In my experience, games like F-Zero and Metroid are incredibly overrated. They're just not fun or satisfying. They're Nintendo's worst b-series games.
Maybe if they made Metroid more like Mass Effect and F-Zero more like Mario Kart, they would be much better. Give Metroid an actual story, don't make it first person, and stop doing boring Doom/Quake style FPS dungeon crawls, THEN Metroid will be a good game.

if you're implying that Metroid doesn't really have a 'story' then you either haven't actually played the games or just weren't paying attention while you were. a lot of the 'story' comes from collecting notes and reading technologial crap with your scanner. you have to PUT together the story on your own, its not spoonfed. In fact that's one thing that makes the Metroid series so great, its storytelling matches perfectly with its dark and eeiry mood. a game in its tone would seem strange if it was like super strongly narrated and told
and the F-Zero series is one of the best racing franchises ever. I don't know if you've played F-Zero GX or not but its probably the best racing game in the last decade and a half imo. tons of content, tons of customizable features for your vehicle, a great story mode, etc.
to suggest that F-Zero should be more like Mario Kart is one of the silliest things I've ever heard- the games are not AT ALL alike. one, despite retaining a comic-book cartoon esque vibe, is a SERIOUS racer, and the other is a party-game aimed at kids. that suggestion would be akin to saying that Gran Turismo should be more like Mario Kart. its absurd
