Well, let me put it better then. Metroid Prime consolidated itself in the last few years as the "way Metroid should be". A third person shooter Metroid won't recall the good times of Super Metroid and such. Instead, reviewers will say it ressembles Ninja Gaiden no matter what, and that Retro Studios is more important to Metroid than Bungie to Halo. The game will relatively flop (sell less than a million) giving a extra reason to gaming media to poke on. Like, "not even Nintendo franchises sell well anymore".
Super Mario Galaxy 2 will bring Yoshi back, oh, nice and good. But still Nintendo said it will be less story-oriented, so that's a reason for "casual" accusations. If there is anything worse than in SMG, even the smallest thing, the game will be bashed, and Nintendo will face accusations of "selling out" and not giving Wii owners "what they promised when they bought the console".
Zelda, well, I've said everything I had to say. We'll have to wait and see.
