I feel like more horror elements would be a good way to make a M rated Metroid. Gore kinda comes with that but I think it would be cool if they went all out with the alien influence

Yes, especially with the creepy visceral corridors like the Xenomorphs created. It helps that Samus is essentially Nintendo's answer to Lt. Ripley, and Ridley is named after Alien director Ridley Scott.

so the things with this is, i don't think alien gore will make it m-rated.  The more humans you involve the less special and alone samus feels.  That's why i wouldn't try to force an m rating.  I think, of the 3 choices, upping the sex appeal of xenoblade would be the easiest route.  But doing this would miss the point of having an m-rated title.  There's a certain feel that many m-rated titles have.  A certain freedom that "we don't care who plays this game" mantality that's somewhat liberating about it.  Knowing there's ideas not being held back from a story or character aspect.
