Take a look at how much the SNES and the GC sold respectively.

There are two styles of Metroid games. Deal with it. Even Nintendo acknowledges this.

Doesn't make a difference. MP3 on the Wii sold worse thant the first with 5x the install base.

There's nothing to deal with. I have no problem with there being two styles of Metroid games. Like I said, they're the best FPS games I've ever played, tied with Bioshock. But that doesn't mean they're equal. There is a "better" style of Metroid, and that's the one that wasn't created to be a spin off trilogy of Samus' side adventures. And it has nothing to do with Super being 2D. A better Metroid could be made in 3D, but that can't be done with first person.

We all know the Wii was filled with casuals. SNES still had a big hardcore crowd.

Other M hopefully killed future third person installments. Third person Metroid is beyond stupid and breaks all the immersion.
