I think pretty much everyone agrees:
The gameplay/graphics/visuals in this game are amazing and unlike any game before or after it.
The problem is the story. And yes, Nintendo fans almost by definition favor gameplay over story...
But that doesn't mean we like "bad story." That's actually why we prefer gameplay to story...game makers usually screw up story. It's true. The plots are usually derivative at best and far-fetched impossibilities at worst.
I certainly would be all for a retelling of the Metroid, Zero Mission, Super Metroid games in this graphic/gameplay style. It would in effect create three distinct types of Metroid experiences: 2D, 2.5D, and 3D. No complaints from me there.
