What's next? First Person Zelda? Real time Pokémon rpg? First person Mario? 2D Splatoon game?
Third person shooters are in? Good thing that Metroid isn't a shooter. And FPS completely dominate third person shooters anyway, so according to your logic Metroid needs to remain first person.
Fusion has one of the best stories in the franchise, just because you hate it doesn't mean jack shit really. Metroid's canon is hardly a mess if you ignore Other M. The only "problem" is Ridley that constantly returns when he's killed, but I wouldn't mind if they killed him off for good, he's overrated. He adds nothing to the Metroid franchise. Let's keep returning villains for franchises that have non-sensical stories (Mario, Kirby).
Even Nintendo acknowledged that there are two types of Metroid games that need to be taken care off. Yeah, two, not three. I guess now you're going to ignore Nintendo's statements because it suits you? You were pretty sure Nintendo was going digital only based on a patent issued by them.
If Metroid wants to become more mainstream it's probably going to need online multiplayer. I'm fine with that as long as it doesn't come at the cost of the SP.

You said that Metroid's roots are 2D side scrolling.
You said that Mario's roots are 2D side scrolling. And this series did a succesful jump to 3D third person.
But then, you said that it's ok for Mario to get from 2D to 3D third person. But it's not for Metroid, because... nothing.
Some of the things you said in this thread don't make an ounce of sense.

Because Mario and Metroid are two totally different genres: one is a game with many shooter elements while another is a platformer. How many good first person platformers have you played? Precisely.
It's common sense that Metroid went first person and Mario went third person. Miyamoto knew this and he was a key figure in both franchises' jump to 3D.
