About the Metroid, if you want online multiplayer to Metroid, you really have missed what Metroid is all about.
Problem with online multiplayer games is, that usually games for omp are designed for it, and single player sucks. Gears of War is a good example, or Starcraft. WoW in the other hand doesn't have single player and it doesn't need one. Trend seems to be that you have a couple of hours solo campaign to train you for the online multiplayer.
People who play WoW, they play it because they want to play online. And people who buy Twilight Princess, doesn't feel need to play it online. There was 2 games, that have been designed for different approaches considering online, and both of them are good as is.
In the future, online is unevidable, but games run into problems, when online is required to play or to get the most fun out of it. There are only few games, that have good online, and that why the few games are so popular online. After more competition, people in numbers, play less one online game and games popularity drops, since people are not interested in playing a game, for which you have to wait possibly hours to get someone to play with, or just that only couple of people are playing the game.
If game has a good campaign, it doesn't need online, or just few online features is enough, but if the game is bad, it must have online to save some.
