I've never played Hunters as I don't consider it a Metroid game.
Oh and are you familiar with the phraze "exceptions that prove the rule"? I know there are some kids out there with crazy skills.
The reason why Metroid is more niche is because it doesn't hold your hand. I've played games with little kids and I had to help them a lot. That's why I prefer games like Mario Kart with them, even if they suck they can still have fun.
I also know how much I struggled with games when I was a little kid and nowadays I consider those games easy.

Too bad we're not going by what you consider is a Metroid game, under what you're saying I was kid with crazy skills as is my nephew, playing through Metroid games is not that hard to play through even for kids unless you're thinking about 100% speedruns.
Metroid is niche because the concept is based on a number of things rather then one, rather then be spectacular at one thing it's adequate in a number of things that come together to make up the game so ends up being an acquired taste as it takes time to get into, this is why a number of kids won't get into the games as the appeal won't hit a person straight away. Games like Dark Souls don't hold your hand either but easily outsell Metroid.

Because they're on multiple consoles with bigger userbases with older demographics. -,-'
Hunters' campaign is just a generic shooter from what I've seen on youtube.
And no, that's not why Metroid is niche. 3D Mario games have levels based on all kinds of themes, gimmicks and what not.
