My long winded point is - if Nintendo can make buzz around Prime 4, it will gain more fans. Im one of those people that only got into series like Fire Emblem or Zelda because of the buzz. Lets just hope for the best. 

Agree with this.

I was one of the people who jumped on board with Fire Emblem at Awakening. It was a combination of getting familliar with the characters through Smash and a ton of positive reviews for Awakening. 

I'm also this way for Metroid. I'd never really played a Metroid game until I played Super Metroid a few years ago. Samus Returns will be a day one purchase for me.

Sometimes, franchises bloom late. 

Yeah I'm not really sure if Metroid is ever gonna be a big thing, there's late blooming and then there's blooming in your 60s/70s, Metroid is a very old franchise by now. It kinda is what it is, the truth is I think the type of gameplay it has (solitary, low action, exploration based) just doesn't really lend itself to a big audience. 

Even the film franchise its inspired by (Alien) has always been a box office light weight compared to something like Star Wars, which is more of a crowd pleaser.
