This game probably would have been received way better if they used any other name than Metroid. Something tells me that a suit in Japan said that it will be better received if it had the Metroid name. I hope that suit is in a time out now. Or being punished by playing the Virtual Boy.

I read somewhere (NeoGAF?) someone speculating that the whole E3 Nintendo Direct, Iwata not showing, was a sign of internal power struggle at Nintendo HQ.That Iwata wanted to shame those that forced these decision trough!

Metroid-franchise is not selling at all in Japan and not stellar in EU either. It must be up to NOA to pull trough a "real" Metroid game!
