They are?! O.O I didn't know this, so...it's kinda, the old AO and AE are already 2.5D?
Unless you count the background platforms as a half-dimension, they're not 2.5D. To use Wil's terminology, they're non-parallaxing flat, layered planes. But that's fine, as the background never moves relative to the camera/screen, so parallaxing isn't needed. In theory, they could re-render everything higher res and use UbiArt, but that would probably look shit.
