I'm feeling the opposite. Cute scenes are okay for RPGs, but Metroid is about explration. Every Metroid game I played that had those just got in the way.
Cut scenes are not more content in Metroid. It's just a way to try to slap a movie into Metroid.
And that isn't from anyone else, in case you ask. That's how I feel abou it.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
