Metroid is loved by many fans, but not so much by Nintendo.. And the rest of Japan.
While Metroid did get universall acclaim and some good sales in it's GCN days i'm sure it's at the bottom of Nintendo's "our most important games" list along with F-Zero and Star Fox. Real shame but the games never sold well.
I think Nintendo's true big three are Mario, Pokemon and Zelda.
