This is really troubling... I never understood why one of Nintendo's best series struggles so much to find an audience.

Its time to retire the old 2D sidescroller and just make the 3D ones.
its like Mario in that reguard, nintendo need to put effort into their titles and not do simplistic 2D games that indie's are now close to matching.

Exactly this! You could either pay $40 for Samus Returns, or play similar and arguably better Metroidvanias for $10 to $15 on another platform.
