True, but fact remains Metroid still doesnât bring in the same numbers as other franchises under Nintendoâs banner. Really this is more a âsad realityâ of the gaming industry in general. For a non-Nintendo game: Mirrorâs Edge took a long time to finally get a sequel. Also this isnât the first time Metroidâs gone a long time without a new mainline entry, there was an eight year gap between Super Metroid in 1994 and Prime 1 and Fusion in 2002. F-Zero also hasnât gotten a new entry in over a decade, and Kid Icarus was dormant for over 20 years until Uprising.
Some franchises just end up sitting on the backburner for a long time while the parent company chooses to instead put out guaranteed successes, and in time they bring back something old to see if it still has appeal. Maybe in a year or two weâll hear something about a new mainline Metroid in the works, but for now all you can do is wait patiently, and frankly yes a good thing to do is still support Nintendo by buying other games from them you like so they can stay in business and hopefully one day make a new Metroid, because if someoneâs such a spiteful fan that they hope Nintendo goes out of business all because of no new Metroid in a long while then thatâs a misguided way of thinking.
