My background is very similar to you. Played lots of Street Fighter and Mario as a kid.
Now that I am older I still love Mario. My wife and I preferred the 2d platformers but still enjoy the 3d ones. To me most of them are more like adventure games. I am only lukewarm on Zelda, but love RPGs for their superior depth. The genre we buy most is party games as we are always playing the gamecube/wii/xbox with friends.
I can't stand first person shooters. Even on a widescreen tv they make me feel like I have blinders on and the perspective seems entirely unrealistic. I do like some adult genres like horror particularly Resident Evil and SIlent Hill games,
Final* Word on Game Delays:
The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.
Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.
Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.
