Well what i was thinking about was the mainstream GAMER, not the mainstream audience. Mario, Halo, GTA will be remembered by those that arent even gamers. Those franchises are beyond gamers, and are part of the popular culture now. Games like Gears, God of War, Assassins Creed, and, to a lesser extent, Zelda are all popular GAMER games, franchises well known to your average gamer, but not so to your average person.
The Metroid series has never sold to the mainstream gamer, and im wondering if the newfound focus on cinematics and story will make it more appealing to that market.
