i have to agree with all of you guys. it can be in beautiful 3D high-definition, but if it doesn't hook me when i actually play it: NO. just look at cave story! that is one of the best games i have ever played, if not the best...8-bit. it didn't change a thing about gameplay value. honestly, i got the wii demo, (i have the full game in dsiware) and i set the graphics and music back to the "classic" setting.
Did Super mario bros Have a plot? no, not really. Epic graphics? (at the time, yes) not really. Was it the Top selling game of all time until wii sports? why, yes.
