Hate most new games that are Coming Soon?

Hi ya,
I dont post much but lurk around a lot. I hear that the average age of Gamers is 30, and I would like to believe it.
However, Ive noticed a trend in my gaming preference that seems to be different than that of most modern games. I come here looking to see if anyone else is in the same boat as me.
Ok, first thing first...
I truly Hate and despise First Person Shooters (FPS.) Other than the allure of playing with your friends, I dont see the appeal of them. Ive tried them, had some fun killing some friends in some, but after everyone leaves the game for RL stuff (kids, jobs, wife, etc) Im looking for something fun to play.
I like 2d side scroll platformers! Mario, Sonic, Metroid (Super Metroid! /drool) I like and can play these games alot, but they are frankly old, and I dont see anything like them coming out. These games were made on old technology and the graphics reflect that. With modern consoles/PCs we should be able to push Gorgeous sprites/textures etc and make some innovative games. However I dont see ANYONE developing games of old anymore. Well that is not exactly true, Ive seen a couple good looking games on the NintendoDS (dont own one yet,) is all my hope for new Good games dwindle down to a handheld system? :cry:
hmm.. what else... Oh!
I like RPGs... but... i wana play my RPGs not watch them... I remember back in the day playing FF for the Nes and loving it, but hating how hard it was, I spent a lot of time getting my chars what they needed and exploring the land, and when I finally overcomed that dungeon/boss what a trill it was.... Fast Forward to Now... FF12, now while gorgeous and some very deep storyline.... I keep falling asleep during the game... everytime I turn around Im watching the story unfold other than playing it... Same for other Final Fantasys on the PS2. Ok, nother RPG, Oblivion, this game even won like umpteen million online game websites awards its not funny. This game lets you customize you char/class and really let loose in a virtual world (yea!) its all done in a FPS interface (boo!) Even tho this is a RPG its made to play/resemble like a FPS? If i wanted to play a FPS i would play a FPS...
MMOs... Ive tried them. Ive loved them. Ive hated them... I want my life back... Next ....
Ive thought about getting a Next Gen console but all i see are FPS, FPS, FPS....
Is there anyone out there with similar tastes as me? Am I forced to play old games forever? Is there no one out there making games new platformers? Is the future all FPS?
Anyone got any Ideas, Suggestions or Comments?
Later!

I agree. 2D side scrolling platformers are the best! They still come out with some for the GBA, so I guess you're right out about the handheld system thing.
I think XBLA is our best chances of getting most of these games again.
Dartful Dodger:
I agree about not having any interest in the next gen(newest) console systems. All the games play the same.
I like FPS, but I wait for a game to go under 20 bucks before buying it.
Those excuses are nice, but the reality is your old and life is more important.
AtomSmasher:
Viewtiful Joe was a great platformer game released on the PS2 and Gamecube a few years ago. If you never tried it, then I highly recommend picking up a copy.
shardian:
There are plenty of old games to go around. ;D Who cares about new games.
As to RPG's that are fun and exciting, try out Kingdom Hearts. I frikkin love that game - still haven't got around to part II yet.
Right now, I am playing Resident Evil 4 with the wife. That game is great.
