I don't understand why so many of you say DK stomped Metroid.
DK was non-existant on NES and didn't become popular, again considering original arcade, until DKC. By then Metroid had a very successful Metroid and even better Super Metroid.
After DKC and DKC2 what else has ever been good? Nothing, and they weren't as good as Super Metroid. They sold more, but, that has more to do with the type of game than the game itself.
Then you have the Prime series which is phenomenal. It doesn't sell as well as pure FPS because most of that crowd just are not smart enough gamers to figure out the puzzles. They can only run and gun through simple paths that only require basic memorization and quick reactions. Where as Metroid Prime also requires a decent level of problem solving and patience.
This is why Zelda 3D games are more popular. They guide you/hold your hand more than the Prime games. Zelda is closer to an pure TPS than Metroid is to a FPS.
Other M is going to be that massive resurgent Metroid that NSMBWii is to Mario.
