Metroid suffers from the metroid curse - that is every metroid game (except Metroid Prime) doesn't sell well because of timing and circumstances, etc. etc.

Mario is for everyone. Mario has many, many genres. Mario is a household name. Sadly, Samus isn't.

Ya thats true, but it's still sad that a great franchise like metroid can't even beat out some random sport spin off.

I agree - Metroid Prime is my absolute favourite franchise and I wish more people could have experienced it. Metroid games are great.

Ya tell me about it. I still remember when my cousins would come over and we both decided to play split screen on prime 2 on the gc. It was just tons of fun.
