It's one thing for a game to suck, but for both Other M and Federation Force to run so completely contrary to what made the franchise great suggests that Nintendo simply no longer knows what to do with it. It's been so long since Nintendo created anything in vein of classic Metroid that I simply no longer see any evidence that they even know how any more.

No evidence Nintendo knew how to make a shooter before Splatoon.  It's not hard to believe they know how.  It's harder to believe everyone who does just disappeared.  Also, they've made multiple non-Metroid Metroid spinoff before.  Hunters was only Metroid in name being extremely linear and shooting focused and then there was pinball.  Honestly, Federation Force isn't worth the uproar, it's just I'll timed and has a bland art style.

Hunters I will actually defend; it's no masterpiece but it at least looked and felt like Metroid. 

The thing with Metroid is its hallmarks are the polar opposite of modern Nintendo; it's dark, it's creepy, it has high end graphics, it's everything that current gen Nintendo typically shuns. At this point it's just so far outside of all that they represent that its just foreign to them.
