Making M-rated games isn't a sign of growing up, it's a sign of being juvenile. This idea is merely another path to create a mess like Other M. People who are attracted by an M-rating don't have the brains to handle Metroid, people who like Metroid don't want a dumbed down game.

Being M-rated doesn't mean it's going to be dumbed down trash like Call of Duty. Look at recent ones like Doom, Mortal Kombat X, Wolfenstein The New Order and The Binding of Isaac. They're all well-loved for their quality rather than their edginess.

Most of them all involve maimings, brutal killings, ect of humans, and or genitalia on monsters.

Ignoring the above mentions, Metroid Prime games are just as "M" as any of those. It just doesn't get the M rating cause it doesn't glorify "gore"

You can still have a creepy, scary, sci fi game without resorting to gore. Heck, it's a common trope that many horror movies fall to. They don't have good stories, actors, ect and thus rely on "shock" moments, jump scares, ect to try and set itself apart.

Metroid going "M" for the sake of M, would be like a shitty horror movie doing something extreme for sake of extreme like Human centipede.
