It doesn't look like you've played the game, so why brush off my post like that?

Well. Many reviews and opinions clearly go against your own.

Yeah, hoping 2D Metroid won't ever disappear because Nintendo will take this as no one want 2D Metroid game

Agreed.
I just want a game with similar flair as Super Metroid... The later games seemed to have focused more heavily on Samus as a character, complete with a story, text, audio... And I think that ruins the point of having the player essentially make their own narrative.

Same issue with The Master Chief in Halo, he shouldn't/doesn't need to be a chatty fellow.

Not sure if Samus Returns falls into that same trap... But Zero Mission did to a small degree and that did put me off later games a bit.

As far as I can recall, Samus does not say a word.  There's a couple of scenes to show new bosses (think of the boss intros in Ocarina of Time but more elaborate) and an opening and ending cutscene.  So, maybe like 5-10 minutes of that sort of stuff all combined.  

So, if that was your only issue, I think you'll be ok with this.  Except, I don't think you can really make your own narrative... The narrative for this game is pretty much the same as the original Metroid 2.  Look, there are Metroids.  Go kill them.
