So..... Sakamoto wants metroid dead and Team Ninja, a non-Nintendo developer saved it?

Someone please fire Sakamoto

No, in the end what they meant was Sakamoto wanted 2D, Team Ninja wanted 3D, and they came to the weird 3D compromise we have today.

What makes you draw those conclusions?

Kotaku selectively translated it. He said "on-rails side-scrolling" which was probably itself ill-translated from the Japanese, just the sense that Samus would be stuck on a set path in a world rendered in 3D graphics, kinda like Kirby 64 or Klonoa
