You do bring some valid points, and I agree that Symphony of the Night was pretty much the pinnacle of side-scrolling exploration gaming. Do you possibly believe the problem with Metroid these days is too many games in too short of time? Many years ago there were YEARS between each game, and it gave a sort of happy anticipation for each installment. I kinda enjoy that long wait, as it gives me time to play other games while hyping up for the next upcoming game. With the Prime series milked to death in many iterations, it seemed to stagnate the Metroid series as a whole.

I also feel Nintendo needs to take a step back and look at where they've come, and what sort of things need to be done in order to bring it back from the dead. An HD 2D experience would certainly be helpful, as graphics are rarely an issue for anyone who truly respects the ideas of the developers of a franchise they love. I feel that way, anyway...
