Which transition to 3D was the best? - Mario, Zelda or Metroid?

Why is Metroid here? That 3DS game is just a spinoff >>

? Why wouldn't it be?

He means because Federation Force is the first true 3D Metroid game. As in, you know, the 3DS is 3D and stuff.

Personally, I think Metroid made the best transition because it's the one that most kept it's essence. 3D Zeldas and 2D Zeldas are overall quite different in gameplay for each other - Mario, well never mind, 3D and 2D are basically two different franchises.

Metroid, though... it just retains the same feel and gameplay. I think nowadays when people look forward to a Zelda or Mario game, they're usually expecting a 3D game, while with Metroid it could be either 2D or 3D, as they're both equally worthy. Which I guess can also be an argument for saying Metroid made the worst transition, but I really don't mean it that way.

I would it's actually that, at this point, any Metroid game would do. The drought is real.
