It's Nintendo, they specialize in doing what the opposite of what their fans want.

Besides, I honestly don't think they know what to do with Metroid any more. The series represents everything modern Nintendo shies away from; it's dark, mature, and traditionally both technologically and conceptually ambitious. The Nintendo of today doesn't seem to have the guts to make the grim, gorgeous reboot the series is screaming out for.

Everything this.  Nintendo has lost their ambition and sense of artistry.

Well, that's because the franchise just doesn't sell shit... So Nintendo is going to give up on it someday, like they did immediately after Super Metroid. The same thing almost happened with Fire Emblem until Awakening saved the series.

Super Metroid is one of the best games of all time but it didn't even come close to the sales of Super Mario World or Link to the Past. After Super being a commercial failure the franchise was pretty much dead, it's thanks to Miyamoto that we got Metroid Prime, who was the only one who saw the potential of a FPS Metroid game and revived the series with Retro Studios.

Nintendo can release a bad or controversial Mario, Pokemon or even Zelda game and they would quickly recover from it because these game have a strong fanbase (don't even start with Pokemon) and they actually print money.

The same can not be said for Metroid.
