Here's your 2D gaming machine, anon. You can even play them on the big screen with an accessory.
See, Nintendo noticed there were barely any 2D games for the N64 and reserved them for their handheld, where those kinds of games made more sense. The GC wasn't even supposed to have a dpad originally.
Nintendo didn't forget about 2D, they just moved it to the other console you're expected to also have at the time.
