I doubt reviews will have a significant effect on sales; very few people will actually decide not to buy a game just cos it scored an 80s rather than a 90s on Metacritic, internet enthusiasts greatly overestimate the importance of review scores, especially when they're not even that bad.
The bigger challenge for Metroid is that the franchise just isn't that mainstream, with even the highest selling entry only selling around 3m.
