I'm not gonna give up on Metroid... I actually do want another Metroid.

I donno. The latest Amiibo from Breath of the Wild include two Link action poses and a scary looking Guardian. I think Nintendo could do well with Samus, Ridley, and Metroid Amiibo without changing the overall look of those characters/creatures.

That said, Amiibo can suck it.

Metroid isn't Legend of Zelda, though, and only has a fraction of the selling power.  While there will be multiple Samus Amiibo, just as with Link. there is also Zelda herself, semi-cute monsters, and you can count on some Amiibo-able side characters.  

I won't say that Nintendo's games will be dictated by Amiibo but it will certainly be a consideration during planning stages.  Major revenue streams are seldom after-thoughts.

God forbid. If Nintendo starts retrofitting its long-established series to make more money off Amiibo, then it will have truly lost its way.

I just want to go back to a time when you paid for your game upfront and that was the end of it until the sequel or expansion pack came out. No weapons and maps tucked behind a paywall. No cosmetic items and difficulty modes trapped in a plastic figure.

Le sigh.
