I don't think "trouble" is the right word. I feel it's more like... a huge missed opportunity to make Metroid Prime (or Metroid in general) a much bigger brand.
Like... I'm not worried about its quality (I think Retro Studios is giving it all to prove themselves as the true "Metroid Prime guys"). But by playing the right cards, there was potential to make Metroid Prime sell at least on the levels of pre Switch Zelda (4-8 millions for main entries). Being a key Switch 2 holiday was a good start, but non-existent marketing, Prime 1 being a fistant 2022 release and the lack of Prime 2 and 3 on Switch/Switch 2 REALLY holds the game down.
They are not feeding the hype machine, that's the problem.
