As I've said.... Retro is incredible talented and they did an amazing job with Metroid prime. But: People always act like Retro did wonders on Metroid and they completely changed the Metroid series. Yes Nintendo failed to figure out how to translate Metroid into 3D and Retro managed to do it. However, at the end it is just Metroid in 3D..... Don't get me wrong I love the Metroid prime trilogy.

I think you're lowballing how hard it is to translate a 2D series successfully to 3D; tons of franchises fumbled the transition and became worse rather than better with the addition of a third dimension.

Cough *sonic* Cough

They STILL haven't really figured it out, as good as the adventure games were.

 

Also kirby is another example, they just decided to NOT go 3d at all by going to portables untill the resurgence of 2d on home consoles.
