You didn't ask for Metroid plus online, you asked for Metroid to be like Halo.

Metroid will never sell millions because it's not a mainstream game and online won't change that (look at Prime Hunters).

Kid Icarus Uprising didn't do anything right. They turned a Metroidvania game into a weird Japanese on-rails shooter with awkward controls.

Blame that for no C Stick in normal 3DS. Uprising rebooted the series after 25 years. That's a huge deal and if it was just a lame 2D thing like the nes/gb games then it would scream more like eshop than a 2012 game.

I recently finished 3D Classics Kid Icarus for the second time, and I must admit the only metroidvania stuff are the dungeons which are pretty repettitive as the moment you see certain things you know your going in the right direction. It was a bad metroidvania in that sense imo, but the highlight of the "just good" game were the boss battles and challenging platforming levels.

They designed the game while knowing that. I'd much rather see Kid Icarus turned into a Metroid/GoW combo game. Throw all the weird Japanese stuff out and focus on Greek mythology.
