Sales figures show that USA is the main market for both 2D and 3D Metroid.
Japan ONLY likes 2D Metroid.
Europe is not too hot on either.
Does a 2D Metroid stand a better chance of getting made?
It does not require that much development resources and could potentially sell quite good in both Japan and USA.
The indie game market (Axiom Verge, AM2R) seems to show a demand for 2D.
EDIT: When I play No Man's Sky I imagine it like a Metroid 3D game.
It would be enough with a dozen planets/moons and a little more detailed environments and a lot of things to explore on and off the planets.
