Nintendo's never really made many of these types of games. Even Metroid Prime, I wouldn't really call "grim" or "ambitious". Where it excels is level design and atmosphere. |
A Metroid reboot for today's market would have to be significantly darker and more visually polished than XCX. It would need high end graphics, (or at least, as high end as the platform allows for) and a more serious tone.
Prime is considerably more sombre than XCX; there is no comic relief, no bubbly characters, no cheesy moments.
