I'm a huge Ninja Gaiden fan owning every game in the series minus the handheld ones (hell I won Ninja Gaiden, Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden Sigma - which is really sad) but I wouldn't compare it to Metroid at all in the slightest.
As for the new Mario games, I simply can't be bothered to play them. I believe Sega's problem is that instead of adding loads of crazy crap they should actually fix everything what is wrong with the games. If the game is bad, don't just add a jet-pack and a sword and a talking pie to the next one. That won't fix anything, you'll just end up with another crap game but this one will have a jet-pack, a sword and a talking pie.
I've been a Nintendo kid since the NES, I have boxes of Mario collectable crap under my bed but I simply don't care about Nintendo now days. Ever since the N64 I've just felt as if they've pushed old fans further and further away (for those who still love Nintendo, good for you). Every Zelda game feels like one I've already played, every Star Fox game makes me just want to set the N64 or SNES back up and every Mario game just reminds me how good Yoshi's Island was and how every Mario game brought something new instead of just trying to recreate the games of old. I'd rather play God of War and see what happens to Kratos at the end of it all, play through Uncharted 2 and be generally excited with the action, play horde of Gears of War 2 and have a gripping experience with a friend as we narrowly escape death. Nintendo games just don't excite me any more. And when they do, such as No More Heroes, that Demon Blade game I can't spell and Prime 3, I'm simply to lazy to dust the brush off the Wii and wish they were on something that didn't look ass on a HDTV and didn't use motion controls.
