Oh no, not the ''I'm a big fan of *insert name of your interest here*" so that you can shield yourself from everyone else opinion. That's a lame excuse. + Stating yourself as a BIG Metroid fan but then your not even playing the new released game makes it coming off contradictory with what you stated.

P.S : On a subjective standpoint, SR graphics and art direction are a sight to behold that surpass easily any 2D Metroid with Super Metroid/Fusion coming close since I even am a fan of 2D sprites style myself. Then, the 3D function enhance a lot of the experience with everything in the background poping up beautifully.

I don't feel the need to buy less than stellar games just so more Metroid games get made. I don't let myself be black-mailed like that. If Nintendo doesn't want to put AAA effort in my favorite franchise then I'll just skip it and play substitutes like Hollow Knight and Steamworld Dig 2. Their loss, not mine. 

I'd highly recommend playing the game, or at the very least, seeing if you can look at a friend who's playing it or something; the game legitimately looks much better running on a 3DS than the upscaled screenshots online can communicate. You can't really get a real feel for what it looks like just by looking at screens. I can't speak for the comparison to Hollow Knight, as I haven't gotten a chance to play it yet, but I would say without hesitation that Samus Returns looks better than Zero Mission. It's that significant of a difference from screenshot to actual game running.

On top of that, the gameplay is so on point (I'd argue the best Metroidvania title in at least a decade) that it would be worth playing even if it was just straight up stick figure art or something.
