More Media Adaptations for Nintendo IPs?
Toad:
They're interactive! You can't interact with the characters in the TV show without finding the actors. That would be creepy.
BP:
When I'm watching a really good movie, I find myself thinking "wow! I wish I could be at this place/could be doing these things/could be that person!"
When I'm playing a really good game I pretty much am never thinking "gee I wish someone else would do all this so i could watch instead"
There's things each medium can do better than the other, they're two very different beasts. I say video games are better because they have way more potential and are inherently more immersive, but besides that, Nintendo doesn't have any stories worth telling in film, or at least any that would be better watched than played. Nintendo understands that in a game, the game part comes first. They understand everything else should exist to serve the gameplay. They make the game, and give it a story only because the story serves the game. I don't think I've ever played a Nintendo game where the gameplay was deliberately made worse in order to accomodate the story.
I haven't played Metroid: Other M.

Eh. Some people prefer the content within the game itself. The gameplay is secondary to them.
I guess I just want another Super Mario Adventures. I mean, considering what Archie Comics have done for Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man...
BP:
Those people shouldn't play games and are holding the medium back.
The Chef:
Those people picked the wrong form of entertainment to be a fan of.
