Honestly, I'd go the other way and continue with Samus's bounty hunting adventures while dumping the Metroids.
But hey, in the meantime I just hope that if they're serious about this bringing a conclusion to the Samus and the Metroids' narrative arc, that the ending is worthy of the franchise. It's a tall order dishing up a satisfying climax to such a beloved series.
Still, from what we've seen so far I'm impressed, and definitely buying day 1.
