"He didn't consider" is not the same as "non-canon." The story of the Metroid Prime games has little impact on Metroid as a whole, aside from providing more background lore about the Chozo and the Space Pirates (and even then, the contradictions split if you consider the Zebesians to be a separate species from the Pirates seen in the Prime games). Similarly, Other M's story doesn't matter to the franchise except informing players of Fusion, where the "Federation is Evil!" thing kind of comes out of left field. Also Adam first shows up dead in a computer. Other M "fixes" that (or at least tries to)
So the game doesn't need replacing. All the franchise badly needs is its next "core" entry to get the ball rolling again.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
