I would love if that were the case.  I just usually take these rumours with a grain of salt when they're always exactly what fans are asking for and Nintendo rarely delivers.

I kind of think Nintendo does a good job representing each franchise within a generation.  Yes, they do always insist on trying an "innovative" route, but I think this generation, they have delivered on a sandbox Mario, a Pokemon franchise on a docked console, and an Animal Crossing (that doesn't require amiibo and isn't a board game).  So why can't they deliver on this too?  Huh? Huh? :)

Because Metroid has always been the red-headed step child of the Nintendo Family.  They had a good consistent run during the Gamecube / GBA days, but that's really it.  Before that it was long stretches between releases.  And the last 9-10 years we've basically had a remake and some kind of multiplayer shooter with a soccer mini game.

I can't speak for Paper Mario, but its treatment hasn't been much better.

I hope this rumour is true.  I just can't and won't blindly trust any Metroid rumour because there have been dozens in the last decade that have amounted to nothing. This is made all the harder by the fact that Metroid is probably my favourite Nintendo franchise.
