Really? Limbo and Rayman Origins immediately spring to mind. I can't think of a modern 2D platformer that didn't have run as the only default movement or as the fastest movement possible using only the left analogue stick. I can't think of a recent 2D platformer that had a run button.
Well, actually, Mark of the Ninja had a button for running but that was more like the sneak function in Abe where running drew attention whilst the default movement was silent.
Also, this is what OWI has said about the control scheme.
