps 2d classic metroid would be possible as well. but again, I think we'll have to see what Tom's got up his sleve here. Certainly Montizuma's Mota has featured more vertical movement in audio 2D than anything thus far, ---- so we're deffinately moving in the right direction I believe, but we're a long way from the space jump boots and spiderball as yet.
