I could care less if a game is 2D or 3D as long as they play well and it sure doesn't hurt if they look good too.
The move to 3D graphics and gameplay worked very well for games like Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Metal Gear. Some games though didn't need to be made from polygons to be good games. Phantom hourglass on DS is a game that plays very well but would have looked much better had it been hand drawn.
2D Metroid games have always been 2D hand drawn works along with the Castlevania games. These games are memorable in part because of the amazing artwork in them. To take a side-scrolling Metroid and turn it into a polygon based 2D sidescroller would make no sense. Looking at the fully 3D metroid games in the prime series though, the environments are gorgeous as well.
