Tetris defeats the overall #1 seed to advance to the Semifinals!

I dismissed it for much less of a reason than "It's Metroid, but an FPS!" I don't like the game quite simply. I was just making an observation(maybe some people disagree?) that most of the praise I see of the game expresses little more than that. They talk about how amazing it is that Nintendo managed to translate a Metroid game to the FPS format and how they are surprised it worked etc.
