Yep that sounds like Nintendo; suck the dick of a system that doesn't need help and screw over the Wii U yet again. |
The key is that Metroid on Wii U would be expensive, and doing it in 2D would be one of those "games nobody asked for," basically.
Other M showed that Metroid is a hard sell on consoles in a certain respect (having absolutely nothing to do with "Authorization", the story, or any of Sakamoto's shenanigans): Metroid games are too short to really demand a console experience any more, unless you make them a more sedately-paced First Person Adventure like the Prime games. So it's an issue of niche, expense, and possible sales. Even if Wii U was selling gangbusters, i'd still say a 3DS game would make more sense in terms of Metroid's core design.

What? Other M did not sell well because it was a very mediocre game. Most Metroid fans hated it and even some non Metroid fans believe the game has problems . If the Metroid franchised is tailored more towards the Western audience then it does have a chance of selling very well. Sadly, I doubt Nintendos pride will allow them to ditch their Japanese audience.
