I hate to say it, but maybe Metroid needs to stay in cryofreeze.

Nintendo has no idea what to do with it. First the catastrophe that was Other M, then a portable Chibi spinoff where you play as the grunts. It's been nearly a decade now since the last Metroid game that wasn't a travesty.

The problem is that the very nature of franchise itself (a dark sci-fi adventure inspired by the movie Alien) is totally foreign to modern Nintendo, which only seems to know how to make light hearted cotton candy. The Nintendo of today just doesn't have the balls to make the gritty mature reboot that the franchise is screaming out for.
