...people want 3D now, and OWI might not even get enough money from any new 2D games, but I'd like it as much as you do.

I don't think Lorne Lanning would focus on 2D due to the fact that he is trying to reach a wider audience. However I don't think 2D will be completely ignored, as long as their are people who enjoy playing 2D games.
As far as I know the main three systems (Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3) all have online features allowing you to download old games, many of which are 2D.
New Super Mario Bros. had 3D graphics that took place in a side-scrolling 2D world, this game sold 9.5 million copies. Poke'mon Diamond/Pearl has moved up to 3D graphics yet the world is really still 2D, this game sold 6.91 million copies.
Their is obviously people who enjoy games with 2D play.
Nintendo has been known for being innovative, I wouldn't be surprised to find 2D-esque Oddworld games on the Wii or DS.
We will just have to wait and see.
