I could see there being decent legs to a Fire Emblem anime. Probably be better off doing original stories than adapting the games but I think the broad strokes of things could carry a show pretty well if you played your cards right.
Though I'm not entirely sure how you'd juggle how it's pretty much a rule in Fire Emblem that the main plot is always way less interesting than the random asides of the characters shooting the shit.

I think they’d be crazy getting into this project if a potential Smash Bros. movie ala the MCU wasn’t a potential end goal.

They have done a Fire Emblem anime before a bajillion years ago about Marth. Never seen it, though, so I can't comment on the quality. I do think you could do anime about some of the Fire Emblem games, some of the plots are plenty open to being fleshed out more, especially since they don't have to worry about players wanting to play the damn game, already, but yeah, it may be best to go with an original plot.

problem with a Metroid film is a problem with a lot of Metroid representation in other things... Metroid is a story of one person alone in space... that's pretty much it. Everything about the story is a very Video Game story. Basically to make a Metroid movie you'd pretty much need to change thing like crazy to adapt it into the new medium. There could be an potential compromise of Samus somewhat interacting with an AI, perhaps one loosely inspired by the one in Fusion. Enough to provide the key exposition at points and give gradual insights into her character, but still allowing a tone of isolation for the film proper. Use the her gradual discovery of the Metroid infestation to tell the rest of the story and with the right script it might work. Eh, I'm just expecting Hollywood to just make cartoon "Alien" with a "Metroid" coat of paint.

I also think, if this movie is done well and does well, Donkey Kong Country could be an amazing spin-off series.

Considering what seems to have been a vigorous process involving Nintendo and Illumination, I very much reckon if someone pitched to Shigsy they’d do that, said executive would have more lashes on his back then Cody during the MJF feud.

I'm imagining Miyamoto sending the company a Master Sword with a note, like Miyazaki and his "No Cuts" katana.

Metroid wears its Alien inspiration on its sleeve. I don't think it'd be too difficult to make a series or movie based on it. You could always incorporate the manga storyline about Samus' adolescent and early adulthood years with the Chozo and the Federation as opposed to a straight adaptation of the game.
Also the first Die Hard could be a good example for a Metroid movie. It literally has a metroidvania structure lol.

Wait, wait. I'm worried what you just heard was, "Give me a lot of bananas." What I said was, "Give me all the bananas you have." Do you understand?

That being said, the song’s pretty dope.

Normally, I don't really notice this type of thing, but the sheer lack of effort in giving Donkey Kong any sort of voice other than the actor's regular one just struck out at me and not in a good way. in fairness, it's kinda hard to pin down what Donkey Kong's speaking voice would be like since most of the time in the games, he's just grunting and one of the only things he's had a speaking role in was that awful CG cartoon from the 90s. Honestly, if you asked me several years ago what Donkey Kong would sound like with a human voice, I would have probably said "exactly like Seth Rogen."

The movie is reportedly going to be 1h32m, so just about 90 minutes.
