Back in the 8-bit days, I loved the story scenes. Sometimes it was the best chance for the programmers to show off what cool graphics they could make with limited resources. The NES Ninja Gai Den series was particularly impressive. But now that they can do pretty much anything with CGI, it's no longer impressive. And lets face it, very few of these stories are well-written enough to compete with actual movies. When I want to watch a movie, I'll watch a movie. But when I want to play a game, just let me play the game.
I'd love to see Samus Aran. Of course, Wreck-It Ralph is more likely to make arcade game references than console ones, so that's probably out. Eh, forget Ralph, I just want someone to make a Metroid movie.

I'm not a hardcore gamer and I have nothing to prove to anyone. I'll play whatever I find most fun, which is probably casual.

I love it. I wish Nintendo would get the same idea on it's own, and release a whole series of gender-swapped classics.

I spent a significant portion of my high school years in furious debate, defending the SNES's honor from Genesis lovers.

Bombs only is a bit boring, and I lost every match I played... but that was still fun.

The ones out so far, meh. But Capcom had a lot of cool arcade games back then, so they probably will eventually release a few I'm interested in.
