Metroid, as cool as it is, is grossly overblown on internet forums for its sales impact.
It's firmly on the lower rung on Nintendo's mid-tier franchises.
Fire Emblem and Luigi's Mansion are both bigger IP. Not freaking chance would Nintendo ever let Metroid be their "big" 2018 Switch title ... there will be at minimum 4-5 Nintendo games that have far larger market impact than a Metroid game.
