The great thing about Nintendo franchises is its heavy focus on gameplay more than any other. Other M was a great game but it being story-driven coupled with strictly limited controls gave it niche qualities even more so than the Metroid franchise already is; Controls are an integral part of gameplay.

Legend of Zelda's story is a given, while Metroid's story is readily available only if sought out (Scanning).

I enjoyed Other M for its different appeal. I, however, felt a little resentful towards Nintendo in their consideration of the Prime series as not being part of the canon. I may just be reading too much into it, though.
Either way, the best we could hope for, if the series have what it takes, is a split in the series similar to how Mario is now: 2D and 3D.

lefty, if by in the canon you mean related to the established story of metroid, you may be misunderstanding. The metroid prime series takes place directly after the original metroid, but before metroid 2 for gameboy, and well before super metroid. And other m is a sequel to super metroid. taking place between super metroid and metroid fusion. If that's not what you meant... my bad.

I'm talking about this interview, when Yoshio Sakamoto said:

"The games that I've been involved with in the Metroid series have been on the NES, GameBoy, Super NES and the GBA. I actually didn't have a lot of input on the Prime series. But when they're doing with Other M here, it's not so much a different universe, it's just a different part of the story. You can't say that there's no relation here; it's probably best to think of them as being in parallel in this world."

It's not official by no means, and it was only my own interpretation.
