Why can't a 3D game be your favorite game ever?

I was recently having lunch with some friends and someone asked what our favorite games were.
I said Sonic The Hedgehog(Former Sega Fanboy), another said Super Mario Bros., then someone said TimeSplitters Future Perfect.
I didnt, but many other people grilled him about it. The fact that he didnt love an old 2D game.
So, why is it so bad to have a 3D game as you favorite game ever?
I mean, whats the problem?

I think he was grilled because loving best a game that isn't vintage would be, to their mind, some sort of sign that he's not a veteran gamer, or something.
I maintain that the best game ever is Super Mario Bros. 3, but my personal fav is, and shall always be, Tetris. I guess that makes me super hardcore, veteran, and a real gamer. Maybe?
So?
For example, my favorite games are Mario Galaxy and the original Perfect Dark, and Donkey Kong Country 2. Only one of those is 2D.
Future Perfect is *SO* much fun, tell your friend that he has a supporter.
The government invented the 3rd dimension so they can tighten their iron grip around your throat. I was there when it happened, man, when they unveiled the 3rd dimension! And I was like "Oh my God, dude, oh my God. The government made a new dimension. Let's go smoke some joints."
I love tetris. It came very close to number 1 game of all time. But it's number 2. But very close.
What version did you play?
That special kind of dumb you usually only find on internet forums.
Okay. Those joints you made? Where you smoking them while typing your reply?
You know like I'll be all "Shit I love the Goonies that movie got me through grade two" and then what few kids have gone through the effort of finding and watching it today will respond "No it sucks Harry Potter is the best and you're ugly and old"
Your friends are ugly and old, gramps.
They free our minds from the chains of American fascism, man.
Name a version and I played it.
And if I didn't, I want to.
I really like the Tetris Party on Wii right now. It has hold, forgiving spin but not infinite, WiFi battles 1-on-1, it has Korobeyniki, Katyusha and Kalinka. Only flaw is that opponents don't have the same block lineup, which bothers me. Otherwise, it'd be the perfect Tetris fighting game.
I also love Tetris Battle Gaiden on SNES. Again, it's almost perfect for serious competition, except you can't both choose the same character in multiplayer. I do love that both players share the same NEXT block lineup, so it's not just a matter of speed, but also timing.
Much better than "2D" or "3D" games.
NOW GET OFF MY DAMN LAWN!

Okay...okay...I need you to NOT smoke those.
I wonder what the Spider-Man games will play like in 2015...
OP I advise you HIT your friends WITH HAMMER
"Antihippy", I know your kind. You're just a drone, man! The government looks at you like an ant, toiling away in its little farm, dude! They don't care about you, man. The 4th dimension exists only to imprison you.
You will still have to use a Controller or a silly Wii stick.
Maybe in 2100 you will play games in a silly VR world simulator Box.
Why? His posts are the best thing in this thread. Also, it's usually a good idea to preview your post if you try to quote edit.
Also, it's hard to make a 3D game that continues to look good years after it's come out. Yoshi's Island is still gorgeous, but Mario 64 is an ugly mess, even though it was mindblowing it its day.

Also, what Speed Racer said. 3D games, for the most part, don't seem to age as well as 2D games. There's no real clipping or texture problems or pop-ins in 2D games.
And I grew up playing an Atari 2600.
You mean you have to use your hands? That's like a baby's toy!
I don't know. A lot of 2D games haven't aged well.
After inserting hammer A into Skull C...continuously...subject stopped moving.
Please advise: Do I insert friend into trashbag and then into river or do I call vinny?
Mr. Guder, say, Mr. Guder
Someday soon you may realize
you've blown your life just playing a game
where no one wins but everyone stays the same
The saaaaaaaammmmmmeeeeeeeeee
That being said, 3D does have the potential to be someone's favorite game. It all stems from what you have the fondest memories of. Old Schoolers will remember their youthful days most fondly, just like kids growing up now will. As such, most people > 20ish years old will have a higher tendancy to favor 2D games (as it was the game of choice in their "Golden Days" of gaming), just as kids growing up now will favor 3D games for the same reason.
I find that A Link to the Past aged better than Ocarina of Time.
A lot of 3D games haven't, either.
Yeah, that's not a really fair comparison, considering Yoshi's Island came out at the tail end of 2D game development, a year before the N64 released.
