Game immersion is mostly if not all about gameplay.

Not really, graphics, music, storyline all have huge impacts when it comes to immersion.

The original Super Mario Bros. has awesome gameplay but it is totally unimmersive compared to Super Mario 3D World.

Back in 83? Everybody wanted to save a princess, music was top notch and catchy, graphics was one of the best.
