Don't get me wrong, Nintendo do make splendid games but ... they need to create a new or much bigger path leading to Metroidvania-style games. There's way too much emphasis on their boring, brain-training pastimes and cartoony romps designed for minors barely out of their nappies. Come on Nintendo ... pull your goddamn socks up!

I think they're doing what works for their business. Nintendo is pretty good about knowing its market. Considering how their last 2D Metroid title sold (in spite of being quite good) they should probably leave the metroid-vanias to third-parties

Samus Returns suffered from being a remake released on a system on its way out (be honest Ninty, we all know it's true) and dealing with backlash from the actions towards AM2R. Plus, Metroid has never been huge sales-wise despite a lot of people considering on par with Zelda and Mario (primarily outside Japan).
Plus, there are about 75 million 3DSes to 200 million Game Boys (including Color and Advance) and the sales figures are for physical only.

I just want to see how the recently-announced Link's Awakening remake & Fire Emblem: Three Houses will do in sales before I have anything more to say.
I'd love to see more news on Metroid Prime 4 (and we do have a separate topic for that).
