There was a 3D Megaman platformer. It was called Megaman Legends and it got a sequel, but for some reason they never made a third one.

Meanwhile... If you like the gameplay of Ratchet & Clank why not just play that? I like JRPGs but I'm not upset that Psychonauts isn't a JRPG, for example...

I'm coming at this from the perspective of a Sonic the Hedgehog fan. The Genesis/Mega Drive platformers were peak. The 3D games were... well, some of them were okay, but all the money and effort that was poured into them meant that for a long time, Sega wasn't making the kind of game I actually found fun. The problem with changing up the entire style of the game you make is that you'll inevitably leave fans behind.
