They really kick our arses with the wait for new Metroid's huh. But I'm glad that the series seems to have remained Sakamoto's singular vision the entire time even if it's not the original team anymore.
As for the hate it's getting, enjoy playing nothing, I suppose? The less reactionary ones amongst us will certainly appreciate what we get, because Metroid isn't some yearly Ubisoft/EA experience. So what if every game in the series is not made exactly to the specifications that we want? I think Fusion is pretty awful in many ways, but it is certainly a unique experience and a commendable achievement regardless of its problems. The same goes for Other M and Samus Returns. At least every game in the series has so far been made with some passion and intent to do something different. Every game is relevant.
I really enjoyed hearing Sakamoto's thoughts in the development history. He could have made this game a decade ago, but he chose to hold off instead of making a cookie-cutter Metroid game. Finally we get to see work of a true creator in this industry. I feel like it's been a long time since such a project and Metroid is clearly unique in that respect. We should appreciate that.
