It can't be Tropical Freeze because I remember the internet completely bitching about its very existence when it was revealed and the internet is never wrong.

Gamers were disappointed that the first HD game from the makers of Metroid Prime wasn't something more epic and ambitious. That is still a legitimate complaint even if Tropical Freeze turned out to be a good game.

I'm afraid I can't agree. That mentality assumes that 2D platformers are somehow not as worthy of praise or demanding of craftsmanship as other genres. I wholly reject that assertion. A new Metroid Prime game would not be any more ambitious as Tropical Freeze was, it would simply cater to a more vocal and demanding base.
