What do you mean by 'non run and gun'? Does that exclude things like Mega Man and Metroid, or did you mean something else?

I'm assuming it excludes Contra, Metal Slug, and the like.

Non run and gun? Well, that throws Cave Story, Super Metroid, and Kid Icarus (NES) out the window...

EDIT: Not to mention Mega Man.

Well, if I had to make a list...

1. NightSky
2. VVVVVV
3. BIT.TRIP Presents... Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien
4. Sonic 1/2/3/Knuckles, because I can't decide

And I'll count that as 5 because of the last one.

Sonic Colors I can understand because of the DS version, but what in Banjo Kazooie is 2D?

Donkey Kong Country 2 (SNES)
Super Mario World (SNES/GBA)
Wario Land 4
Kirby Super Star (SNES/DS)

Donkey Kong Country Returns
Super Mario Bros 3 (All Stars version)
Sonic CD
Warioland - Shake Dimension
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg

(Tried to avoid having all old games and I don't count Castlevania as a platformer - if it was only the platforming bits I don't think I would like it very much).
