It's interesting that so many people here are on pretty much the same page. I for one don't care if Metroid's popularity grows, as long as Nintendo/Retro are happy enough with the sales to keep making the games. Not every cyclist starts the Tour de France to win, some start just to finish. In much the same way i don't think all developers make a game expecting it to have GTA-like sales.

Metroid isn't really a mainstream game and i'm against any change that is made purely for the purpose of making it so (some might argue this was done to some extent in Prime 3). I'm all for innovation or trying to bring the series in a new direction as long as it doesn't interfere too much with what makes Metroid a great franchise. If changes made happen to make it more popular too, then that's fine by me.
