If you were in Nintendo, how much would you invest in Metroid Prime 4 ?

No Jumpin is right we've had those type of games on Nintendo platforms before people just don't go for them because its not what they buy the platform for, Prime had multiplayer with both Echoes and Hunters and it just didn't suit the series at all. The likes of Cod and such failed to impact the userbase as games like Rayman even outsold them they don't offer much growth what so ever which is why Nintendo did their own thing in creating Splatoon.

Fact that we had them before doesnt relly change nothing, and comparing 1vs1 local multiplayer with potential online multiplayer with far more players is quite big. Fact is that singleplayer game with good online multiplayer mod also is more attractive like package than game just with single player mode, I mean if online multiplayer is done good you could have some people buying it just for multiplayer part of game not caring about single player content.

It wasn't 1v1 in Echoes and local multiplayer was all the rage back then with games like Timesplitters and all what you're suggesting is the same mistake they made back then where they just jump on a popular crowded bandwagon and that fell flat. Fact of the matter here is people don't buy games like Metroid for multiplayer it's like saying games like Deus Ex should have it when that's never been what the games are about or aim for.

Games like Splatoon already fill the online shooter void on the platform.
