give me a Metroid theme park and you've got yourself a deal Nintendo
doubt it, nintendo is trying to distance itself from metroid at this point...honestly my inner conspiracy theorist is starting to think that they put sakamoto up to it and intentionally made other m awful, the metroid franchise would have been pretty problematic because it consistently gets high ratings and has an extremely dedicated fanbase, but doesn't sell particularly great either and nintendo now views anything that doesn't sell millions of copies as a failure. they kind of needed to run it into the ground given what their goals are. just everything I've read from sakamoto otherwise...he seems like a bright guy and especially on the subject of metroid, what he's said in the past makes it hard for me to believe the same person could be responsible for other m, it's not even consistent with his own philosophies
I don't think so but hey, just throwing it out there
He just fell in love with Samus and wanted to turn her into a girl he could have chances with.
Or something.
I bet that's it.
