Well I think they should put a " This game was inspired by the Smash Bros series" reference in the game. I think most of yall here would agree.

Just so long as all the games featuring FPS mechanics put "Inspired by Wolfenstein 3D" in the game, but I did not find that in Metroid Prime...

I'm all for this game's existence, but this is just not true. 

When Metroid came out everyone mentioned/praised how different it was from other FPSs. It was game of the year for a lot of publications (including the (at the time) almight EGM because of that.)

When this game was revealed, everyone and their mother are saying it's incredibly similar to SSB. But they're also saying it's good!

It's a different situation and you know it. I don't think Nintendo should sue or something like that, but the developer took a completely different path than Retro here.

My point was that just because something draws inspiration from something else (All the basic mechanics in Metroid Prime weren't original, it drew inspiration from other stuff, just as everything does) doesn't mean you have to give a shout out within your game.

Outside of the game, yes. Like with Metroid and it's ton of similarities to the Alien franchise. It was mentioned outside of the game, but within the game I believe there is no direct shout out.
