Let's talk Metroid ( New Poll Added: Samus goes to Hollywood? )

I think the bottom line with any spin-off is that Metroid needs to stick the landing with the next title, and even the next after that. The franchise is on extremely shaky ground with a few experiments and the next two titles need to either be the tried and true Prime or the tried and true 2D. Anything beyond that will make fans feel like they're not getting what they want. Mario vs Rabbids would have been more dismissed if we hadn't known about Mario Odyssey. Thankfully we know that Nintendo is doing exactly that. They're putting some major financial/time backing on the next title and they know the audience they're shooting for is extremely picky and won't just buy it in droves unless it represents a return to form.

But like others, I'm all for them doing other things with the franchise. I really wouldn't mind a Chozo based game where we get to see them crafting some of the items for Samus. There's just so much in Samus' world that hasn't been investigated, and Idon't mean her relationships with father figures and adopted alien babies either.
