Another Metroid game taking place on a spaceship? No, thanks.

In fairness, this wouldn't have been so bad in 2004.

It would still have been a step back. An idea like that one should be used for a new IP.

I changed my mind.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with playing around with scenarios in existing IPs. I mean, yes, it would make a strong new IP (maybe), but it would also be fine if it was a Metroid game. High-quality experimentation in Nintendo's established franchises often has great results (Majora's Mask).

Much as scenario experimentation has resulted in tremendous character development in that same franchise (namely Spirit Tracks)

Though if anything, "another Metroid on a spaceship" would've been worse in 04, as that would've been 2 years after Metroid Fusion, and not 8

Plus I'm pretty sure technology would've just relegated us to dingy, gunmetal gray corridors. Some of the stuff on the doc sounds interesting, but if they wanted to do System Shock they should've just made a new IP.
