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.


It outsold Metroid games on PS3 alone.

The campaign is is pretty much like any other Prime game, the are just more pirates and such making it more shooter like.

3D Mario retains it's core mechanical focus, platforming, regardless of what gimmick is employed whether gravity, boss fights and so on. The result is that if you like platforming you'll like the games regardless of what gimmick they employ as that what 3D Mario is about, platforming.

Metroid on the other hand doesn't do one thing in a brilliant fashion it does loads of things in a decent fashion to execute the concept of a lone bounty hunter on missions exploring.

The best selling Dark Souls game sold just under 2M... Less than Prime 1 on the GC and Metroid on the NES, about the same as Prime 3 and more than Prime 2 on the GC. Bravo I guess?

Metroid does exploration in a brilliant fashion... Which is its core vfocus. And that's the reason why Other M and Hunters aren't real Metroid games.
